This WikiProject is focused on country coverage (content/gaps) and presentation (navigation, page naming, layout, formatting) on Wikipedia, especially country articles (articles with countries as their titles), country outlines, and articles with a country in their name (such as Demographics of Germany), but also all other country-related articles,...
This WikiProject helps Wikipedia's navigation-related WikiProjects (Wikipedia:WikiProject Outline of knowledge, WikiProject Categories, WikiProject Portals, etc.) develop and maintain the navigation structures (menus, outlines, lists, templates, and categories) pertaining to countries. And since most countries share the same subtopics ("Cities of",...
Many country and country-related articles have been extensively developed, but much systematic or similar information about many countries is not presented in a consistent way. Inconsistencies are rampant in article naming, headings, data presented, types of things covered, order of coverage, etc. This WikiProject works towards standardizing page l...
Opening paragraphs
The article should start with a good simple introduction, giving name of the country, general location in the world, bordering countries, seas and thelike. Also give other names by which the country may still be known (for example Holland, Persia). Also, add a few facts about the country, the things that it is known for (for example the mentioning of windmills in the Netherlands article). The etymology of a country's name, if worth noting, may be dealt with in the Etymology or History section...
Infobox
There is a table with quick facts about the country called an infobox. A template for the table can be found at the bottom of this page. Although the table can be moved out to the template namespace (to e.g. [[Template:CountryName Infobox]]) and thus easen the look of the edit page, most Wikipedians still disapprove as of now, see the talk page. The contents are as follows: 1. The official long-form name of the country in the local language is to go on top as the caption. If there are several...
A section should be written in WP:Summary style, containing just the important facts. If it is too large, information should be transferred to the sub-article. The link should be shown as below: (see WP:SUMMARYHATNOTEfor recommended hatnote usage) Articles may consist of the following sections: 1. Etymology sections are often placed first (sometime...
As prose text is preferred overly detailed statistical charts and diagrams such as economic trends, weather boxes, historical population charts, and past elections results, etc, should be reserved for main sub articles on the topic as per WP:DETAIL as outlined at WP:NOTSTATS.
Galleries or clusters of images are generally discouraged as they may cause undue weight to one particular section of a summary article and may cause accessibility problems, such as sandwiching of text or fragmented image display for some readers. See WP:GALLERYfor more information.
As noted at Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes the number of templates at the bottom of any article should be kept to a minimum. Country pages generally have footers that link to pages for countries in their geographic region. Footers for international organizations are not added to country pages, but they rather can go on subpages such ...
Transclusions are generally discouraged as changes made to transcluded content often do not appear in watchlists, resulting in unseen changes on the target page. Transcluded text may cause repeated links and no-text cite errors and have different established reference styles, varieties of English or date formats than the target page. Transclusions ...
