Introduction
Greetings!
This topic is IIWiki's official topic on the Nationstates forums, and any questions, comments, or concerns concerning the wiki should be posted here or on the site's discussion pages. Occasionally, this thread will be used by the IIWiki staff to post important announcements. For those not familiar with IIWiki, IIWiki is wiki dedicated to storing national information and facts about the in-character creations of posters from the NS Diplomacy forums. It was founded in 2011 by Solm after Milograd suggested that a new, active, RP-dedicated, in-character wiki be created to fill the void that was left by Wikistates and not filled by NSWiki. It, as of November 2017, hosts over 35,000 articles. Anyone is welcome to use IIWiki regardless of what tech level they play, how long they have been on the site, how skilled they are as roleplayers, et cetera.
Please come by our Discord server. We have general chat, help with formatting, worldbuilding discussion, and site management there. It's the best way to get in touch with staff and other community members.

Announcements
• 7/17/22: We have updated the main page, added a bunch of new templates and help pages, etc etc.
• 6/30/19: iiwiki.com points to iiwiki.us, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
• 6/30/19: Everything not moved has been lost permanently, including images. We unfortunately do not have the ability to store images indefinitely for future retrieval.
• 3/12/19: We have a new site up on new servers that are better equipped to handle IIWiki traffic. The old site will remain up for a few weeks for transitional purposes, but we will eventually need to take it down, and whatever wasn't migrated will be lost permanently.
• 11/12/17: We apologize for the rocky few months as our traffic completely destroys the hardware of the system we moved to. We are looking into moving to a dedicated server to alleviate this.
• 5/15/17: We now have a new host! This change accompanies an image purge to get us more free space and stop plowing through our disk space.
• 7/15/16: Ownership of IIWiki has changed smoothly - thank you to Solm for getting us started and getting us to this point!
• 7/30/15: Due to our growing size, the server will need to be updated soon. We will keep you apprised of all the details. We have also posted a new thread here on NS to better keep in touch with the community.
• 11/27/12: IIWiki now has its own tag on NationStates!
• 11/7/12: IIWiki finally has an official thread on the Nationstates forum. It is a work in progress and will be updated to be more comprehensive and informative from time to time. Players of Nationstates and users of the wiki are encouraged to discuss topics pertaining to the wiki therein, though it is not meant to serve as a substitute to the wiki's discussion pages or IRC/Discord channel.

FAQ
Q: Do you have a template for starting a nation article?
A: We have both the nation template code and example section headers for you to fill out here.
Q: Do you have a template for starting a region article?
A: Region infobox code is here. Hopefully, section headers should be added in the near future.
Q: Can you install Visual Editor?
A: VE is a very resource-hungry extension. While our upgraded set-up might be able to handle it, there are no guarantees. We will, however, be looking into it eventually.
Q: Does IIWiki content have to be stuff used in the International Incidents subforum?
A: Absolutely not. It can be stuff you're only using in the Nationstates or GE&T subforums, gameside-only, or even things you don't even have on the Nationstates website. We're pretty open about what you can put on there, so long as you follow the rules.
Q: Why is Homofront banned on IIWiki?
A: Because it's an atrocious, fetishistic concept that revolves around being able to justify more widely rounded up and killing LGBT people. We allow a lot, but that one is just terrible on its face. Furryfront was also banned and deleted for the same reason.
