From BVE Routes Wiki

To add a route, follow these steps:

• Type the name of the route into the search box and click Go.
• If the wiki comes up with a route, somebody was faster than you ;-)
• If not, the wiki will display something like "page does not exist, you can create it". Do that.
• Copy and paste the following code:

[[Category:Germany]] {{Routetemplate|country=Germany|length=10km|author=Author's Name|version=1|fictional=yes|runsOn=BVE2,4,openBVE|trains=ET420,DB515|update=2009-01-01|url=http://the-download.url}}

Obviously, on the right side of each = symbol, you must add meaningful information. Note that the Country Category (first line) may not exist in the Route by Country list, you may add it here.

Beneath this template, add a description as you wish.

You can add a flag image to the country. Just type http://bve-routes.com/flags/ger.gif following the country's name. ger.gif of course displays the german flag. Others can be used the same way: bri.gif, sco.gif, usa.gif, hun.gif and so on.

Use the Upload tool from the toolbox to upload one or two screenshots of the route and add them to the page with [[Image:Nameoftheimage.jpg]].

If you frequently contribute to this page, consider adding your name to the Contributors page.
