== How to create an UniWiki's Patch Note article ==
== Workflow ==


To-Do, but you can follow [https://maraarin.github.io/eve-online-patch-transformer/ EVE Online Patch Transformer] for the time being.

== Ignored Patch Notes ==
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.


To Do, will start empty but will grow as more and more discussions arise from using the patch notes.

<!-- add categories -->
# Compare the [https://www.eveonline.com/news/t/patch-notes Patch Note] blog posts with the contents of UniWiki patch note articles.
# Copy [https://www.eveonline.com/news/t/patch-notes Patch Note] blog post HTML as per [https://maraarin.github.io/eve-online-patch-transformer/ Patch Transformer] instructions.

=== Clean-up ===
 
# Analyze the UniWiki patch note article formatting and the quantity of {{T|PatchNoteStatus}}.
# Format the UniWiki patch note article according to the [[UniWiki:Editing Guide|Editing Guide]].
# Remove {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} that aren't useful or are superfluous.
 
=== Integrate ===
 
# If {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} is in {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|}} state, read the template's [[Template:PatchNoteStatus|documentation]].
# Read the template's [[Template:PatchNoteStatus|documentation]] about which patch notes are irrelevant.
# To change the {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} state, read the template's [[Template:PatchNoteStatus|documentation]].
# It can be difficult to find the article that should be updated or created to add a patch note's knowledge to the UniWiki.
#* Look through the [[:Category:Navbox templates|Navbox]] and [[:Category:Sidebar templates|Sidebar]] templates for articles related to the patch note. For example, you can find:
#** all ship articles in the [[Template:ShipsMatrix]]
#** all skill articles in the [[Template:Skills Links]].
#* Try searching for articles that contain words related the patch note using the UniWiki search bar.
#* If the article doesn't exist, create a new article as per [[UniWiki:Editing Guide|Editing Guide]] instructions.
# To change the {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} state, read the template's [[Template:PatchNoteStatus|documentation]].
# Self-explanatory, this step instructs you to process the next {{T|PatchNoteStatus}}.
# If {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} is in {{PatchNoteStatus|to do|}} state, read the template's [[Template:PatchNoteStatus|documentation]].
# To change the {{T|PatchNoteStatus}} state, read the template's [[Template:PatchNoteStatus|documentation]].
