Let's say you found the game's page here on the wiki and it already has some information that you don't feel needs updating, but you'd like to mention that it plays better/worse on your computer. For this kind of information, find (or add) your platform and append '''Template:TestingEntry''' right before '''<nowiki>{{TestingFooter}}</nowiki>'''. It will look like this:

Please don't write your life story in the comments section of the test entry. It is for the essential information only, you can mention bugs and used speedhacks there but if your comments section looks like a preface to a novel it may be better to move bugs mentions into [[Template:Issue|''Issues'' sections]] outside. It's just a suggestion and writing a wall of text is not a crime but it doesn't look that good in a table column and may not be appealing for others to read.
