Template:VersionHistory/doc

Description

This template is used to format version history and changelogs in a consistent and accessible manner.

Usage

For a version, the template is called using {{vh}} and ended with {{vhend}}. Patches are placed in between the main {{vh}} call and the {{vhend}}, but still use {{vh}}.

The template aims to format the list in a fluid and responsive manner that supports varying screen sizes. It was made in response to the old table style of changelogs causing issues on mobile devices.

Patches must include the word "patch" in order to be formatted correctly, in the format [version] patch [patch_number]. This may be unideal for games with irregular patch schemes. Changes to this system (that do not break existing uses of the template) would be welcome.

There is an unused data component in the template that would add version data to the API. It is disabled as the data is redundant except release date.

Parameters

Version History lists. Fluid structure.

Template parameters

This template has custom formatting.
