This template renders a simple Previous / Current / Next navigator for patch notes and stores Semantic MediaWiki properties on the current page.

Usage

{{PatchNav|Prev=SpiritVale Playtest 0.3.4|publishdate=2026-02-24|blurb=Short summary of the patch|Next=SpiritVale Playtest 0.4.0}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`Prev`	Previous patch title (page title without namespace). Alias: `PrevTitle`.
`publishdate`	Date string displayed in the center; also stored as Semantic property `Publish date` as `Y-m-d`.
`blurb`	Optional short summary; stored as Semantic property `Patch blurb` (not displayed yet).
`Next`	Next patch title (page title without namespace). Alias: `NextTitle`.

Semantic MediaWiki behavior

The center column (Template:PatchNav/Current) stores:
- Publish date (normalized to Y-m-d via #time)
- Patch blurb (if provided)
The left/right columns (Template:PatchNav/Prev / Template:PatchNav/Next) read the target page’s Publish date using #show.
Prev/Next links assume the target pages live in the Update: namespace (for example Update:SpiritVale Playtest 0.3.4).

Styling

PatchNav uses the sitewide SV primitives from Common.css:

sv-card for the container

A helper class (sv-pnav__grid) is included so Mobile.css can later stack the three columns if desired.

TemplateData

Simple prev/current/next navigator. Accepts publishdate/blurb; publishdate is displayed and stored as SMW Publish date; blurb is stored for later use.

publishdate	`publishdate`	no description	String	optional
