Re: Article help

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Wiki formatting isn't too complicated to learn and it's worth taking the time to understand the templates commonly used on IIwiki. The most helpful thing to know is that the overwhelming majority of articles on IIwiki use pre-established templates, called infoboxes, that you can use. Infoboxes only require that you insert information into a number of fields for it to display the info in a nicely presented way. Very often, they will be explained by a Documentation section on their respective Template pages. I invite you to look at Template:Infobox country (the one you want to use) and to expand the section "Country or territory". If you copy that into a new article (presumably Ruoku Huru - press 'create this page'), you can then substitute each <!-- Instructions on how to use each field --> as appropriate.

Of course, I'm sure you'll notice that most of those fields are unnecessary, or redundant, for your needs. This is why I recommend looking at how other users have filled out infoboxes, or looking at comparable articles on Wikipedia. For example, see how the article on Vyvland uses this infobox template. Bear in mind that, while templates and formatting are generally fair game, the use of other people's content (such as stats and the like) is prohibited by site policy.

I hope this is of help! If you should have further questions, please feel free to ask on my talk page. ~ Mal do the talking thing 21:51, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
