http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/PCGamingWiki:Editing_guide/Fixboxes_and_providing_instructions#The_Fixbox

"Skip intro" is already header of the section, so putting it into fixbox repeats said stuff. Fixboxes header should be fix explained in a nutshell so user gets to know what is being done, so in that case skipping intro requires replacing file, instead of launch parameter, config file editing or removing file. Again, this is explained in editing guide and sample article, which are standards and standards go over personal subjective matters. Of course to be even more cohesive, those should be "replace the file" or "edit configuration file" but that's small difference. That "Use replacement Intro_720p.wmv" was already in that page before I ever touched it.

I do admit that lately I have been simply putting stuff inside fixbox header without the steps, but this is mostly because of my time constrains and/or lack of knowledge/references (I do not personally have the specific problem), because some articles have fixes simply written out as text under header and they should always be inside fixbox. So having them inside fixbox is already step forward.

I know your editing style at this point and I know it's pretty hard to change habits in general, but just as a hint you should try using local text editor when editing stuff. Some of your edits go 100+, which not only gets really negative first reaction from anyone, but also makes it really hard to determine what has being changed (or in your case completely nuked because reasons). Opening one section or whole article in local text editor gives you time to edit it in peace and redo stuff as many times as you want and most likely article won't get touched at that if talking about few years old smaller title. If you leave stuff unfinished and go to eat, of course some may look the edits really funnily and try fixing them (like has happened couple times now).
