This page is made to give instructions to ShitCrafters on how to make a nice-looking sidebar/infobox for your Country/Nation/State/Kingdom/etc. Template. This guide also includes international organizations, proposed states and historical states. Everything on ShitCraft is fictional, so you can be really creative or make some f\*cked up nations.

## Getting started

First of all, while in "Visual editing" mode on an article, click "Insert" and choose infobox and add the template "**New General Country**", and fill in the different categories you want for your sidebar. If you don't know if you will use certain labels or not, write placeholders in them to more easily change them later. This includes images. I recommend writing something in the bar until you get a good image.

The template is structured as seen to the right ->.

You can also go into "Edit source" and copy this template by selecting '**{{New General Country**, including all purple text and the **}}** end part', which is just easier from a commited ShitCraft writer's experience. Then when it is pasted into your article you can remove certain labels in "Edit source". Source editing might be tough at first, but after a while you get the hang of it.

Feel free to go through the various country wikis and copy some ideas from their templates (wich you can find in "Edit source").

## Rows

row1-row118 are placeholder names for where in the article these rows will appear. These are blank and labeless and you can do literally anything on them, unlike the rows that have fixed labels.

Note! You can't change the label names, e.g. "**Emperor**" cannot be renamed to "**Cool Emperor**". If you want to make your own funky label, either use the blank rows (row1,row2...) and write the title in bold and use spaces and write the funky leaders name. Or you can contact Calleastic and he will try to add the label into the template.

## Inserting images

In order to add images to your infobox, you need to upload them here. For example if your image's name is "example.png", then in order to put it into the infobox you simply type "File:example.png". The image should now appear in the infobox.
