@Andycro Hi ... I was contacted in-game by Paul Tyndale who told me that a few players have been trying to recover their wiki accounts for a while now and can't get a response. One has said he's been waiting for months. Can you do something about it?

You've wrote to me that I use a party template although it isn't a party.

Hi Andycro, bit of a request - I'd like to be able to use a bio template for [[The Real Spamicans]] page (https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Template:The_Real_Spamicans/personalities/1) but as I understand it I need an engineer to activate the template for me. It would just be the user image and a couple of lines about how they helped the party (like this = https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/The_Real_Spamicans/personalities/2)
Is there a lodge template? Or how can I do it? ;)

:{{Reply to|Mr Woldy}} Can you make what you would like in [[User:Mr_Woldy/Sandbox|your Sandbox]]? That would be the best to see what you really want, I can tweak it a bit and implement it to Template namespace. Alternatively, make a picture and I can do it at some point. :P My guess is you would maybe like to create a Portal page for the party? You can use some other portals as inspiration, f.x.

I have some doubts about the language policy of the wiki. I understand that the main language is English and every page must have an English version. But when it comes to very local subjects (such as a political party of a certain country) there is a lot of material that could be added but it could take a really long time to translate it (and no one from outside that country would read it anyway).
+
==List of governments of countries==
 +
Some of the Government of the Countries Wiki pages are far too big for a single page (e.g. List of governments of Austria, List of governments of Belgium, List of governments of Croatia etc...)
  
So my question is, would it be acceptable to have a small summary as the English page and then a more complete version in the local language? Or must they be a exact translation?
+
Propose creating subpages (few already have Subpages created). I would like to use same/similar design for all countries.
  
Thanks [[User:Eclank|Eclank]] ([[User talk:Eclank|talk]]) 10:47, 21 February 2016 (PST)
+
List of governments of Belgium Main Page uses Template:Governments of Belgium by month to point to Sub pages. I personally dislike this as it will create thousands of pages that will only have few lines of text inside. I prefer Yearly Sub pages (something like in Congress election results).
:Dear eclank, it is enough to have a small summary. Usually 3 paragraphs of summary are enough, we understand that exact translation of party, newspaper and citizen articles are hard. Only [[:Category:Playing the Game|article in this category]] should be translated as they are in the English version. Hope the answer was helpful. :) --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

== Party page <-> wiki hotlinking ==
+
Croatia already uses yearly Template for Subpages, but no subpages were created... all the info is still on the main page. However, template in question, Template:Croatian politics uses all three types of government in same template. No other countries do that. So implementing this template would be a huge amount of work.
Hi there Andy. I was writing my party's wiki page and noticed it didn't get hotlinked in my party's little book. I did the same before to my profile and it worked. Is there some extra step I must do? I've searched but didn't find anything explaining the process. Here's my party page [[P.E.I.D.A.]]. Thanks. Sorry about the noob question. {{Unsigned|Jules deMalt|16:48, 27 February 2016 (PST)}}

Another alternative is to simply use a link to point to a subpage, as in Congress pages. This would be my preferred option (no templates, initially less work, create links as you go... no unnecessary red links pointing to pages that will never be created.) --[[User:Sre8renica|Sre8renica]] ([[User talk:Sre8renica|talk]]) 03:51, 15 August 2023 (PDT)

: {{Reply to|Sre8renica}} Croatia is unique because it was part of the politics overview back in the day that had sense; I would like to keep some of the templates unique; at least the ones that are being worked on.

eUk Portal Updates

Hi Andycro! Me again.

You have probably noticed a lot of work going on with the eUK pages, I was wondering if it was possible to update some of the portal names on the eUk Portal? (https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Portal:United_Kingdom)

Specifically for the Local news to become 'Top Tips', selected article to be 'From the Archives...' and World news to be 'Calendar Events'. I can update the content if the names can be changed, and it will help me put content there which shouldn't need regularly updating.

I also would appreciate any advice on how to fix the height of the bio box to fit user avatars :D
