CivWiki:Editing Guide

If you are unsure how to format, as pages are completed some will be marked with model article. Verda is an example of good formatting. Press edit and copy and paste the infobox. Use the 'Upload file' link in left toolbar to for media content. 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

To create a page, search, then click the red text showing the page does not exist.

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:
For Location, Make coords a link to a CCMap view -5000,6935
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]]

Create message box at top of page: Used for dead nations

{{Ambox
| text  = <div>
This Nation is flagged as inactive.
</div>
}}

Add page to ctagory
