'''Patch Notes''' list UniWiki's patch note articles and how to use them. UniWiki's patch notes are sourced from [https://www.eveonline.com/news/t/patch-notes EVE Online's Patch Note] blog posts, then processed using the [[#Workflow]]. All capsuleers are encouraged to update the UniWiki using the UniWiki's patch notes.

The purpose of UniWiki's patch notes is:

* to track how up-to-date the UniWiki is in reference to EVE Online's patch notes

* to coordinate and organize UniWiki editors around a common goal

* to serve as a reference point for which patch note is irrelevant in the eyes of the UniWiki

UniWiki's patch notes are sourced from [https://www.eveonline.com/news/t/patch-notes Patch Note] blog posts, then converted using [https://maraarin.github.io/eve-online-patch-transformer/ Patch Transformer] into MediaWiki format. Before pasting the transformed MediaWiki formatted patch notes, they need to be formatted and the number of {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} reduce. Each patch note is prefixed by a {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} state, but some patch notes are connected and don't each need a separate status.
