The following gives a breakdown on the formatting that should be followed on ALL the Patch Note pages for uniformity purposes.
Applies to all sections formatting:
- When bulleted style is used: one space to always follow * symbol before the text flow.
- ie: Not: *{{ai|ability|hero}} But: * {{ai|ability|hero}}.
- Each change note to be finished with a period at the end of the line, unless otherwise needed.
- Each bullet entry after the * symbol to start with capital letter, unless otherwise needed.
- ie: Not: * symbol... But: * Symbol...
- All decimal fractions to be preceded by zero (0) if they are less than 1. (0.5, NOT .5)
- All changes involving percentages, the % symbol to be used after numbers not as a separate word.
- ie: Slow reduced to 5% from 12% NOT: Slow % reduced to 5 from 12.
- Any changes that go between different values per level and single value at all levels to use the phrase "at all ranks" after the single value.
- ie: Cooldown modified to 5/6/7/8/9 sec from 5 at all ranks. NOT: Cooldown modified to 5/6/7/8/9 sec from 5.
