Wikipedia:Sample country outline

This is a generic outline of the most common high priority overview articles for each country. First, second, and third level sub-articles are included. Not all of these will apply to every country, and the unique aspects of each country may result in other high priority overview articles specific to individual countries. Most of these can also be split into a "History of" sub-article if it becomes too long.

To see which exist for a given country, you can open the page in the source editor, use find and replace to swap out "Example" with the country's name, and click preview to see which links are blue. Keep in mind that some countries may use non-standard names for overview articles, so check before creating a new article!
