Instructions
Bullet point icons
- The purpose of the bullet point graphics is to provide more brevity and clarity to article content.
- All icons automatically indent onto a new line.
- Virtually all sentences in all game fix pages should use these codes:
- -
{{ii}}
- information.
- -
{{++}}
- positive / advantage / recommend.
- -
{{--}}
- negative / disadvantage / dissuade.
Style crib sheet
- We have decided to not include genre information. The focus of the wiki is to provide information about how to fix games, rather than the content of games.
- Reference where the fixes come from using <ref> tags and templates ({{refurl}}, {{refcheck}}, {{refsnip}}).[1]
- All headers and page names to use sentence case. This means capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, with no other capitals unless it is a proper noun or acryonym.
Fixbox
- Use the Fixbox template to boxout fixes and instructions.

How to apply this fix.

Note: Fixbox titles MUST describe the fix method, e.g. 'Edit VideoSettings.ini' or 'Run in DirectX 9 through command line'. This helps the user make a choice between multiple solutions to the same problem.
Key points
- Key points are the first few things you might say about a game e.g. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is vastly improved by the restored content patch.
- Noteworthy comments about poor performance or stability.
- Developer support, updates.
- Technical comparisons to other games in the series.
- Particularly obstructive DRM.
General information
- Official Forum - this is a very active official forum
- GOG.com Community Discussions
- GOG.com Support Page
- Steam Community Discussions
- If still relevant, state where bugs can be reported.
Availability
- Which is the 'best' version of the game to get?

Essential improvements
- One can use subheaders as below, or simply list individual improvements as 3rd level headers.
Patches
Include If
- There is a benefit in using an older patch. For example, Diablo II's latest patch is 1.13, but the high-res mod only supports 1.12.
- There is a community or fan patch which is superior to the latest developer patch.
Patch install instructions

Utilities
- Very important launchers, reputable save game editors, etc.
Modifications
- List mods that are very important and would be detrimental if played without the mod, e.g. DSFix, TSLRCM. Balance mods and aesthetic mods can also be included if they are stable, mature and popular.
Game data
- (Linux only) State whether XDG is being followed (partially, completely, not at all)
Configuration file(s) location
- This game follows the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.

System requirements
- Avoid adding any prefixes and suffixes* to the OS parameter such as "Windows 7", "OS X Lion 10.7" and "7 64-bit". These do not apply to Linux as many distros are available. *For windows, service packs are the only suffix permitted.
- 64/32-bit only/recommended mention can be noted either above or below as a point like this instead of being included in the table.
- The separator for more than one operating system is a comma (,) - nothing else.
