I guess you are a newbie. Patches doesn't apply normally because that:
1. It is outdated, nobody has update it. You are welcome to update it.
2. You had applied another patch beforehand that overlap the patches.
To overcome these problem, try:
1. `git apply patch -3v`
2. Edit the file and find `======`, fix those lines, eg.
- Remove <<<<< and >>>>>, just fix it.
3. `git add those files`
4. That patch is updated and you are welcome to add it to the wiki.
Good luck and have a nice day!
