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
  • 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.
