It works ok, so if you want you can go through all the patch pages and replace this:

{|border=3 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 align=right
!bgcolor=lightgray| [[Patches | All Patches]]
|-
|}

with this:

{|border=0 cellpadding=3 align=right
|
{|border=3 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0
!bgcolor=lightgray| [[Patches | All Patches]]
|-
|}
|
{|border=3 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0
!bgcolor=lightgray| [[Current Patch]]
|-
|}
|
{|border=3 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0
!bgcolor=lightgray| [[Previous Patch]]
|-
|}
|}

It will be the same for all patch pages, all we'd need to change now is update Previous Patch and Current Patch when a new patch comes out (actually this will also let us do that on the main page as well for the links in Topics.

If you don't have time, I can add them as I add the splash screens (in the middle of that, but slow).--Tlosk 15:10, 13 August 2008 (CDT)

It would be technically difficult, because links would have to be updated for all 100 patch pages each time a new patch came out, which isn't realistic. Though it might perhaps be possible using a double redirect, I'll try it. --Tlosk 14:59, 13 August 2008 (CDT)

Just a suggestion.. would it be a good idea to have a link to the previous and next patch on each patch page? if that makes sense... For instance on a patch page, for instance Dark Thaw.. it will say: Previous patch: Sudden Season. Next patch Shadows of the Past.

If anyone is looking for something easy to do that will help the Wiki a lot, we need the dev notes/teasers/rollout articles/etc for Sudden Season (Dec 99) to Evolution (Jun 07).

Articles from July 03 to now are still on Turbine's site at: http://ac.turbine.com/?page_id=40

Many of the Zone pages from 1999-2003 are available at: Category:Turbine

Older patch pages are only available on fan sites. While Maggies and ACvault have said we cannot directly copy their work, we can at least compare the two to see if they contain the exact same text. The Renegade Guild also has many old notes, along with the now dead fan-site AC Stratics. And I don't think there is anyone at Stratics that will complain if their notes were copied (hint hint). Since all these fan sites originally copied their notes from the offical Asheron's Call site, all the text/information should be the same.
