country infobox bugging out

[maiden basalt]

infobox keeps attempting to link to something completely unrelated and it keeps filling up all the country infobox templates on the wiki i’m working on, i don’t know how to fix it or why it’s doing this

Hey Luna. I fixed it for you, but you need to import the country data for each country you want to use.

[maiden basalt]

thank you so much, I'm very appreciative of the help. I'm uh, not sure how to do that for the country data but I would gladly do so if i knew how

unless you mean importing the templates

[pastel turret]

Exactly that. Importing the templates that show as red links

[maiden basalt]

sorry sorry, thought it was something more complicated similar to another infobox thing i’m kinda struggling to understand

i don’t quite understand how to make custom countries with the little icons in the conflict templates

but it’s not really related to this issue and i’m sure it’s not the place to ask

thank you for your help

[pastel turret]

No worries. The icons are templates too. As soon as you import a country data template, you'll see other templates pop up as red links.

i keep trying to import these but they don’t well, import

is there anything i’m missing? or am i importing them wrong? i just put in what they’re called but it doesn’t seem to think it’s anything

sorry for asking so many questions, it’s just the first time i’ve done this

at least properly

[honest zenith]

Please do not try and import wikipedia templates unless you know what you are doing

[maiden basalt]

i usually figure them out

just this part is confusing me is all

[maiden basalt]

idk what to do then because if i can’t import them which i already cant do because they don’t exist as pages then it’ll just stay like that

i know importing wikipedia stuff is risky and clutters the wiki but it’s more just for me and my friends

i just wanted to know if there was a way i could get it working that i was missing so i’d learn

i’m sorry if it came across otherwise

idont mean to be rude sorry if i am it’s just rlly late lol

[pastel turret]

Countrydata are necessary for this purpose, and we're absolutely not going to host them on Miraheze 😄

[maiden basalt]

i’m sorry if i did something wrong

[pastel turret]

Don't worry about it. It is true that we do not advice importing from Wikipedia. In some cases it just is that there are no alternatives like in your case

[maiden basalt]

i try to import from dev when i can but there are times that i have to get stuff from wikipedia for it to work

[pastel turret]

The only thing you can do, is copy and paste them manually.

And you need to keep an eye on the red links that inevitably are going to pop up.

As these templates are many, and have many dependencies

We (volunteers) are limited in time as it is, but I can try and do 1 country for you, so that you see what I do.

Oh ... Hang on... 👀

[maiden basalt]

?

[pastel turret]

Some of the countries are not real

[maiden basalt]

yes, it’s a minecraft server

we have our nations which inevitably, do not exist..

[pastel turret]

Yeah, Wikipedia doesn't have files on them

[maiden basalt]

i could attempt to edit files of real countries

[pastel turret]

So what needs to be done is to make a "Mule" (a example country) which you can edit accordingly and save as a new countrydata template

To be honest, I've never tried that, so not sure I can help with that

[maiden basalt]

i’ll give it my best shot if it means it’ll allow my wiki to work! but i’m not sure which page has the equivalent that i’d need to edit

[pastel turret]

I do a few basic templates and modules

[pastel turret]

Template:Naval, Template:Armed forces, Template:Navy, Template:Air force

These I have left out as they are used as examples, not sure if you need them.

As for Hungary, these most common used files are done.

You can use them to change the names of the country in these files, and save them accordingly under a different template name.
