[General] Which is the best place to write changelog, patchlog, and credit?

[Weigazod]

I got at least 4 systems in the map which have at least 1 author each. It doesn't have any custom models, while the custom icons are self-made.

My custom map is a modified version of an existing series so giving credit where it dues is also important.

Also because it is a modified version beside the patchlog (telling the change between each patch), I also need to tell them the change in comparison to the original.

Thus, a lot of thing to write about.

People told me to put it in the quest back in 2011-2014 but that place is completely unreadable. It's designed for some short and low-content writing not for something as sophisticated as patchlog or changelog or credit.

What other place in a map is better for these thing that allows players to see them without having to open the map by World Editor?

Game patch version I am using Warcraft 1.30.4

It’s not what I asked but thank you for the reply.

Technically, I did the same thing before but people said I need credit within the map itself. If it’s just for a medium like credit on the hosting site, I have already had the experience.

Failing i'd warrant downloading the highest rated map on the hive and see how they did it.

Unless that map is compatible to 1.30.4, else it’s no use for me.

I have seen people place credits on units (for names mostly) and abilities. It should work with items as well or items on a unit. I think thats kinda neat.
