My wiki:About

Page Creating

• When you create a page, don’t just leave it there with almost no content. At least make it decent.
• Make sure I have a drawing of the character of the page you’re making.
• Redirects are not allowed since there’s no way to remove them from the search bar and they look bad on the search bar. Until MediaWiki adds back the feature to exclude redirects or have the search bar be like Wikipedia’s, redirects are forbidden.
  • Common name mistakes:
    • The page for “Soviet Union” is Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
    • The page for “Nazi Germany” is German Third Reich
    • All “abbreviations” (such as NATO) are written in their full name (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) unless the abbreviation is just a collective of words/names that do not make a sentence (such as BRICS and GUAM).

Editing Guide

• When editing, make sure to log on to your account. It makes us easier to identify who you are.
• Each page should have the image drawn by me ( Heterodontosaurus) in their infoboxes.
• There should be the official name, native name (Latin name if there is no native name), and the year they started and ended to exist.
• The infobox should also have predecessor and succeeder (if they have one).
• An introduction is needed, followed by a history section.
• In the introduction, the character’s name should be mentioned and bolded.
• All sections (except for the Gallery section, Notes section and in some cases, the Anthem section) should be before the How to Draw section.
• Put a space between text and icons. It looks better.
• Refrain from using swear words. If you use swear words, censor them. The only case a “swear” is allowed is that if it is part of a name.
• Every mention of a country, ideology or person that is not the page’s subject should have an icon and link.
  • Language links:
    • English - Commonwealth of Nations
    • French - International Organisation of La Francophonie
    • Spanish - Hispanics
    • Portuguese - Community of Portuguese Language Countries
    • Dutch - Dutch Colonial Empire
    • German - German Language Union
    • The rest just links to their respective countries or their closest ethnicities.
    • If, for example, Irish is mentioned on the Ireland page, it should link to another Irish country, like the Irish Free State.
  • For people, link them to their closest ideologies. If you don’t know, link them to their country of origin.

Allowed & Not Allowed Ball Types

A wide variety of balls, like countries, polcomp, companies, and more. I will be going over which balls is allowed here and which not.

Allowed:

• Countryballs - The original, basically what this wiki is based off of.
• Planetballs - Intresting, and close enough to countryballs.
• Polcompballs - Intresting, and close enough to countryballs.
• Companyballs - Less intresting, but still close enough to countryballs.
• Philosophyballs - Intresting, and close enough to polcompballs.
• Ethnicityballs - Intresting, and close enough to countryballs. Only ethnicities without their own country are allowed to have a page of their own.
• LGBTballs, Disorderballs, & other relatedballs - Though I don’t agree with their movement and do not like their agenda at all, they are still intresting and triggers my vexillology brain.
• Geographyballs (mountains, rivers, etc.) - Less intresting, but still close enough to country/planetballs.
• Chromeballs (computer softwareballs) - Intresting, and close enough to companyballs.

Not Allowed:

• VideoGameballs - Diving too deep into other fandoms.
• Languageballs - Feels like a duplicate of countryballs.
