After much discussion with moderators and contributors, I have completed a new version of the sample game article layout which should be used as a blueprint for all game article pages. The biggest change is that the same H1 header level has been given to =Windows=, =Mac= and =Linux=. I am happy to take any feedback on the new layout.

Is the "Version differences" section really the best heading for that section? I mean Serial Keys and DRM really have very little to do with the version. Sure, different versions might have different DRM and serial keys, but that's not typically going to be the case.

EDIT: Also, I have one other question. If a game is Windows only, should we be using the H1 header, or is it just a waste of time?

In response to your second question: The Windows header IS a waste of time if the game is windows only.

The Windows header won't be necessary, but there's no need to change itif it's already there and there is only support for one OS (since many people will be copying the sample article layout which will have the H1 OS headers).

I'm open to a new header name instead of ==Version Differences==. However I can't think of one at the moment!

Really, it's a place to say -

Torchlight on Steam has features x y z,

but not on Steam has a b c,

on Retail it has a serial key, etc.

If a game has no differences between stores, then we could say 'no differences between versions'.
