Creating Articles (Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.)

Starting a new page from a link

• Some pages contain links to other pages that don't exist yet.

<figure-inline></figure-inline>

• To start one of these new pages, you can click on its link. They are typically created in preparation for creating a new page.

<figure-inline></figure-inline>

• A new page link with a misspelled name need not be created if that duplicates content found under another name page.

• If there isn't already a new page link to the page you want to create, you can always add such a link yourself. You would add the new page link typically in a related page, an index page or your own user page.

Starting a new page from a search

• Type the name of the page that doesn't exist in the Search box, and start the search.

<figure-inline></figure-inline>

• The search results will say that no such page exists. You can create a new page by clicking on the 'red' name.

<figure-inline>1000x1000px</figure-inline>

Starting a new page through the URL

• Using the browser address bar to enter an URL to a new page is an easy way to start the new page process.
• Easier still is editing the page-name part of a URL for an existing page. For instance, if the URL currently shows :

<figure-inline></figure-inline>

• You could edit that to say instead :

<figure-inline></figure-inline>

• If the typed page does not exist, you can create a new page by clicking on 'create this page' link.

<figure-inline></figure-inline>
