Latest revision as of 22:17, 9 November 2021

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.

Example

Instructions

|developer = Developer |publisher = Publisher |release dates = Month day, year }}-->

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

Provide basic, important links for the game. Do not over-populate the list.
Steam Forum.
Official Forum - this is a very active official forum.
Wikis, websites or even specific threads (if they are particularly useful).

Windows

Availability

Which is the 'best' version of the game to get?

Essential improvements

One can use subheaders as below, or simply list individual improvements as 3rd level headers.

Patches

Include if

There is a benefit in using an older patch. For example, Diablo II's latest patch is 1.13, but the high-res mod only supports 1.12.
There is a community or fan patch which is superior to the latest developer patch. Include a link.
Instructions

Utilities

Launchers, reputable save game editors, etc.

Modifications

List mods that provide the 'best experience' and are the 'most popular'.
Balance mods and aesthetic mods can also be included if they are stable, mature and popular.
If possible, keep the list short. Do not include mods based on personal preference alone.
