==Templates==
The templates used on this project are {{t|Update history}} or {{t|UH}} and {{t|Update list}} or {{t|UL}}. Update history should only be added to the mainspace, '''''Update history''''' essentially creates the box where '''''Update list''''' items will be added.

Example:
<pre>
{{UH|
* {{UL|update=Update:Game Update - Outlands}}
** Outlands was released
}}
</pre>
Produces the following:
{{UH|
* {{UL|update=Update:Game Update - Outlands}}
** Outlands was released
}}

==Update types==
* There are 3 types of updates that can be listed in the <code>|type=</code> parameter:
** <code>update</code> - Usually used on releases, also shows as default when the <code>|type=</code> parameter isn't used.
** <code>patch</code> - The most used, usually on every change;
** <code>hotfix</code> - Used on hotfixes

hotfixes updates do not require an actual update to be added to the <code>|update=</code> parameter. If the change happens without an update post, <code>|update=</code> should be left empty and the <code>|date=</code> parameter should be added with the date in the following format <code>DD Month YYYY</code>.

{{UH|
* {{UL|type=hotfix|update=|date=12 February 2020}}
** Random Bug fix
}}

==How to start==
On the '''[[GSWiki:One Small Wiki Favor|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 <code><nowiki><s> </s></nowiki></code> and sign your name afterwards with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.

==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.
