Tips for developing country outlines
Instructions for developing country outlines is located at Outlines (while that section is complete, the page is a draft, and will be moved to the Wikipedia namespace when completed). The Transhumanist 21:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

A note concerning redlinks...
Many of the entries (and their links) are standard across all of the country outlines, to aid readers, especially young readers, in comparing countries to each other.

So if this country doesn't have any of a particular entry, like navies, please don't delete the entry. Instead, complete it with "none" (and a brief explanation as to why, for example, "- x is a landlocked country with no ports"). If the explanation exists in an article on Wikipedia, then click on the redlink and create a redirect to that location. See Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section.

Standard redlinks (article names) were also chosen based on how country coverage tipically expands. This makes the standard names for these subtopics widely available and easily accessible. So please do not remove those redlinks, for they will turn blue eventually. In the meantime, they can be redirected to the section of whatever article has the relevant information, if any. See Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section.

Thank you.

P.S.: To discuss the standard design of the country outlines, or of outlines in general, do so on the Outline of knowledge WikiProject talk page.

Guidelines for outlines
Guidelines for the development of outlines are being drafted at Outlines.

Your input and feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Please check and fix the government section
The government section needs to be checked for accuracy. The initial data placed in the government branches sections was generated by template, and the data didn't fit all countries.

So those sections need to be looked over, and fixed if needed.

Please help.

Thank you.

Extreme points
Extreme points articles are accumulating for the various countries of the world. Therefore, the redlink will turn blue eventually, and should remain, because coming back and checking it periodically adds a lot of unnecessary effort (especially when applied to all the standard links in the country outlines as a whole - the standard links should be left in).

Here's a list of which countries have extreme points coverage on Wikipedia so far (blue does, red does not):

Cleanup
This "article" doesn't meet the MOS, is full of redlinks and "main" links that don't exist (and are inconsistently formatted) and requires cleanup. TT, please stop the pointy editwarring and restore the perfectly valid tag - as you know from X other articles. Verbal chat  20:47, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Needed maintenance on country outlines
Please check this outline for the following problems, and fix if present:


 * If the Local government section is empty (or only has a red "main" link), please remove the section. (If it has a blue "main" link, do not remove).
 * Underdeveloped Education section - add more links.
 * Redlinks that are unlikely to ever turn blue - remove or delink as appropriate.
 * Out-of-date incumbant names - remove. No need to add the new incumbants, as the links to the articles on the position titles should suffice.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 03:40, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:54, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
