<!-- 

PLEASE READ BEFORE EDITING OR USING THIS AS A TEMPLATE TO MAKE ANOTHER PATCH PAGE:

- Create patch pages for major base patches only, that is, for patch 5.1, but not for subpatches like 5.11, 5.15, or 5.18.  Subpatch specific notes should be included on the main patch page (Subpatch-specific sections may be added if desired), not as their own separate page.  Subpatch pages should redirect to the main patch page, i.e. [[Patch 5.45]] should redirect to [[Patch 5.4].

- Write the main story summary section at the bottom of the page, so players who have not reached that point and do not wish to see spoilers can stop reading when they reach that section.

- If the story summary (Particularly in an x.0 patch) needs to be broken up into chapters/subsections, the subsection titles should be level ranges or other non-spoiler descriptions, so spoilers won't appear in the table of contents.

- In trailers and other promotional materials, the "canonical" Warrior of Light is depicted as a Midlander Hyur male.  Therefore the Warrior of Light should be referred to using the pronouns he/him in the Main Story Summary section.

- For x.0 patches (That is, the patch that starts a new expansion), keep the article about new features introduced specifically with the x.0 patch itself, or any of its subpatches.  Features that are added later in the expansion should not be included.  Use the page for the patch in which the feature was introduced, or the expansion page itself for that.  For example, the Ishgardian Restoration was announced as a Shadowbringers feature, but was introduced in patch 5.1 and should not be mentioned on the patch 5.0 page.

- DO NOT simply copy and paste patch notes, story summaries, or other text directly from Square-Enix's official website.  Please write your own summaries.
