Change Nation Order

• I suggest changing the order of the four nation icons to USA, German, France, and USSR to match the order used within the game. --Trifler 06:02, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
• I was actually going to change the order, to alphabetical, American, Chinese, French, German and USSR. or in game order. Still pondering --Jiri Starrider 06:24, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
• The ordering differs between the clients:
  • EU has Germany, France, USA, USSR, China, which is what the wiki front page currently has as well.
  • US has what Trifler wrote above.
  • RU have USSR, Germany, USA, France, China.

They try to make their target demographic happy by rearranging it for each region (possibly France is even first for French localization, never checked). So going alphabetical might be the best idea eventually, however if you do that I suggest to keep the names as they are used in game, incl. the abbreviations. That's what everyone is used to, and also it's more correct, as the USSR comprised more than just Russia. The disadvantage of that is that China and France would be first, the two smallest nations. You could also do game internal ordering by order of appearance, which is 'ussr', 'germany', 'usa', 'china', 'france', 'uk', or just keep it as it is...

Graffiti stickers

Use these icons: https://wiki.worldoftanks.ru/uploads/7/78/Stickers_ussr.png https://wiki.worldoftanks.ru/uploads/e/e3/Stickers_germany.png https://wiki.worldoftanks.ru/uploads/7/72/Stickers_usa.png https://wiki.worldoftanks.ru/uploads/7/7f/Stickers_france.png https://wiki.worldoftanks.ru/uploads/3/3b/Stickers_china.png or https://wiki.worldoftanks.ru/uploads/7/7e/Stickers_china_ie.png - Korol.D 11:19, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Any particular reason why we don't use this Chinese graffiti image? It appears to match the ones for the other nations much better than the one that's on the main page currently. --Trifler 11:32, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

We should use the images on what Korol.D had posted, they look way better. --

Tried them, didn't like, sorry. Thought I'd borrow from you Korol.D and use the RU ones and except for the Chinese one they are identical to what we had already. --Jiri Starrider 06:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Translations

I suggest to make existing pages into the portal's languages (English is already made, so French, German, Polish and Spanish). On my side, I translate tank's description first (then, historical ones) in my own language (french). If this suggestion is accepted, then tell me and I give finished one (I start with french tanks).

In general the separate language wiki's are actually separate wiki's linked by a special link that automatically displays on the left side (see our main page for the RU link). I don't know of any plans currently WG has to make a WoT wiki in another language and it is something beyond the scope of what we are doing here.

Translation: Ask Wargaming to set up a French wiki. --Snib 22:52, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for answers, I submited a suggestion ticket. --Erwin0859 10:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
