Adds a nice link about hotfix changes.

Usage

Note: Though the note, bluenote and comment parameters are all optional, at least one must be included.

  • date - Required. Use format yyyy-mm-dd.
  • version - Version of the game code following the hotfix.
  • link - Generally, a link is automatically added based on the date, via Template:HotfixBlog; this parameter is for cases where it isn't. This includes all dates before November 23, 2010, and any call to this template that uses the doc parameter.
  • note - Quoted text from patch notes; paraphrase if needed.
  • bluenote - Quote from a forum thread, usually for hotfixes.
  • comment - Additional info (such as the previous effect of a redesigned ability) or italicized developer comments.
  • bluecomment - Blue version of comment. Used for when a blue post includes developer comments.
  • classic - Shows File:WoW Icon update.png as the expansion icon. Simply include "|classic=".
  • doc - Skips invoking Template:HotfixBlog; used for hotfixes that weren't noted in an official hotfix blog. Include "|doc=".

Troubleshooting

If you were directed here by an error message, the template was unable to use the date you provided to find an official hotfix blog (one of these: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/23164374/). Reasons for this may include...

  • The input date isn't formatted as yyyy-mm-dd.
  • The date doesn't match the one on the blog.
  • The date is in April–June 2015 or March–May 2016. See Template:HotfixBlog for details.
  • The date is missing from Module:HotfixBlog/data. If your date is correct but isn't present in the data table, you can request it by leaving a link to the relevant blog on the talk page.
OR:
  • The hotfix wasn't documented in a hotfix blog; it may have been documented elsewhere, or not at all. In this case, insert "|doc=" to prevent the template from searching for a blog.
