Template talk:Country

Minor changes

Before I change I want to see if it's ok with the one that created this, idea:

• Bold the "General rank" "Current president" etc.
• Change "Largest political party" with "Political party" under "Current president" to show what party he/she is from
• Add Language?

--Aryamehr 16:16, 20 June 2008 (BST)

Well, i am against the first bit, but the other i am fine with. --Hagnat2 17:20, 20 June 2008 (BST)

I think having fields like population, number of soliders etc is pointless because this numbers change every day. --Kami 18:02, 20 June 2008 (BST)

Why agains the first bit Hagnat2? It will be easier to read when left side is bolded and the right side is normal. Some stuff are pointless, yes Kami. I think we need to keep it clean and simple with not so much information. --Aryamehr 19:22, 20 June 2008 (BST)

Keep it simple...

Do we need "territories"? What will be in there? I am not sure about conqured nations as well because it can be written in the page instead..? What do you think Hagnat2? --Aryamehr 14:02, 26 June 2008 (BST)

Territories is the number of territories the country hold. Brazil, for example, has 5 territories, and that is the info displayed in this field. Conquered countries is indeed an info that can be written in the country article, but this will make it easy to find this information, since most countries have a different layout than the others, which difficults the task of finding this information. --hagnat 14:23, 26 June 2008 (BST)

Sounds good! ;) --Aryamehr 14:36, 26 June 2008 (BST

Hey, Hagnat2. I hope you don't mind when I did these changes? --Aryamehr 22:36, 27 June 2008 (BST)

Not a problem. Be bold! This is a wiki afterall. --hagnat 04:42, 29 June 2008 (BST)

Now that i saw the edit you make... yeah, i didnt liked it... the point on not adding a background color for the header of each section is to draw attention to the info that section has, not the header itself (which tells you nothing). --hagnat 04:45, 29 June 2008 (BST)

Economics

I think inflation should be added to it. What do you think? --Belea2008 chew the fat 03:44, 13 July 2008 (BST)

+1 --Aryamehr talk 16:23, 13 July 2008 (BST)

-1, because it would have to be changed very, very often. Especially for Germany, Turkey, and Greece.

I'll change this to +1 if you're willing to adjust it, though. --AgentChieftain T / H / E 22:22, 26 July 2008 (BST).

Date at the bottom

Proposal to put "Information last edited at -date-" or something similiar. --Aryamehr talk 22:19, 26 July 2008 (BST)

Let's get modern

... and use a new template like Template:Infobox_Country.
Make sure to see the talk page also with information! --Aryamehr talk 20:36, 21 September 2008 (BST)

For those who vote 0

• Modern, easier, cleaner look
  • Modern? --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 21:15, 21 September 2008 (BST)
  • Easier? --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 21:15, 21 September 2008 (BST)
• Nice heigh of images, coat of arms etc.
  • What do you mean by nice ? --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 21:15, 21 September 2008 (BST)
• Easy to add new options, such as "Most populated city" you added I think. It will be hard to make that fit in the old template.
  • Not true, the code for the old template is much easier --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 21:15, 21 September 2008 (BST)
• Something new to look at! It's important to change stuff and not get bored of it.
  • oO??? --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 21:15, 21 September 2008 (BST)

So I guess you want to stick to the same old boring silly sausage until you die and never change anything.

It's not that, it's that the new template's code seems much harder to mantain and understand --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 21:19, 21 September 2008 (BST)

So, if you can add those things. Can you add so I can see then? --Aryamehr talk 21:17, 21 September 2008 (BST)

Of course --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 21:19, 21 September 2008 (BST)

Voting

Vote on a template change, after the one above has been finished and ready.

• +1 --Aryamehr talk 20:36, 21 September 2008 (BST)
• +1 - an Usage on the New template would be nice. :D --Belea2008 20:48, 21 September 2008 (BST)
• -1 what are you trying to achieve with the new template that can't be achieved with the old one? --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 20:55, 21 September 2008 (BST)
• -1 The only difference between this template and the old one seems to be adding a motto and an anthem. Most countries do not have them, so why bother? I don't see any advantage in changing the template for such minor tweaks. Also I have put the old country template on so many country pages so that the name creates a link, I sure as hell am not doing that again. --QJ Lincoln 13:22, 22 September 2008 (BST)
• -1 Too complicated for something that adds trivial information. - –Dr. AgentChieftain ^“PPP!” _{B / C / D / F / P / S} 17:09, 22 September 2008 (BST)

Uh, actually nevermind this. I will use it for Iran page only if bothered, because we are special. --Aryamehr talk 14:50, 22 September 2008 (BST)

Yes, Aryamehr, you and Iran are special--QJ Lincoln 19:23, 22 September 2008 (BST)

I know, thanks QJ Lincoln! --Aryamehr talk 19:59, 22 September 2008 (BST)

Linkback not working :(

What's the problem? The problem is that countries in V1 can't be linked by their number, only by their name! Any idea on how to solve??? --Mini "Template boy" Bill call me! 09:55, 17 October 2008 (PDT)

Economics - Minimum/Average Wage

As it currently stands, the UK box says the wages are 1 United Kingdom, whereas it should be 1 GBP (with or without the country flag). Is there a method of changing the local currency denomination in this template so that it matches the abbreviation and not the country name?

general rank

What is the general rank number based on? I don't see any "general rank" in the game. Joe Alpha 18:28, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm just asking...

Where may i translate the template? (McKayRO 14:20, 1 August 2010 (UTC))

Updating the template (March 2016)

Features removed from the game to be removed from this template:

• gdp
• inflation
• unemployment rate
• monthly exports
• monthly imports
• soldiers
• average strength

To be added:

• dictator? (+ his MU?)
• country power?
• alliance?
• political titles (vCP, MoD, MoFA, MoE/MoF, MoEd)?
• defence shield dmg left?

These are just some ideas, if I've missed something or added too much, speak up! -- Bogi | Talk 11:56, 23 March 2016 (PDT)

Implemented --DanielDimow|☪|Speak to me. 18:04, 23 March 2016 (PDT)

Seems fine. I have made a few more changes:

• changed average experience to average level and moved it to demographics section
• moved capital to general section
• moved website to communication
• used {{abbr}} to shorten political titles, as they take too much space
• food and weapon bonus in addition to house bonus can now be updated manually, as bot that was updating that info doesn't work anymore
• removed capital letters where they weren't needed
• removed conquered countries as it's kind of pointless – maybe we could add conquered regions, core regions, total regions here, or just leave it be
• mobed alliance to general
• added national forum and teamspeak to communication
• made documentation subpage
