Taijitu Wiki

[Lindisfarne]

Hi!

I would like to know who I have to contact to get on the Citizen Rooster on the Wiki and what I need to do (if anything) to be able to post a national profile on the Wiki.
Also; I have a map of Lindisfarne, and I am planning to digitalize it so I can publish it on NationStates and here. This would also be the map which I would like to associate to the present Taijitu map. As I understand, Taijitu is to be regarded as a planet of approximately earth size and earth energy input level with a corresponding climate.
I would also like to know if I should present all the facts I am putting on to NationStates here too, or if a reference to NationStates is enough.

all the best,
Linda in Lindisfarne

Hi, I will not have all the answers you seek but I can help with some of them.

I do not believe you need to contact anybody to make a wiki page for your nation, as I remember I just made an account and later I could edit or create pages. On the top right corner there's a login link, maybe you'll need to be approved, but you will certainly need to create an account so go ahead.

Map factors are best requested in the worldbuilding - Planning Room section ^(link), geography is left to the super-geography-god Oz who will tuck you in our world in the Official map thread ^(link). Our map and placement rules are very strict so to keep a "realistic" approach to what we call worldbuilding. Here's some policy for large nations ^(link) and here's a wiki help for worldbuilding / RP planning ^(link).

That said, I can try to guide your 1st steps to your nation building. It is correct Taijitu world is earth-like, but it has slightly less population than "Earth", roughly two thirds, so if you have a country like France it'd have around 40 million people, yet we do not encourage large nations or you'll have to RP - kinda explain - how your nation is "presently" large. We keep our map mostly clean to accommodate different RP approaches and new nations. Custom maps will face the mighty opposition of changing Taijitu world, which most "elite" RPs dislike, but who knows, make your case and the Cabal might treat you well. You may "not care" for taijitu map if you wish, just make sure it doesn't conflict with the worldbuilding. There are also other sections of our RP dedicated to less realistic sets, such as sci-fi and fantasy.

You don't need to follow anything from NationStates and using it's stats is discouraged, we have a lot of old players that have nations with tens of billions of inhabitants, they do not fit in our worldbuilding.

ah...I shouldn't write this much...hopefully Khem or Oz might help you further, we also have IRC channel that we may help you discussing your nation, many RPs started there. Well, have fun!

You got it mostly down, just mistaken one of my policies taken directly from my map guidelines

Making your own derivative maps of this map is also highly encouraged. I like competition.

If you make something I like, I'll include it into the map however I can. It's been done before.

Remind me why you aren't on my Liaison team?

Also if you need help specifically with setting up a wiki guide for your nation I would be most glad to aid in such endeavor.

I personally found the NS WFE coding easier and more flexible than the Taijitu Wiki as it is limited by templates available.  I could not set up the wiki like I did in NS WFE, in particular the right aligned factbox in my overview.  My signature has my WFE.
