Victoria 2 Wiki

[Niptium]

Since we can't really get new stuff added to the Paradoxian wikis, I created a new non profit wiki that you can find here. I set it up so everyone can edit.

EDIT : THE WIKI HAS MOVED

Victoria II wiki

I want to create something very similar to what's available on Vicky2wiki but up to date. Feel free to submit a new logo, or help in setting up categories and the infrastructure we need to have a great community wiki.

Victoria II wiki works under the Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license (like Vicky2wiki does). So you can share the informations and reuse it, edit it as you wish (information is information after all), but you must give credit to the author of the text you are using/editing/sharing.

Style guides and Game Version compatibility

Please, very important : use the style guides for all articles and the one specific for national strategies so we make the best articles out there.

Most of all, DO specify for which version your article is up to date for by using this simple line at the top of your article :

{{Version|X}}

For example, if you are using the :

• Base game (1.3) (sans expansion packs), then you will write: {{Version|1.3}}
• A House Divided (2.31), then you will write: {{Version|1.3|2.31}}
• Heart of Darkness (3.1), then you will write: {{Version|1.3|2.31|3.1}} <--- shouldn't be used as of now
• If your strategy/article tested on A House Divided (2.31) isn't working for the Base game (1.3), you would have to use this code: {{Version|Unknown|2.31}}

Uploading Images

You can upload images on the Wiki to help visually improve articles. If you do, don't forget to categorize the image by using this simple code : [[Category:Image]] in the description of the image. That way, we will have an index of all the game-related images on the Wiki.

Can we get this stickied?

 

[Morwys]

Since we can't really get new stuff added to the Paradoxian wikis (...)

Why? What happened?

 

[DBtotalwar]

I can write one on German unification...

 

[unmerged(601322)]

can we write country strategies? and THANKS for making one! :-D

 

[Niptium]

Anyone who is willing to contribute is welcomed. I would suggest you guys check out the Style guide that we rushed copied from Vicky2wiki : http://en.victoria2.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Victoria_2_wiki:Style

Also for Nation Strategy Guides : http://en.victoria2.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Victoria_2_wiki:Nation_Strategy_Style

Why? What happened?

Registration was locked about 2 years ago due to spam bots, an then seemingly abandoned by the admins. Only people who already had accounts can make any changes to them.

ok Belgium's country guide is up may do another tomorrow :laugh:

 

[Oliver Twopence]

Cool. Maybe I will write some simple stuff, but perhaps it is best to wait for HoD. I reckon a lot of the guides will be outdated very soon..

Why on the Belgian wiki it says that A House Divided is obsolete? And 1.3 current..?

 

[Carolingian]

I can't really make edits, but I can look around and check grammar and spelling. That's my strong suit.

 

[TaZletsplay]

I'm pretty new to the game, but I look forward to learning from this!

 

[Niptium]

Why on the Belgian wiki it says that A House Divided is obsolete? And 1.3 current..?

The template doesn't say that A house Divided is obsolete and the Base game current, it says that the article is obsolete FOR A House Divided but current for the 1.3 Base game version.

If you were to write an article for the current (2.31) version of A House Divided, you should use this small code if it works for the Base game (1.3) :

{{Version|1.3|2.31}}

But if your strategy/article tested on A House Divided (2.31) isn't working for the Base game (1.3), you would have to use this code :

{{Version|Unknown|2.31}}

I have some basic info on Germany up and am working on the CB page as I type. I plan on working with a US guide to the best of my ability.

 

[Cissek]

Is copypasting still releavant info from paradoxian wiki acceptable?

 

[Luchofeio]

I can help on forming India...if nobody does

 

[jmskip]

I would think that it would be considering of its Creative Commons License. There are certain things that are impossible not to use directly (Provinces page for example.)

 

[Niptium]

Vicky2wiki works under the Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license so is Victoria 2 Wiki. So you can share the informations and reuse it, edit it as you wish (information is information after all), but you must give credit to the author of the text you are using/editing/sharing at least in the summary describing the edit.

All in all, what is the most important aspect is sharing the information, that's what it's all about. I don't claim the information shared on Victoria 2 Wiki mine even if I create original content. Images, copyrights, game text all belong to Paradox Interactive.
