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

#

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.

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

i usually figure them out

#

just this part is confusing me is all

maiden basalt
#

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

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

#

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

You're welcome.

And please, do not feel like a burdon.

If we can't help, we'll tell you, if we can, we'll guide you. And sometimes I do a bit more than usual 😉
