I have created this short page to explain the easiest ways to link to Nations and Regions on NSWiki.

Very simple linking

NSWiki uses the same linking format as most other popular wikis, that is:

[[Main Page]]

returning Main Page

You can also give your links different titles and point them to the same page by using this format:

[[Main Page|a link to the NSWiki Main Page]]

returning a link to the NSWiki Main Page

Simple Linking

The simplest way to link to a nation is to do as follows:

{{nation|Jenlom}}

This will return a link like this:

Jenlom

The same also applies to regions, with:

{{region|The North Pacific}}

Returning:

The North Pacific

Flag Linking

You can also include a small flag image (to make the link look like a nation link from NationStates), like this:

{{nation|Jenlom|Jenlom}}

Jenlom

The same again goes for regions, which can be linked like so:

{{region|Europeia|Europeia}}

Europeia

Important

If the nation you are linking to has spaces in it, for simple linking, this is no problem. Simply type normally and your link will appear.

For flag templates, the second name must have underscores ("_") in, otherwise the flag image will not appear.

{{nation|The Campbell Nation|The_Campbell_Nation}}

The Campbell Nation

{{region|The North Pacific|The_North_Pacific}}

The North Pacific

If you do not type this in, your flag image will simply not appear.

{{region|The North Pacific|The North Pacific}}

The North Pacific
