Documentation for the above template (sometimes hidden from view).
Specify each row with {{Game data/config|
(for configuration files) or {{Game data/saves|
(for save game data). 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.
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
{{Game data| {{Game data/saves|DOS|{{p|game}}\DATA\SAVEGAME}} }}
This produces:
System | Location |
---|---|
DOS | <path-to-game>\DATA\SAVEGAME |
