It is about time more people start using the Wiki.
It is not only a help, a start-up guide and community portal (should be at least) but it explains the game to new players.

The wiki is an important part of this game. Most of you neglect it! Some, like me, Raul, Nosejam and Canadian, use the wiki and try to make something out of it.
The Wiki needs you too, b/c it is just too much for a couple of people.

Leaders can make pages about their nations, users have unlimited userpages at their disposal...
I introduced the Featured Article, fixed the main page, wrote the necessairy templates etc.
The basic stuff is done, we just need more info/input etc.

I know you have to make another account for the wiki, as the forum accounts don't work there, but that isn't that much work, is it?
The wiki allows you to make articles, help peolple etc. Users; players; past, present and future nations, vendetta or resurrection; buildings; troops... All these pages need help.

The wiki isn't boring either, as some may think. Instead of just plain text, you can learn Wiki code and make a hell of a lot more.


I.E:
Main page before I rewrote it (http://wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=112) VS Main Page after I rewrote it (wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php?title=Main_Page)
My Userpage (wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php?title=User:Bram_Gotink)
Templates (wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php?title=Category:Templates)
Stubs - aka pages that need editing (wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php?title=Category:Stubs)
Users so far (http://wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php/Special:Listusers)
All pages so far (http://wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php/Special:Allpages)


Join the wiki now, become a pioneer in NW history. Now is the time for making regulations about present and future articles.
An example of how you can make the rules (http://wiki.nation-wars.com/index.php/Category_talk:Nations)

This is a good time for the dev members and editors to really shine and get alot of this done, imo. They may be really busy, idk, cause i cant see in there sections, but i know when i was an editor and a dev i had some time for the first wiki. I wrote a **** ton in there, but since its gone, i am unmotivated to write it all again..lol.

I think I have done my share lol
But this is not only for the Dev or the editors. It is for all members, that's what makes it "special"

I mean, I can't write about being a farmer/techer or write guides for being an indy as I suck being indy and I've never played Farmer/techer before :D

Whoever was writing the manual should be able to achieve a lot on the wiki with just some copypasta

Also, we have threads (in the forums) about the history of nations, put that on there anything is a help.

true enough
there is a lot of information here, on people's computers probably as well, and in the history pages...
a lot of work to be done, loads of time to do it in and a couple of people working ... might take a while :| :D
