Specify each row with {{Game data/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.
Using notes
- Add a note if the folder path needs further explanation, e.g. Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss has a
SAVE0folder 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/row|Save games (GOG.com)|C:\GOG Games\Fallout\DATA\SAVEGAME}}
{{Game data/row|Save games (Steam)|C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout\DATA\SAVEGAME}}
}}
This produces:
