Talk:Release Notes

RFC: This can be a really helpful page, but since only the devs can release the official "release notes", just copy/pasting them into this page won't be very useful on its own. I would recommend changing the name of the page to "Changelog" and linking to the official release notes in the introduction. Whenever a new update comes out, the process would be:

1. Formatting: Copy/paste the release notes from https://noitagame.com/release_notes/, format the headings accordingly, and put the changes into unordered bulleted lists. Add wikilinks to separate pages/subpages for each new feature. Link to the blog post, individual release notes page, update video, etc. If there's any accompanying text with the release (such as: "Noita 1.0 is officially out now!") put it before the list of changes in a blockquote. This step will establish a baseline level of detail for the page and scaffold future annotations.

2. Annotating: Add a section called to the changeset along the lines of "secrets" or "unmentioned changes", for features found by the community that aren't mentioned in the official release notes. Underneath individual bullets for changes, nested bullets can fill in missing details (e.g. "Rebalanced the starting level" can be annotated with "Spiders in the mines can now be killed with a single spark bolt instead of two") or spoil cryptic changes (e.g. "Added a new challenge underground" can be annotated with "Added the Wizard's den to the right of the Temple of the Art"). If editors feel like it, add a short paragraph introducing a changeset that describes the major changes in that release. This step will allow the wiki community to keep track of the most interesting, high-level changes in a release. Astrosticks (talk) 17:49, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
