In https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17724 they say I should instead submit a bug that the patch is broken.
But how do I know that is the case. All I know is I read the patch man page and tried some combinations and they all didn't work.
So that's is why I thought adding instructions to the top of the patch might be a good idea.
But they closed the bug because it is supposed to be obvious how to apply the patch.
But I tried all the obvious patch methods that I found documented.
The error message patch gives you explicitly says that you may need to use the -p or --strip option, which is exactly the solution to your problem. I don't see how that's terribly hard to find.
