Contributing to this wiki is by no means a requirement to use the site. However, if you have information that you would like to share with other players, follow the steps below.
Submitting New Information
Editing a Page
Have additional information for an existing page? Follow these steps:
Regular Editor
Visual Editor
Currently there is not visual editor but we are trying to figure out how to get it to work on this version of the site. If we are able to get it to work, it will be easier for people not familiar with MediaWiki markup language to submit information.
Creating a Page
Want to make a page that you can't find elsewhere on the site? Follow these steps:
- Use the search bar in the top left and search what you want to create.
- If there is already a page for that topic, follow Editing a Page. If there isn't a page, select the link in "Create the Page: 'x' on this wiki!"
Content
Implementing Images
Want to upload an image? There are two different ways you can do this:
Link Method (Preferred):
- All you have to do is paste the Image URL. To get this on Google Chrome, right-click the image and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the URL at the top.
Upload Method
- Upload the image via the Upload page.
- Take note of the title of the page. (For example, File: Image.png).
- Insert the title in between double brackets.
- [[File: Image.png]].
- Optional: Add modifiers after [[File: Image.png]]. Complete syntax guide.
- [[File: Image.png]].
Flag Next to Link
Having the flag next to a country name can make it easier to navigate your page. To do this, reference the FlagLink template using:
{{FlagLink|link = ''link''}}
{{FlagLink|link = United States}} looks like United States
Infoboxes
Infoboxes are the tables of information on the right of most pages. For this wiki, they typically have some of the most important information about a country, language, content creator, etc. They can be hard to create. To make things easier for the editor, templates are used for almost all Infoboxes. Listed below are some Infobox templates that you can use for the page you want to create. All you have to do is copy and paste the necessary box, then ad any of the optional parameters you see fit. Finally, make the parameters equal to your specifications.
Standard Infobox Template
Country Infobox Template
This is the Infobox that should be used on Country pages.

{{CountryIB | title = | country = | region = | language = | ws = | side = | wikipedia = | capital = | domain = | phone = | generation = | ter = | eu = | br = }}
To find out what each parameter does, go to the Template:CountryIB page.
