	* ~~All code and asset~~ changes from Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary update ~~have been integrated, including changes to some menus, the classic fire toggle, episode switching functionality (which goes unused), and other minor changes~~.		* Updated Portal with the changes from Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary update.
	** However, this has resulted in numerous bugs, including misplaced or wrongly scaled UI for some users, crashes when loading the final map of the game or picking up Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun (which previously functioned correctly), and various internal issues which break some [[mods]].

VRadExe: Undo revision 189219 by GrampaSwood (talk) I simplified it further to a single bullet point but I'm not going to let it be removed completely. There are reasons WHY the update got reverted which are completely lost by your attempt to make it "valve-like". Things like this need to be documented somewhere or the context will be lost over time. I will repeat that the point of this section is to document things Valve didn't.

GrampaSwood: Undo revision 189217 by Luke18033 (talk) This is a patch notes article, not a bug report article. The patch note is similar to how Valve would write the patch note

VRadExe: I see no reason to intentionally include less information, the whole point of "undocumented changes" sections is to specify things that Valve didn't. I've removed the "not well tested" speculation, but brought the rest of it back

GrampaSwood: Reworded to be shorter and more Valve-like. Removed all the bugs the patch notes are not the place for these, and "this has not been well-tested" just seems like unnecessary speculation/NPOV breaking
