This page describes for to import [[Civcraft]] and [[Civcraft 2.0|Civcraft2]] articles into the main namespace, as part of [[CivWiki:Editing Projects#Civcraft wiki importing|a long term editing project]].
The original Civcraft wiki was imported to CivWiki under the [https://civwiki.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=&namespace=3002 CivcraftImport] and [https://civwiki.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=&namespace=3004 Civcraft2Import] namespaces. The original Civcraft wiki used a different software and format than CivWiki, so these articles will need to be cleaned up before being moved into the main namespace. The eventual goal is to move all of these articles into the main namespace.
== Importing ==
Using the source editor to import Civcraft articles will likely be much easier than the visual editor, as there are significant syntax differences.
===
Check if the Civcraft article already has an article about it on the main namespace. If it does, the content from the Civcraft article may be able to be moved to a "Civcraft" section of that article.
=== Renaming ===
Civcraft articles used many slashes to name articles based on categorizations. This should not be done on CivWiki, so while the constitution of Chanada's city of Viridian was named CivcraftImport:Chanada/Viridian/Constitution on the Civcraft wiki, it should be named Constitution of Viridian on CivWiki, or Constitution of Viridian (Chanada city) if just Viridian is ambiguous.
=== Step 1: Headers ===▼
*
▲* '''Never''' use the highest header tag <code><nowiki>= Top Header =</nowiki></code> for a page. Typically those are only used for page headers, and should never be used.
The Civcraft wiki used different infoboxes from CivWiki. CivWiki most likely has a relevant infobox that should be used instead. For instance:
* [[Template:Infobox civilization]] for nations
▲=== Step 2: Infoboxes & Images ===
* [[Template:Infobox military conflict]] for wars, conflicts, etc
* [[Template:Infobox treaty]] for treaties
* [[Template:CoordCivcraft2]] or [[Template:CoordCivcraft3]] for coordinates, depending on the iteration
Religions do not have a template on civwiki yet. One could be created if there is demand for it.
=== Images ===
Some Civcraft articles reference external articles. These should be uploaded to the wiki via [[Special:Upload]] and then linked to.
The [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1a9xsULy1Obr1tj7SXNxaqypaZZyYASTC archives upload] may have some missing images that you can upload.
=== Step 3: Links & References ===▼
Most pages will have links. All of them will be broken.
As a
For more complicated links like <code><nowiki>[[groups/nations/chanada/viridian/constitution]]</nowiki></code>, first, check if the page has already been created and change it to the already existing page. If not, then rename the page after CivcraftImport: to whatever makes sense, and change the name on the resultant page to what you made.
Line 48 ⟶ 53:
<code><nowiki>Something that the wiki said. <ref> https://linkgoeshere.com </ref></nowiki></code>
Once you've done all of this, add this at the very bottom of the page
<code><nowiki>
== References == (newline here)
<references />▼
▲<references>
</nowiki></code>
