The Wiki Submissions Thread
Hello,
I understand that for many people Wiki editing looks very daunting and it puts people off contributing a page about their micronation or anything else they want to write about the Micran Sector in MicrasWiki. Therefore I'm starting this thread (hopefully an admin can sticky it) so that people unfamiliar with MicrasWiki can post the text of an article they want written so that me or anyone else with good Wiki skills can put it in for them.
Hopefully this will increase the number of articles we get done in MicrasWiki and could become an MCS tradition to ensure that MicrasWiki content is as up to date as possible.
Here's a form for people to fill in about their nation which can later be 'Wikified':
I think it's also only fair if this service demands an acceptable level of detail and quality in the article in question- very short or extremely badly written articles may not be accepted. I also think this service should be limited to nations which are or have been members of the MCS.
Regards,
Max

Re: The Wiki Submissions Thread
If the admin in question wouldn't mind making some kind of announcement (global, perhaps?) to get people to write articles, I'd be very grateful. MicrasWiki is looking a little shabby at the moment and needs some work done on it.
