Welcome to the eRepublik Bar

 Remember to sign (~~~~) your comments! 

Speech balloon.png What is the bar?

The Bar is a place in which editors can exchange their ideas, or drink a beer.

After introducing yourself at the Community Portal, you can learn what changes need to be made, see what projects are going underway and take part in many active discussions. You are welcome to start a new discussion, but keep in mind that all articles have their own talk pages, and please remember to sign your comments!

In summary, how we treat each other does matter. It matters because, without empathy, our lives are shallow, self-centered and meaningless.

Stock post message.png To-Do list

We need editors and translators!
If you are new and don't have any experience with wiki at all - ask for help in the Bar!
Dear editors and translators, we need you to:





Legend rank

Since Legend rank has customised title (for example Legends of Serbia: SerbianLegenda Batallion 1, Legends of Cyprus: Mithrantir Batallion 1, etc.), but uses the same icon for all, would it be possible to add it to {{Citizen}} to add just Legend in "rank" field, and "legend title" field below, where we can write a customised title?

For example:
|rank=Legend
|legend title=Legends of Serbia: SerbianLegenda Batallion 1

And as a result get Icon rank Legends.png Legends of Serbia: SerbianLegenda Batallion 1. --Icon-Montenegro.png Bogi | Talk 08:59, 30 December 2014 (PST)

+1 Good idea. --Icon-Albania.pngIcon-Montenegro.png Ammar M. Tivari Talk page! 03:31, 31 December 2014 (PST)
Bogi, but we will do it next year, ok? :D --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 05:30, 31 December 2014 (PST)
Andy, it's the next year already :P --Icon-Montenegro.png Bogi | Talk 09:08, 3 February 2015 (PST)
Well, it will be this year... Where is the rush? I will try to develop some kind of a switch to the {{Rank}} so it could work without adding additional field, but will see. :D --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 13:36, 3 February 2015 (PST)

If I follow the example, the best that I can give you without fucking the whole code is:

Rank: Icon rank Legends.png Legend
Rank title: Legends of Serbia: SerbianLegenda Batallion 1

Would this work? --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 04:15, 24 March 2015 (PDT)

I think it's ok. --Icon-Montenegro.png Bogi | Talk 07:38, 24 March 2015 (PDT)
OK, will do some testing and implement it in next few couple of weeks. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 05:58, 6 April 2015 (PDT)

Clean-up update

Category:Articles_with_warning has received almost 100 new requests to be removed by yours trully. This is due to the second batch of clean-up of the articles in one of the cleaning subcategories of Category:Wiki Management, or simply in one the Clean-up reports. That means that I have reviewed almost 1000 articles in last 7 days.

I have been extremly careful, so pages that should be updated (Presidents or other important people got {{Stub}} template instead of warning) or even people that are still alive didn't get on this list. On this list are articles that are stub for months (read years), or citizen articles where person is dead, and page is lonely (and stub). PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO CHECK THE ARTICLES, AND IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE IT SO IT SHOULD BE ON THIS WIKI, JUST UPDATE IT. If nobody will update any of the articles, they will be deleted at the end of the month, which is more than enough time if anybody wants to tackle with them. Thank you for reading this notice. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 05:58, 6 April 2015 (PDT)

Proposal to wake up wiki editors

Although I am really enjoying that recent changes is usually empty, so I can update all of the stuff are needed to be updated, I have a suggestion that would like to hear the community what do they think... What would you say if an editor could win a jackpot things as they can usually in the Power spin? I mean, the spinning is randomly generated, and eRepublik bosses give away this anyway, so why not organize something similar here? Would be nice to hear what does community think about it, as would be a nice think to motivate people to edit. There can be some conditions how to get a chance to win it, like sysops have to give you some "editing credit" if the editor edits something from importance, or top 7 people would get it, or something else. Thank you for your feedback. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 05:58, 6 April 2015 (PDT)

Feel free to ask our Mesther buddy about it, assuming he may care about this wiki.

Image policy addition

As you already know, last year we adopted an awesome Image policy which set some important naming rules for avatar files, which helps a lot in making some rules about putting pictures on the wiki. But, I would like to propose small adition to it for the part of Category:Game Icons. Icons uploaded are named differently so it is quite a mess there. Especially in the Category:Politics Icons, where you have 3 different naming types, then followed by Category:Missions where there are 4 different types of naming, of course Category:Decoration Icons are even worse as I don't know is there any naming type here. Category:Building Icons started to follow some naming rule, but then the rule just dissapeared and of course Category:Achievements has the same problem with naming... And this is just which I noticed and what is actually in categories, because stuff that are not in the categories are usually 456f645ffdg4ad65g4a45d4f45a6s6.jpg

So this is the problem, now what is the solution... Simple, making a rule easy to follow, and I have three of them, but if you have any, feel free to write it down

  1. Icon - What is it - Name of the Icon (Example: Icon position party member.gif, Icon rank World Class Force*.png; most of the old files are categorized like that)
  2. Icon - Name of the Icon (Example: Icon - Aluminum.png; Buildings and Resources are done like that)
  3. Name of the Icon (Example: Employee.gif - only really new images are done like that.)

For the missions, I think that adding number (if applicable) after the name would be useful if there are more than one part of the same named mission. And also think about should all letters be upper cases or lower (except first one which has to be upper) cases. Please vote by writing the number of rule solution which you like and letter option (Examples: 1-upper; 2-lower, 3-I don't care. You can vote for all of the options, as I would really like to hear your opinions. Voting templates can be found here. Thank you for your time. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 12:05, 7 April 2015 (PDT)

+1 1-lower. --Icon-Montenegro.png Bogi | Talk 13:47, 7 April 2015 (PDT)

War pages and maps naming rules

I just made page Bulgaria–Peru War, but then it occurred to me that there might be more wars of Bulgaria and Peru in the future. So in order to avoid future article renamings, my proposal is to name wars like this: AttackerDefender War (Month Year). For example Bulgaria–Peru War (February 2015). Or if it's bigger war, (Alliance) invasion of Country/Region (Month Year) (Asteria invasion of Chile (February 2015). For world wars it's obviously not necessary.

Also, use N-dash – or maybe even M-dash — instead of hyphen -.

As for war maps, should be named: File:Map-War name.png and put into Category:War Maps. --Icon-Montenegro.png Bogi | Talk 14:10, 10 April 2015 (PDT)

Several keyboard layouts only can easily let people type hyphen instead of other dashes that should be retrieved someway; there's no point in using something difficult for the majority of editors.
About the whole naming policy proposal for wars, it may be a good idea instead of using ordinal numbers that may result pointless since there may be countless wars; time reference is way useful than the order of wars; anyway, I'd use a shorter notation for time (e.g. Feb 2015, Feb 15 or even 02-15) and maybe for countries too according to this table.

Region resource update

Is it possible that we get an update for the region resources with a bot, or smth, as most of them are fucked up now and updating more than 500 regions manually could be pain in the ass? --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 12:56, 11 April 2015 (PDT)

Ask Gucio.

Templates "Ban" and "Dead"

Can we have an empty line added after these templates as they upset text below. There used to be empty line below but it was removed. Now I have to add silly thing manually ((-)).--Sre8renica (talk) 07:15, 15 April 2015 (PDT)
