Help:Your first article

Welcome! This page will help guide you, le newcomer, on how to do things on the wiki.

Before creating an article
Before you even think of creating your first article you must first join our Discord Server and interact with the community in our Orientation Channel. Here, you will be able to get your bearings as to what the situation in the world is like, figure out what plots are open, what those plots are like with regards to climate and their neighbors, and ultimately flesh out a proposal for a new nation. There you will be acquainted with the application process that is linked in the Orientation Channel's description as well as the rules of the server. Before you receive Probationary Membership, you will be limited to one article, which will be your main nation article. Only after you gain Probationary, or "green name", status on the server will you be allowed to branch out and create articles on other aspects. If we see a user we don't recognize making new articles or editing other peoples articles, that user's IP will be banned from editing in the future. Vandalism will be considered a non-starter for membership consideration.

Wiki etiquette
After you've been cleared to edit on Discord, please follow these basic principles:
 * Do not plagiarize people's work, including both written and art work.
 * Do not edit other people's articles on the wiki unless you are directly involved or you've gotten permission to do so from someone involved.
 * Do not upload obscene gore or pornography.
