If you are unsure how to format, as pages are completed some will be marked with model article. Verda shows a rough example of a good article. Ensure images and files are saved with keywords in name. I.e. Flags contain NationName and Flag. They can then be easily searched: All uploaded files

Create a standard format

  • Info boxes need to have clear template: If one nation has demonym as first item, one nation has coords as first item and one nation has leader as first item, it is much more difficult to find the information you are looking for.
  • Additionally use headers to divide up long lists of items
  • What items should be included in infobox? The most common I have seen (In no order) Population:Location:System of Government:Date Founded: Demonym:Leader:Cities:Allies:Language:Religion:Activity:
  • Like any real Wikipedia page create a summary and table of contents before the meat of your page.

Higher standards

  • More objectivity: Talk about the great accomplishments of your nation, but don't lie.
  • No first person etc. Make an effort to seem somewhat more like an official Wikipedia page.
  • Keep things categorized! https://civclassic.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Categories When more work is completed some articles can be categorized as high quality.
  • Less stubs: If the page is a sentence or two try to include it in the most similar existing page.
  • More pictures: Feel free to make galleries to include any excess renders. A wall of text (Such as this one) does not make for an interesting read.

Focus

  • Nations are always a priority over people and events.

Tips

  • Create a page with acronym name to redirect (I.e. Page name is TdC):
 #REDIRECT [[Tierra de Conciencia]]
