Template:Game data/Documentation
Specify each row with {{Game Location Table/row|
. The first parameter is for the data type, the second parameter is the path.
Where possible use environmental variables instead of manual paths (e.g. %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games
, not C:\Users\your user name\Saved Games
) since these will automatically expand when used to match the path on the user's end.
Note that My Documents is always %USERPROFILE%\My Documents
even though newer versions hide the "My"; do not use %USERPROFILE%\Documents
.
Using notes
- Add a note if the folder path needs further explanation, e.g. Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss has a
SAVE0
folder that isn't actually one of the user's save files. - If the game has a Linux version, specify whether it supports the XDG specification using the Template:XDG.
Example usage
