You have a full doc here :
http://www.wowdev.wiki/index.php?title=WDT
http://www.wowdev.wiki/index.php?title=WDL
The basic idea is that both files have a totally different role.
- Wdl represents the low res mountains you can see far away when you're walking on a map ingame.
- Wdt helps the game to know if there's an adt at a particular place or not. If adt/wdt don't correspond, you're sure to get the client to crash.
Patches add new (or modify) content to what's already here in pre-existing mpq, so that's why you don't have all kinds of files in every patch.

And WDTs are also can hold WMO positions and NO ADTs for WMO only Maps. Like raids or inis without any ground.

So describe what you did exactly.
Did you:
1. Create the paths inside the MPQ
2. Put the MPQ inside the DATA subfolder of WoW
3. You changed some existing ADT form WoW like Azeroth or Kalimdor ?

The name patch-4.MPQ is ok.
If you write MPQ not mpq. Must be upper case.
How did you creat the patch.
I creat a folder on HD called patch. Then creat the subfolders there
World/maps/mapname
Put all my files in and use the MPQEdit pack to folder function.
