This template defines the content of the "Game updates" pane of the main page.

This content automatically updates itself when new release data is added. A brief summary of the most recent 3 releases are shown.

Release data is added by the following steps:

Update Template:Release_list:
- Increment the number in the first field (e.g. change "35" to "36")
- Add the release number of the new version as a new field at the end of the list (e.g. add "| 3.3")
Add the event data for the new release (e.g. add the page Template:Release data: 3.3. This can be done by copying the contents of an existing release data page and modifying it for the new release. Documentation for Release data pages can be found here: Tempate:Release data
