Date | Changes |
---|---|
May 7, 2021 | {{API}} was updated to support new Windows/Linux ARM parameters. The old macos arm notes parameter have been made obsolete, though it is still supported in the backend for compatibility purposes. The macOS (ARM) row of the "Technical specs" section have been removed and replaced with an ARM column in the "Executable" section instead.
Misc changes:
|
April 29, 2021 | {{Tickcross-a}}, {{Tickcross-a-na}}, and {{Tickcross-a-nr}} was all updated to actually set 'always on' to the properties they were used for. Seems that up until now they did not actually set that property. |
April 17, 2021 | general midi audio related parameters was added to {{Audio}}. |
December 20, 2020 | DRM-free* (note the wildcard * ) was added as an acceptable DRM to use in the availability table.
|
December 15, 2020 | {{Tickcross-l-nohack}} was created and added to the Steam row of {{Save game cloud syncing}}. This basically adds the limited state available for Steam Cloud (for now) to document situations where the support is limited in some way, such as not respecting a relocated Documents or Saved Games folder on Windows. |
November 28, 2020 | The {{Video}} table, editing guide, and sample articles was updated with two new ray tracing based parameters that populates the new Property:Ray tracing.
Note that there's currently no glossary page, but as the Glossary namespace is editable for everyone, feel free to create Glossary:Ray tracing (or maybe Glossary:Ray Tracing (RT) is more appropriate?) and add information concerning ray tracing. The new parameters of the Video table is as follows: |ray tracing = |ray tracing notes = |
November 19, 2020 | The {{API}} table, editing guide, and sample articles was updated with two new macOS (ARM)-based parameters that populates the new Property:MacOS ARM app.
Due to being the fastest and easiest way to implement the new parameters, they are currently shown in the Technical specs' table, and not the Executable table. This decision was taken after considering the state of the Executable table, its underlying logic and how it ties into other parts of the articles (e.g. {{Infobox game}}), and the current nature of ARM-based macOS. The implementation might eventually change, but for now the parameters are available and can be used. The new parameters of the API table is as follows: |macos arm app = |macos arm notes = |
November 14, 2020 | Various minor changes over the last few days:
|
November 2, 2020 | Various PCGW misc pages below the Community and About menus have had their header sections hidden to create a more minimal overall page. This follows in the footsteps of PCGamingWiki:Discord and PCGamingWiki:Donate which have already had this design for years now. |
November 1, 2020 | Various {{Infobox company}} related templates have been updated to get the auto-populated tables in line in regards to their width and the data they showcase. Along these changes there have been a few removals of columns from some tables:
|
October 31, 2020 | {{Infobox company}} was updated with an automated populated Subsidiaries field which is populated by the use of |parent=XXXX on the company pages of the subsidiaries. See Company:Ubisoft and Company:Ubisoft Barcelona as examples.
|
October 30, 2020 | Uplay related property assignments are being removed as the new properties are sufficiently populated by now.
Move towards the future Origin > EA Desktop renaming continues, with duplicate (similar to how Uplay > Ubisoft Connect was handled) properties being populated in the foreseeable future. In the backend this means that various properties might now be named EA Desktop or related, even though *technically* the name is not final yet. The prolonged move is necessary since the two clients are, right now, separate, and EA Desktop does not as of this moment include all games that Origin includes. The final visual move to the new branding will be made when EA Desktop goes fully live and can act as a full replacement of Origin for all games on the platform. |
October 27-28, 2020 | Various changes have begun to be implemented. Many of these are an ongoing process, and work will be stretched over multiple days or sometimes weeks to ensure as little impact on various PCGW components as possible (lists, lookups, etc).
|
October 24, 2020 | {{Fixbox}} was updated to support a collapsed state if the |collapsed parameter is added.
Example: {{Fixbox|description=Instructions|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Aemony|date=2020-10-24|comment=}}</ref>|collapsed=yes|fix= # Do stuff. }} |
October 23, 2020 | Alerts and Notices icons were restored so that functionality was not lost in the transition. Other minor bug fixes were also implemented. |
October 22, 2020 | Some minor changes:
|
October 21, 2020 | Multiple changes were made over the day:
|
October 20, 2020 | The horizontal navigation was merged from the staging site to the live site, moving the main navigational menu from the side to the top of the page. As a result of this change the quick links/icons to the left of the user menu in the top right corner have been removed for now. |
September 4, 2020 | Further clarifications have been made today to the wiki policy regarding the bypass of copyright protection, this time in regards to the mention of how to unlock or access some game DLCs on the wiki. |
August 24, 2020 | The wiki policy regarding the bypass of copyright protection in regards to fixes have been slightly changed today to allow for some information pertaining to three specific tools to be mentioned on the wiki or community site. Overall the policy remains the same, but these exceptions were implemented to achieve two goals:
|
August 16, 2020 | Following in the steps of the last change, TriDef 3D and iZ3D related parameters and information have been removed from the Editing Guide, Sample article, as well as the documentation for {{VR support}}. For historical reference and compatibility for the games that makes use of them, no change was made to the template itself.
On another note, {{VR support}} was also updated to mirror the tracked motion controllers notes as entered in the {{Input}} section. The Editing Guide was also updated to clarify that Tracked motion controllers and Traditional controller fields are filled out through the {{Input}} section. |
July 30, 2020 | As GameGrade3D (GG3D) have returned a HTTP 404 for a while now the related classification parameters have been removed from the Editing Guide, Sample article, as well as the documentation for {{VR support}}. For historical reference and compatibility for the games that makes use of them, no change was made to the template itself. |
July 27, 2020 | {{Availability/row}} was updated to support a new seventh parameter that is used to set the game as being unavailable for purchase on a platform. The intention is to retain the availability rows for historical references if the product becomes unavailable for purchase on said platform, so PCGamingWiki does not miss out on critical information contained within (e.g. DRM, notes, that are still applicable to existing owners). The parameter is easily used by adding | unavailable to the end of the row, after the OS parameter but before the closing }} tag, like this:
{{Availability/row| Origin | fifa-14 | Origin | Random note here | | Windows | unavailable }}
|
July 24, 2020 | Added auto-collapse functionality to {{DLC}} and {{DLC/row}} that automatically collapses the table if more than 10 rows are added to the table. Tables containing less than 10 rows will not be collapsible. Also changed the behavior of {{Monetization}} and {{Microtransactions}} tables to be shown by default with an optional collapsible parameter |collapsed=yes that can be added as the editor's discretion. |
July 11, 2020 | Work on improving taxonomy continues, with a new core glossary parameter named name abbr added to allow glossary pages to set an override in how the term is displayed when transcluded unto a page. This will later be used to improve default {{Introduction}} states when added automatically. Right now, there is two types of abbreviation links available to use:
|
June 23, 2020 | Added error handling to all taxonomy rows as well as tidied up and changed various things related to the categories and their glossary pages. Work continues to tidy the taxonomy pages up and the intention is to move the current "glossary" pages (which only holds the glossary definition and no actual content) over to the template namespace to facilitate calling the appropriate information through {{Ultra-widescreen}}, like so: ultra-widescreen |
June 6, 2020 | Reworked {{Seriesbox}} and {{Seriesbox/row}} to support handling collapsible state based on the number of rows as well as behave slightly differently. Along with this change the mobile-specific collapse-by-default custom solution was for now disabled as it conflicted with the rest of the solution. On another note, the fix to anchor links being misaligned was reverted as it misfired and caused the :first-child of some tables to be differently from the rest. CSS3's pseudo-class selectors still do not see the full widespread support necessary to solve this through CSS3, although a proper jQuery + CSS based fix is available in newer MediaWiki main versions, see T42792 and Change 424165. |
June 4, 2020 | Added auto-handling of adding {{Series}} based on specified series taxonomy row. The first specified series now gets automatically included below the infobox. Note that this is not the final revision of the implementation as a future change will add auto-collapsing functionality to the box based on how many rows it includes. |
May 31, 2020 | Extended the games table on engine pages to span the whole width instead of just being limited to 820px. |
May 23, 2020 | Added "Dongle" DRM type to {{Availability/row}}. Very rare for gaming but some do exist (e.g. DJMax Trilogy). |
May 18, 2020 | Made {{Introduction}} section live. |
May 15, 2020 | Added Red Book CD audio row to {{Audio}} following the forum discussion. |
May 9, 2020 | Renamed Video, Audio, and Input templates and section headings to remove "settings" following the forum discussion. Old links to these sections still work as expected. Existing pages will be migrated to the new naming format over time. |
May 2, 2020 | Bug fix to {{Refurl}} and {{Refsnip}} that solves indent and italic formatting only being applied to the first line of a multi-line snippet. We can finally line break in peace now. |
April 30, 2020 | Major changes to Taxonomy project including new {{Glossary}}, new {{Microtransactions}} and {{Monetization}} sections. |
April 22, 2020 | Restored IsThereAnyDeal (ITAD) functionality in {{Infobox game}} (new implementation - only shows when steam appid parameter is filled in and game is currently available digitally). |
April 19, 2020 | Reduced widths of bullet points and dd icons. Added new Microtransactions header to articles. |
April 15, 2020 | Taxonomy project is beginning an implementation phase. Added support for HowLongToBeat into the {{Infobox game}}. |
April 10, 2020 | Changes to caption guideline for screenshots to only require full stop/period for longer captions or those with more than one sentence. A bullet point about cropping settings images being acceptable was also added to the visual guidelines. See the revision diff for full details. |
April 7, 2020 | Added ProtonDB {{Infobox game}} which is automatically populated using the Steam App ID. |
April 6, 2020 | Added separate IGDB icon to {{Infobox game}}. This is automatically populated by {{Infobox game/row/reception}}, but can also be defined through the igdb parameter. If both are used simultaneously with different values, the igdb parameter takes priority over the value populated by {{Infobox game/row/reception}}.Various improvements and updates to documentations surrounding {{Infobox game}} and the sample articles. |
April 3, 2020 | Moved the official site of a game from general information section to {{Infobox game}}, with a matching icon (a house). |
April 2, 2020 | Added support for listing the reception of a title in the infobox game table, through {{Infobox game/row/reception}}. Documentation can be found on {{Infobox game}} for now. |
March 29, 2020 | After a lengthy testing phase PCGamingWiki goes live with the new single sign-on (SSO) solution to bridge the wiki and community sites and accounts using a new unified account referred to as the PCGW Account. The native sign-in methods (and ability to sign in using classic accounts) are disable on both the community and wiki sites simultaneously, and existing and new users needs to set up a new PCGamingWiki Account if they have not done so already. |
March 24, 2020 | Due to them being practically the same, changed {{Refsnip}} into acting as a proxy for {{Refurl}}, which now handles snippets as well. |
March 15-17, 2020 | Disabled IsThereAnyDeal (ITAD) functionality of {{Infobox game}}. |
February 8, 2020 | Added {{Dubious}} and made various improvements to the editing guide and sample article. |
January 6, 2020 | Changes to {{Note}}, allowing for more easily duplicating notes as well as omitting the note= declaration when content is defined as the first parameter. |
December 27, 2019 | Implemented MobyGames integration (more details). |
November 2, 2019 | Forum wiki icon fixed, https://static.pcgamingwiki.com/favicons/pcgamingwiki.png |
October 25, 2019 | Migration of wiki, sidewikis to DigitalOcean Kubernetes. |
October 10, 2019 | ITAD favicon updated - added to Common.css and uploaded to new static file area. |
September 27, 2019 | Added blue border to h3 headers to improve visual separation between header levels. |
