The wikis will be moved over to a better server tonight.
This may cause some downtime, in which case you have my apologies. The move should be entirely finished within a few hours of starting though, so the worst case scenario is a few hours of downtime.

Just joined the Wiki. I also got right into it and began a section called "Village Pump": http://eu4wiki.com/Village_Pump

It's the place on a Wiki where people can come together and discuss any issues-of-the-day, and ideas for site improvement. I broke it down into four categories:
  • Administration
  • Content
  • Technical
  • Miscellaneous
I am also reserving the namespace "VP:" for "Village Pump."

Also, Meneth, I uploaded the list above to this page:

http://eu4wiki.com/VP:Content#Top_100_Searches_.28Some_Without_Pages.29

It looks like perhaps only the first 25 actually had more than one hit, or all the rest had the same number, like 2 hits or something. Because other than the first 25 entries on your list, all the rest are in alphabetical order. 25 of the 100 in the list already have pages. But that gives us a good place to start from of the other 75.

I've moved it to the correct namespace. Not sure how much use it'll really get though.

Everything on the list had at least 2 searches for it.
 
I've reworked the wiki categories. The "features" category no longer exists, and has been replaced with the game concepts category.
Within it there are now four categories; military, economy, diplomacy, and realm. There's some overlap between them, but that's not really a negative.
The realm category is perhaps a bit large though, so if anyone has an idea for a category that would split off somewhere around half the pages in it I'm all ears.
And if anyone has any ideas for how to categorize the "map" page and the "scoring system" page that'd be great. I might move the scoring system page over to the EU4 category instead, as it isn't something with any actual in-game effect.
 
Good morning!

Looking over the changes you made, I was wondering why you moved my articles into the namespace, i.e., http://eu4wiki.com/Europa_Universalis_4_Wiki:Village_Pump, but most other articles, like "Map" are just "Map." I moved the rest of the VP: articles to the namespace to follow suit, but it looks like those are the *only* articles in the "Europa_Universalis_4_Wiki" namespace right now. Am I missing something?

The Project namespace is for anything unrelated to the game, community, and all that; that is, things that purely have to do with the wiki itself.
You can see all pages in the namespace here. As you can see there are several pages in there other than the VP pages. Though due to the community around the wiki itself being quite small there's not much of a need for all that many Project namespace pages.

The map page on the other hand has to do with the game itself, so is in the main namespace.

Sorry for breaking some of your internal links though; that was not intended.

Ah! That makes sense. Thanks. Also... I was just adding some pages about Occupation and War Score and -- woah! -- they just moved out from under me to your Warfare page! :D

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid the mistake Paradoxian made of unnecessarily splitting up pages. If a page would only be a few paragraphs, it is usually better to include it on a larger page. It can then be split off later at need if it actually grows to a major size.
 
Oh and here's every term that's been searched for at least twice in the last 7 days (including today):

  1. germany

I just took a stab at expanding this page: http://eu4wiki.com/Europa_Universalis_IV

You can see that there are a lot of basic pages that we still need:
  • Paradox Development Studio
  • Paradox Interactive
  • terra incognita
  • royal marriage
  • sue for peace
  • annexation
  • Clausewitz 2.5 Engine
Click to expand...
The first two are needed, yeah. You might be able to port those over from the Vic2 Wiki or one of the others.
TI is unnecessary; that can easily be mentioned on the map page itself. I've set up a redirect.
Royal marriages are definitely needed, yeah.
Sue for peace goes under warfare. I'll set up a redirect.
Same with annexation.
I don't think there's any real point to having a page for the engine. it can be mentioned on the Paradox Interactive page.
 
I have added a lot of info in the "Bosnia" page, Meneth knows about that :D afaik.
