If you are here to request a template, please feel free to make a post doing so. Also, please share the following information about your nation; It will help us prepare the template for your future use. The main Encyclopædia can be found HERE.
Well, I've finally got the main thread up. Its going to be hard to manage it without some extra help, anyone of the old guard feel up to the task? Edited by Eleytheria-Duo, Apr 18 2009, 09:17 PM.

I like it, I doubt I'd add anything with a date into my own but generally I love the idea. Now You're propose that everyone will have one done for their nation and then they all be mass collected into an archive for easy reference for new players? |

I only added a date to make it "feel" more realistic. Since time is fluid it doesn't really matter. Of course depending on preference you could omit a year and leave a month/day to signify your independence day, or you could omit both and make it ambiguous. As for the question posed, yes. There would be a "Main post" with an alphabetical list of all the nations currently in the database, clicking a name would direct you to the post pertaining to that nation. In such a thread, I see the optimum being each nations' owner make the post for ease of future editing, and any off-topic chatter restricted to this thread, the discussion segment. EDIT: To clarify that previous sentence, the information regarding a Nation would be in the same thread, but the literature for that nation are created by the owner of said nation. It would NOT link you to the nations description threads. It doesn't need to be compiled all at once. Edited by Eleytheria-Duo, Apr 17 2009, 08:38 PM.

As Nag Ehgoeg will be fundamentally and massively different depending on how the Dominion story arc is resolved, I probably shouldn't make a template yet. |

Thanks, guys, will get to those templates ASAP. Also, reading a few of Nags suggestions, I think I am going to bow to his greater wisdom and change a few basics; Rather than having your main description here, it may be best to post the basics, such as your History-in-a-Nutshell, and most importantly, your Nations current status. Leaving more detailed information to the Nations Descriptions thread (as they were originally intended.) It might also give some individuals (like myself) an incentive to update their Nations Descriptions more often, since it'll be far more accessible to public scrutiny and review. In the Inactivity Solutions thread, Nag said he was thinking of posting a link from Introductions to the Encyclopædia and mentioned a link from the Encyclopædia to the Nations Descriptions; Which got me thinking, most people who come to the Encyclopædia will come here to get the basics, and a complete description here would not only be a detriment to the pre-existing foundation that has been established by the powers-that-be, but would also quickly become quite cumbersome, unwieldy, and inflexible. This is, after all, a discussion thread; So by all means, how do you guys feel about this suggestion?
Doesn't matter, NRE. If your uncomfortable using a temporary name, then don't. Use the name of who will succeed him (if it isn't a surprise.) Its not really a big deal since all templates I make are saved to my hard drive for any trivial (but required) future modifications/updates. Also, that doesn't matter, either. Whatever they are comfortable with. They can chose to list every nation if they feel the desire to, or just one at a time. If you want my opinion, I'd recommend you go with your highest priority/activity nations, first. When your satisfied with the updates, bring in your second, third etc. until they're all registered. Like wise men have always said... In life, take one step at a time. If you, or anyone else, have (any|more) questions, feel free to ask. |

Kas, NRE, E; Your templates should be in your Inbox. If any of you are having trouble or didn't receive them, throw me a PM and I'll resend the link. As for everyone else, I strongly encourage you to make your articles soon, if only to throw down your template for future editing. Not sure how Nag wants the Encyclopædia modeled, but do what you will with your own post segments for now. |

Do what you want. Just seems silly to have a pinned thread that's fifty odd pages long. Don't think that I'm gonna be as anal about this as the introductions thread - we can work on a standardised format (if we want a standardised format) once we have some information posted. |

Your requests have been duly noted and queued. The basics will be done today, but the maps are a bit more ... interesting. All of your templates should be finished by tomorrow and in your Inbox by then.
I agree, plus it would pretty much mute the reason for a National Descriptions forum, and I am trying to establish this without stepping on the toes of already long established categories. Also, I wouldn't be particularly adverse to a standardised format. Perhaps to provide a baseline for what is acceptable/preferable and what is unacceptable/undesirable, if for nothing else. I see the value of having a single directory listing all active nations, but I don't have a particular view of how this will fit in with our current layout. Thoughts/Ideas are greatly appreciated, from anyone. |

The template for Lvsitano and one of the two templates for Sedulius are now completed. Check your Inboxes for confirmation. Sorry for the delay. Next batch aims to finish Sedu's request, update (as requested) Porcu's template, and create a template for Toussaint's Yvelinais. Should be done by Friday at the latest but I am aiming for Thursday or sooner. |
