Instructions
- Code sections can be copied using the edit link for this page.
- Choose an appropriate category, which will normally be
[[Category:Windows]]
. - The Fallout series of articles is an excellent reference point for example of good articles.
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.[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.
Fixbox/fix
- Parameters include:
- |link=false - no 'link here' text - if you want to make the header into a link itself.
Example
Instructions |

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
- Steam Users' Forums
- Steam Community Discussions
- GOG.com Community Discussions
- GOG.com Support Page
- If still relevant, state where bugs can be reported.

Essential improvements
- One can use subheaders as below, or simply list individual improvements as 3rd level headers.
Patches

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.

Notes
- ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/207170/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (207170) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
