Editing Draft:Update article template (section)

== Template usage ==
The header will be published as '''Template:Game update'''. Its right-aligned infobox contains the original WordPress post title, release date, Changelog link and previous/next navigation arrows. The infobox heading and Changelog link text use <code>source-title</code>, retaining the full original post title even when the Wiki article name is normalized. The normalized <code>name</code> is used in the lead; no separate Version field is needed. Bconomy uses regular roman text.

Display the converted body in a blockquote with a tinted backdrop and left border, using the Wiki theme colors. Preserve its nested lists inside the quotation. Keep the blog-post body under '''Changelog''', converting only the markup and removing the standalone footer link to the Bconomy Credits page. Preserve the original wording, spelling, order, formatting, heading hierarchy, nested lists, other links and contributor names.

Use '''[[Template:Update history navbox]]''' at the bottom with <code><nowiki>{{Update history navbox}}</nowiki></code>. It automatically lists published update articles from [[:Category:Game updates]] using the Wiki's installed CategoryTree extension. There is no release list to maintain in each article. The draft is excluded from that main-namespace list.

The infobox's previous/next parameters use canonical Wiki article titles and link directly to those articles. There is no blog-post fallback. The next arrow is hidden when its parameter is empty or its Wiki article does not exist. During backfill, create the update articles before completing their chronological neighbor links; verify that both directions point to the intended saved articles. The preview's previous article will become a working link when that article is imported.

<pre>
{{Game update
| name = v2026.11.01
| released = 2026-11-01
| source = https://blog.bconomy.net/2026/11/01/release-v2026-11-01-8e14f174a/
| source-title = v2026.11.01
| previous = v2026.10.31.2
| next =
}}

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== Changelog ==
<blockquote style="clear:both;margin:1em 0;padding:1em 1.25em;border-left:4px solid var(--bc-link, #a2a9b1);background-color:var(--bc-raised, #f8f9fa);" cite="https://blog.bconomy.net/2026/11/01/release-v2026-11-01-8e14f174a/">

<!-- Original blog-post body converted to wikitext, excluding the Credits footer link. -->

</blockquote>

{{Update history navbox}}
</pre>

For legacy normalization, use '''Game Update (MM-DD-YYYY)''' for generic titles, and strip the date/Changelog or Bconomy prefix from versioned titles. Preserve distinct named updates. For example, an article named '''Game Update (12-23-2020)''' retains '''12/23 Changelog''' as its infobox heading and original-post link label:
<pre>
{{Game update
| name = Game Update (12-23-2020)
| released = 2020-12-23
| source = https://blog.bconomy.net/2020/12/24/12-23-changelog/
| source-title = 12/23 Changelog
}}
</pre>
The stated December 23 release date is authoritative even though WordPress records publication on December 24. Backfill only actual released game changes; exclude community updates, teasers, preview builds, helper tools and standalone website updates after inspecting ambiguous post contents.

=== Parameters ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Meaning
|-
| <code>name</code> || Normalized Wiki update name used in the lead; defaults to the article title.
|-
| <code>released</code> || Required release date in YYYY-MM-DD form. A release date explicitly stated in the post takes precedence over WordPress publication metadata.
|-
| <code>source</code> / <code>source-title</code> || Original blog-post URL and full original title. The title is retained in both the infobox heading and Changelog link text.
|-
| <code>previous</code> / <code>next</code> || Adjacent canonical Wiki article titles in release chronology; leave empty at an endpoint. Previous always links to the Wiki article. Next is shown only when its target article exists.
|}

Published update articles belong to '''Category:Game updates''' and their release-year category. This draft does not populate those categories.
