Consigahria claims his work

I claim it!! I'm responsible for how the Category:Nations page currently looks. I would like people to help me reverse redirect errors and add to the Category:Nations and Category:Countries pages appropriately. But who has time for that but me???

Tutorial: How to Do it Right! Indexing: Adding nations to the Nations and Countries categories

Open these pages. You'll need them for indexing. :: Category:Nations : Category:Countries : Category:Work_in_progress : Category:Stubs ::

Open a nation's article. Nation stub articles belong in Work in progress and in Nations; blank nation articles belong in Work in progress only; extended nation articles belong in Nations; and nation articles which have coding errors belong in Countries.

Look for necessities. It should immediately have a nation infobox. A "work in progress" tag it should have if it's still being created. And finally, in the first paragraph you should find the nation's full official name in bold. If any of these things are missing and necessary, please make the necessary corrections. Also look for incongruities: no nation article should belong to both Category:Nations and Category:Countries.

If the article has an infobox but no text, edit it. At the very bottom of the page, add the following text: "[[Category:Work in progress]]". No further edits are necessary.

If the article has an infobox, and has text, but the text is brief, edit it. At the very beginning of the page, add this text: "{{stub}}". At the very bottom of the page, add the following text: [[Category:Stubs]]. Unless you know more about the nation, no further edits are necessary.

If the article has an infobox, and has extended text like a real encyclopedic article, edit it and add at the very bottom of the page "[[Category:Nations]]"; and no further changes are necessary. However, all NS++ players' initial articles are computer-generated, and the computer-generated article is based on a template, which tells the server, "okay, put 'nation/' before the nation's name - it'll be fine." But of course, we humans see this as an error.

• Suppose the article nation/Consigahria did not redirect to the article Consigahria. I would simply click the submenu icon next to the "Edit" button of the article, click Move, and remove the "nation/" from the text string.
• Suppose in this case the article Consigahria already exists, so access to redirect nation/Consigahria there is denied. I would simply open and edit both articles, cut-paste the contents of nation/Consigahria to Consigahria, and then replace the blanked nation/Consigahria page with the redirect command to the new article by typing this: "#REDIRECT [[Consigahria]]".

Confused? Add a new section and complain about it. Need help? Come to my talk page and contact me!
