Template:Game update helper

Description

This template is used to substitute the current skill or trait game update notes either in the version history table or in the version history page. It requires the usage of the temporary template {{Game update icon subobject}} and the parameter "note" to get the game update notes. The current infobox is "copied" with dpl. Uses /subst and /subst2 for substituting "{{" and "}}", respectively.

Usage

1. Copy the game notes into your sandbox
2. Replace Game update icon with Game update icon subobject
3. Regex-replace \{\{game update icon subobject\|(.*?)\}\}: (.*) with {{game update icon subobject|$1|note=$2}}.
4. Use {{subst:game update helper|source=<your sandbox>}} in the version history table and /history page, set unnamed parameter 1 to the date if needed.

Temporarily used properties

• Has game update context page
• Has game update page
• Has game update note
