Temporary tutorial
I copy a tutorial from LoN site:
This tutorial is solely for helping you get your nation wiki article started.[/b]
[size=150]Creating your nation's article[/size]
First, type the name of your country in the search box found on the left side of the wiki page. See image below.
Fig. 1
If such an article has not been created, a bolded red link will appear at the top of the search results page. Click this to create a page with that title. See the arrow on figure 2.

[size=150]Editting your nation's article[/size]
Start your nation's article by filling out the country infobox template. The infobox can be seen on the very right side of figure 3. To obtain the template, go to Template:Infobox Country wiki page.
After creating your infobox, write a brief opening summary of your nation. This summary is to introduce your nation and state its brief history and basic facts. See image below.

• Divide your article into categories to make finding a specific topic about your nation easier. There are three categories to choose from:
1) Main category: this is for the use of main topics such as history, government, economy, etc. See image below.
The example is created by typing: ==Economy== in wikitext format.
Fig 4
2) Sub-category: this is to further divide main categories such as periods of history, etc. See image below.
The example is created by typing: ===First and Second Dynasties=== in wikitext format.
Fig. 5
3) Sub-sub-category: this is similar to sub category, only a smaller font. Hardly ever used.
