Country? Cruising Guide

This template is to be used for countries that consist of a single small island or a small group of islands. For example, many islands in the Caribbean or island countries like Malta, Cape Verde, etc. It is NOT for non-island or large island countries, States, Territories & Provinces like France, Australia, California, Queensland, etc. NOR is it for islands that belong to a country, such as Sardinia (Italy), Samos (Greece), Tahiti (French_Polynesia), etc. For these use the either Country Template or Island Template.

The items in this template are for your guidance and assure a certain homogeneity and consistency across the CruisersWiki but are not cast in concrete. Use your judgment.

Items in magenta are to be substituted including the {{MagentaText|xx}} template.

Please remove instructions in green, including these lines, after reading them. Also, keep in mind that this template is Protected which means that you cannot alter it, however, if you think that any changes to the template are desirable, contact the wiki administrators by making an entry describing the proposed changes and your reason in the discussion (second right button at the top of this page).
