Hearts of Iron 4 Wiki

[Meneth]

I've set up an Hearts of Iron 4 wiki so that info on the game, especially once it releases, can be gathered in a coherent fashion in a centralized region.
This is the 7th Paradox wiki I'm hosting, the other 6 being CKII, EU4, EU3, Vic2, HoI3, and EvW.

I hope that the wiki will grow to become a useful resource for all players once the game is released. In the meantime there should be plenty of info to add once the dev diaries start.
Right now there's not that much info there, but that should change with time.
Visit it here.


There's also links info on some of the countries on the countries page.

The countries page is starting to fill out nicely: http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Countries

Help filling out the individual countries would be appreciated. As an example I've started a page on Norway: http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Norway
A short introduction, the capital, government type, and faction will do.

We might add "governing party" to the template as well, but if so that can easily be added to individual pages in the future.

You need to create Menus on the left side. ATM you can't get to the countries list from main page.

There will be a list of important pages on the frontpage eventually. Right now there's very few pages though.

I understand that but for people who go straight to the wiki, they need access to the countries page. Since there is no short cut they have to either Google it or come to this thread to get to there.

Also if you could do more on the Norway one so we can have an template on what to do. Then I will get working on other European countries.

There, it's got a section with important pages now.

I've started a bit on Germany and France. Just wondering though, is copying and pasting from wikipedia allowed for brief introductions?

Yes. Wikipedia uses the same content license as my wikis.

And great job done again Meneth. Fabulous! Keep up the ever continuing great Work.

I've created the UK page by copying the USA template but I am stuck on adding flags. Any chance you could fix that?

Medibee will almost certainly get around to it, yes.

The Wiki is looking sweet! More articles have been added and once the game is released you will see it grow even more!

Why am I redirected to the forums, when I try to log in the wiki?

Why am I redirected to the forums, when I try to log in the wiki?

When you click the log-in button, the following should happend:

1. You're sent to the Paradox Account log-in (this happens transparently if you're already logged in)
2. You're sent back to the wiki
3. If a wiki account already exists for your PDX account, you're logged in. Done
4. Your forum user name is retrieved
5. If you have one, a wiki account with that name is created and you're logged in. Done
6. If not you're sent to the forum to set up a forum account
7. After that you should be sent back to the wiki and logged in, but I've heard that can fail. That's on the forums' end of things though. If it fails, hitting log in on the wiki once more after setting up a forum name should resolve it

Since you've got a forum account and are presumably already logged into your Paradox Account, you should just be instantly logged into the wiki upon hitting log in though.

When will a full and correct list of countries be added? I noticed some changes to the Wiki a few days back, and a load of country articles were deleted.

What happens for you instead? You just get sent to the forums?

 

[ViriathusTG]

Yep, and when I go to the wiki, its all the same as before.

 

[Meneth]

I really don't understand why that's happening.
You don't have cookies or JavaScript disabled or something like that?
