Nation Infoboxes
To the right is an example of a Wikipedia-style country info box. Below is what it looks like raw. An explanation will be given below. Don't panic!

This looks quite complex, but really isn't as bad as it looks. The first line (up to font-size: 95%;") must be kept unaltered, in order to preserve uniformity.

The second line gives the header to the table. It is suggested that the last line of the header be the English translation of the name, and the first be the name in the native language(s). If a different script is used, that should be at the very top (for an example, see Japan (Rebellion of 61)). Each heading begins with  and ends with . The  tag separates multiple headings.

Each data point is in the following form: |Category || Data

And each point is sperated by

Finally, the table must end with |}

To make a cell that covers two columns (as in, for example, the flag, motto, and world maps in Wikipedia's country entires - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxembourg for an example), use a line like this:

|colspan=2 align=center |
