Instructions

When adding patch notes, please ensure that the information is accurate, and properly cited. Also, please make sure a link (for help see How to make links) is added to the patch on the patches page.

Adding a patch

1. Patch pages must be named in the format "Month DD, YYYY Patch" or "Month DD, YYYY Patch (Xbox)". For example, "November 20, 2007 Patch" or "October 09, 2007 Patch (Xbox)"
2. Apply the patch template to the new page by typing 
{{Patch
3. Next, add an external link to the patch notes 
|SOURCE=http://steampowered.com/link/to/patch/notes
Note: Please make sure that the link is accurate, and directly links to the official patch notes from steampowered.com. Also, please remove any language/region settings from the link by removing the "&cc=XX" part of the URL (XX is a region code, typically "US").
4. Add a bulleted list of changes (not bug fixes) 
|CHANGES=
* Change 1
* Change 2
* Change 3
* Etc.
5. Add a bulleted list of bug fixes 
|BUGS=
* Bug 1
* Bug 2
* Bug 3
* Etc.
6. Finally close the template with 
}}

Note: Category information tags are not needed, as these are already a part of the template.

After typing all the information for the patch, check the details with the Show preview button. If every thing looks correct, click the Save page button.
