Instructions
- Code sections can be copied using the edit link for this page.
- Delete the last line of code, and choose an appropriate category, which will normally be
. - The Fallout (series) of articles is an excellent reference point for example of good articles.
Bullet point icons
- The purpose of the bullet point graphics is to provide more brevity and clarity to article content.
- All icons automatically indent onto a new line.
- Virtually all sentences in all game fix pages should use these codes:
- -
{{ii}}- information. - -
{{++}}- positive / advantage / recommend. - -
{{--}}- negative / disadvantage / dissuade.
Style crib sheet
- We have decided to not include genre information. The focus of the wiki is to provide information about how to fix games, rather than the content of games.
- Reference where the fixes come from using <ref> tags.[1]
- All headers and page names to use sentence case. This means capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, with no other capitals unless it is a proper noun or acryonym.
Fixbox
- Use the Fixbox template to boxout fixes and instructions.
Fixbox/fix and Fixbox/instructions
- Parameters include:
- |link=false - no 'link here' text - if you want to make the header into a link itself. Use if the header includes a reference or any other internal/external link.

Key points
- Key points are the first few things you might say about a game (e.g., Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is vastly improved by the restored content patch).
- Noteworthy comments about poor performance or stability.
- Developer support, updates.
- Technical comparisons to other games in the series.
- Particularly obtstructive DRM.
General information

Availability
- Which is the 'best' version of the game to get?
Essential improvements

- There is a community or fan patch which is superior to the latest developer patch. Include a link.
| Instructions |

Modifications
- List mods that provide the 'best experience' and are the 'most popular'.
