The Design Principles[edit]

  • General
  • every entity has one main entry. Exception: Francia, both in Germany and France; Rus', in Ukraine and Russia
  • in other entries only limited info is provided
  • heads of state and governments and elections are only listed in the main entry
  • links to entities always to corresponding year
  • no links to entities and anchors if both entities are in the same (sub-)section
  • personal union without common entity
no color change, no header, link to entity in bullet
King [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Carlos I]] of Spain becomes also king of [[user:electionworld/sandbox/Italy#SIC1516|Sicily]]
King Carlos I of Spain becomes also king of Sicily
no info on heads of state in daughter country, but information on head of government and elections.
  • political union with common entity
in daughter entity: color change conform main entry, italic header with link to main entry, no info on heads of state, government and elections
'''''[[user:electionworld/sandbox/Denmark#1536|Kingdoms of Denmark and Norway]]'''''
Kingdoms of Denmark and Norway
in mother entry: header, link to article, in bullet link to entity and year
'''[[Denmark-Norway|Kingdoms of Denmark and Norway]]'''
*1536: The [[Danish Privy Council]] declares [[user:electionworld/sandbox/Norway#1536|Norway]] to be part of Denmark.
Kingdoms of Denmark and Norway
  • occupation, annexation (de jure and de facto), change of juridiction
color change, italic header if entity is de jure or de facto annexed to occupier or establishes a dependency entity with name and link to entity to year in occupying country in italics, link to entity and anchor in bullet as in examples, no link directly
example in Spain (link to entity to anchor of ceded entity with name of receiving entity):
*1708: Minorca becomes a [[#MIN1708|British]] possession.
  • 1708: Minorca becomes a British possession.
example in Minorca
{{anchor|MIN1708}}'''[[Minorca]]''' ''[[user:electionworld/sandbox/United Kingdom#1708|Great Britain]]
*{{anchor|MIN1708}}1708: Minorca becomes a British possession.
Minorca Great Britain
  • 1708: Minorca becomes a British possession.
exception: if the annexed entity is in the same section as other parts of the annexing country, link to entity in bullet.
*{{anchor|MIN1708}}1708: Minorca becomes a [[user:electionworld/sandbox/United Kingdom#1708|British]] possession.
  • 1708: Minorca becomes a British possession.
example in United Kingdom
*{{anchor|1708}}1708: [[user:electionworld/sandbox/Spain#MIN1708|Minorca]] becomes a British possession.
  • 1708: Minorca becomes a British possession.
the same for cessions
example in Spain:
*{{anchor|1802}}1802: The United Kingdom cedes [[#MIN1798|Minorca]] to Spain.
  • 1802: The United Kingdom cedes Minorca to Spain.
example in Minorca:
*1802: The United Kingdom cedes Minorca to [[#1802|Spain]].
  • 1802: The United Kingdom cedes Minorca to Spain.
example in United Kingdom (link to entity to anchor of ceded entity with name of receiving entity):
*1802: The United Kingdom cedes Minorca to [[user:electionworld/sandbox/Spain#MIN1802|Spain]].
  • 1802: The United Kingdom cedes Minorca to Spain.
exception, when more territories are changed
example in Spain:
[[user:electionworld/sandbox/Gibraltar#1713|Gibraltar]] and [[#MIN1713|Minorca]] fall to [[user:electionworld/sandbox/United Kingdom#1713|Great Britain]].
Gibraltar and Minorca fall to Great Britain.
  • secession
year anchor in new entity
example in Catalonia:
{{anchor|Catalonia|CAT1641}}'''[[Catalan Republic]]'''
*1641: [[Pau Claris i Casademunt]] [[Catalan Revolt|proclaims]] the Catalan Republic.
Catalan Republic
link to entity to year anchor in old entity
example in Spain
*{{anchor|1641}}1641: [[Pau Claris i Casademunt]] [[Catalan Revolt|proclaims]] the [[#CAT1641|Catalan Republic]]. 
  • colonies in colonizing countries
the same as annexations and cessions, when outside Europe link to entity to article instead of sectioncolor change and name colony with link to entity to colonizator in header.
example: cession of colony
*1802: {{anchor|1802}}Spain cedes [[Louisiana (New Spain)|Louisiana]] to [[user:electionworld/sandbox/France#1802|France]].
  • Treaties and alliances
