The main focus of this wiki is providing a centralized hub for PC game fixes. However, if the fixes provided are not explained in a clean and easy to follow process, then they are useless. Ultimately, this defeats the purpose of this wiki. This section handles two critical aspects of providing fixes: the Fixbox, and how to give instructions "properly".
Syntax
{{Fixbox|description=Name|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix= --instructions go here-- }}
Example
FSW.dll
<path-to-game>
The Fixbox is a specialized container used exclusively for fixes, workarounds, and step-by-step instructions. It provides a formal base for them, as well as keeping the wiki clean.
