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 and Fixbox/instructions
- Parameters include:
- |link=false - no 'link here' text - if you want to make the header into a link itself.

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 obtstructive DRM.
General information
- Steam Forum.
- Official Forum - this is a very active official forum.
- Wikis, websites or even specific threads (if they are particularly useful).
Windows
- If still relevant, state where can bugs be reported.
Availability
- Which is the 'best' version of the game to get?
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.
