Blooncyclopedia uses [[Help:Cargo|Cargo]] to manage its update history system. This allows editors to document changes on a page for a game update, such as [[Bloons TD 6 v48.0]], and then use a "query" to list those same changes on other pages that those changes are relevant to, without having to manually copy that documentation onto every page. This also means that if any additions or corrections need to be made, one can simply update the documentation on the update page, and any other pages that query that documentation will automatically update.

==Release dates==
Update infoboxes should use timestamps instead of dates, if possible, to avoid ambiguity when it comes to time zones. Use the following methods to find update timestamps:

If you want to display different text on the update's page (say, [[Bloons TD 6 v48.2]]) than on pages that query it, you can use the <code>changes store</code> parameter. The text in <code>changes</code> is displayed on the update page, while <code>changes store</code> is displayed in queries.
