should be left empty and the |date=
parameter should be added with the date in the following format DD Month YYYY

How to start
On the OSWF project page, a list of patch notes can be found, these are what will be mainly used to grab the information about changes and fill in the articles.
- To start, go to User:Banri/Update History and click on a patch.
- Copy or rewrite each line on their respective page(s), you can also add wiki links to the UL.
- Changes are sometimes grouped and can be copied easily.
- After finishing a patch, strike through its entry on the list with
<s> </s>
and sign your name afterwards with~~~~
.
Things to have in mind
- The Update history section should be located near the bottom of the article, above the Trivia section and all other sections.
- Make sure you're following the proper order (reverse chronological, this means that the most recent updates should be at the top).
- The first indented lines should have the update list template, and the second indented lines should have the actual patches (see the example code above).
- When different types of updates happen on the same patch, these can be put in order of priority: Update > Patch > Hotfix.
- When adding a recent update ensure that the article's content is updated accordingly or an appropriate tag such as Template:Incomplete is added.
