We made a behavior breaking change to _tmpnam() when the transitioning to the Universal CRT: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2014/06/18/c-runtime-crt-features-fixes-and-breaking-changes-in-visual-studio-14-ctp1/. This change reflects our current behavior.

I am unsure of how you would prefer to refer to a Win32 API MSDN page or if it would be preferable to outline the behavior of GetTempPathW on this page instead. Thoughts?

There's an abbreviated form for referring to articles in other Docs repositories, which I've hopefully used correctly in my tweak. We don't usually include implementation details, so we could conceivably leave out the link and just say "the designated Windows temporary directory," but it doesn't hurt anything and tells users how to find out what that directory is for themselves.
