UniWiki's patch notes are sourced from [https://www.eveonline.com/news/t/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. | ||
