Should this be added as Undocumented?

The VS Saxton Hale Mode wasn't really "featured" in the patchnotes other than the maps with the "VSH" prefix being there. Should there be a "Added VS Saxton Hale mode", or "New gamemode: VS Saxton Hale" on the undocumented changes?

I think we treat it similar to the Domination CP mode, it's not officially ever added as a gamemode.

I guess time will tell if the game mode comes back to Casual Mode or not. If it does, then I would consider as an "official" gamemode. Headphones style when? - User Gabrielwoj Signature 1.pngUser Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png 15:08, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
It is an official gamemode, I more meant that the gamemode wasn't specifically announced. It's fine to add it as an undocumented change though.

Alright, I put on the undocumented change as "Added VS Saxton Hale game mode". Not sure if it should be written as "community-created game mode", perhaps? About Domination Control Point, I don't think in that case it requires a "new game mode" on the patch notes for the patch that added that map, considering it's almost the same thing as Control Points.

I think the best course of action would be to highlight that these maps have a different gamemode rather than stating that the mode itself was added (as far as I understand, VSH is a plugin that mappers have to download from a third party and add to their maps - one can't simply "enable it" like any of the regular ones). — Tark 16:59, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
That's a good point, although, considering there's now a "vsh_" prefix in the game, most players will think this is a new game mode entirely. There's more players in the game than mappers, so I think it all comes to "what is easier to understand for most of the player base", so I think we should settle a balance in regards to this. There's actually several things from the inclusion of VSH alone that I'm wondering several things about the Wiki, which I'll be posting on the Main Discussion eventually.
