The third way to create a new page is by directly typing the required page (eg. Adhikara) in the URL in the address bar of the browser. It is one of the easiest ways to create a new page. You could edit that and press enter. If the typed page does not exist, you can create a new page by clicking on 'create this page' link.
== New Page Vs Blank Page ==
A 'non-existing' or a new page does not have a history, whereas a 'blank' page has a page 'history', although it does not have any content. A non-existing page is created whereas a blank page is created but has no content inside it.
