Articles need to reach a certain standard to be kept on this wiki. They require an infobox, and a navbox if one exists. All articles should follow the same format, with an overview that is short and concise, which goes over the name of the item, when it was developed, why it was developed, who for, and if warranted what makes it special. This should be very short, two or three lines at most, as it's an overview.

Remember, this is a wiki, not a blog. Stories, opinions, or any views of the author are to be excluded.

To use the 'side bar thing', the simplest way is to use the visual editor, and select insert a template, from there type guninfobox2 or the required infobox for the article type. (guninfobox is deprecated, but articles still use it)

After you insert the template, a view with many sections to input data appears, please go to an existing fleshed out article to see what to put in them. Always use metric, but if conversion is complicated you can write the original within an Abbr template {{Abbr|Imperial|Metric}}.

A navbox is required, these are simple to use. Insert a template at the bottom of an article and type Nav followed by the nation code, then the period. It should autocomplete. An example is NavDEUWeaponsModern or NavCZEWeaponsWWII. Periods are 18C, 19C, WWI, WWII, and Modern.

Do not copy paste anything from anywhere, this should be obvious but people still do it.

Expect someone to change your article. You will make mistakes, and that is okay, as long as you see what has changed and learn from it.

Thank you very much for your help! I look forward to being a part of this WIKI.

I see you've been making more articles, I suggest you work on improving your existing articles to reach the site standard before making more, as this adds more work for others.

Will do! One question how to I add the flag of the country to the general information?

Check existing articles for that, {{USA 1960}} is for US weapons since 1960 for example.

A list of all current nation templates is here: https://firearmcentral.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Nation_Data_Templates

Ah thank you that helps a lot!
