Template:Game updates/doc

Description

This template creates its own section, and fills it with related patch records for the game-item page it is used on.

The section header has no edit option, which is intentional.

Patch records are ordered from newest at the top, to oldest at the bottom.

Record/entries coming from the same patch ... use some odd random order. (Its a SMW thing)

Usage

Simply add a new line with "{{Game Development}}" at the end of the page-source.

End-of-document exception: Navigation footer templates. Those should stay below the {{Game Development}} call.

Parameters

Only one unnamed parameter that takes an integer value. Which is used to change the default "Game Development" header level. The default is header-level 2.

Header-level 3 example: "{{Game Development|3}}"

Utilises

Template:Game Development: A redirect-page to enable the "Game Development" name for the call. As that's also the name that is used for the section header.

Template:Game updates/out: Sub-template that takes care of the actual, per line/record, output. (currently its using the general "patch" & "quote" templates as fast solution to get the job done.)

Example output

(which is empty in this case)

Game Development (empty)

See the "What links here" page for a list of pages that use the "Game Development" call.

Used data

The data used directly by this template is coming from the Game Updates/Changes year pages.

The final printout also uses some additional data that's coming from the main Game Updates page itself.
