Some of our infobox templates have had some of their parameter names changed. This won't make much of a difference to editors who only use visual editor, but if you're ever using source editor, please read this before making adding infoboxes to articles or changing existing ones. However, I would still really appreciate if all editors could read this first, regardless of which editing mode they use, as parameter names are visible on both.
Basic hack infobox[]
- Image has been renamed to image (basically, it no longer needs a capital letter at the beginning)
- caption-Image has become caption-image (again, no capital letters needed)
- date_created has been renamed to created
- alt_download_link has been renamed to 2nd_download_link
- third_link has been renamed to 3rd_download_link
- number_of_stars has been renamed to just stars
- number_of_levels has been renamed to just levels
- number_of_secret_levels has been renamed to secret_levels
Here's how these changes to this template look in practice.

Infobox location[]
Most of these are removal of capital letters, so that you don't need to worry about capitalising the names of all the parameters.
- Hack has been renamed to hack
- Required has been renamed to required
- Stars has been renamed to stars
- Boss has been renamed to boss
- Music has been renamed to music
- Before has been renamed to before
- After has been renamed to after
- Location has been renamed to location
- Caption has been renamed to caption
- Level Title has been renamed to just title
- levels has been renamed to acts
- I wasn't sure about this one and I understand if people may not like levels being renamed to acts, but the term "levels" has always been used on this wiki to mean a course, secret course, or act/mission, which is pretty confusing imo. So I've changed it to acts to make the difference clearer, as missions and Acts aren't even supposed to be called levels anyway.

All of the articles using these infoboxes have already been updated to use the new parameter names, so don't worry about any broken params resulting from this change. I've also updated the example usage on each template's page to reflect these changes, although they also weren't correct to begin with anyway.
I hope these changes make these infoboxes less annoying to use. Thank you to everyone who bothered reading these, I appreciate it <3 If you have any feedback on these changes, whether good or bad, please gimme! It was a lot of work to make these changes, but it's nothing that can't be undone- so let me know if you dislike these changes.
