Alternative methods
Search method
Search for the desired title of the page to be created:
- Search for the title of the page you want to create.
- When it's not found click on the red link in Create the page the "New page title" on this wiki!
Red link method
When a wiki link points to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be coloured red. You can click on the red link to create and edit the new page. This is the a good way to add pages, because it means that right from the start the they will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki.
- Edit an article to include link to the desire new page title, ie. add wiki link using
[[New page title]]. - Save changes to article then click on the red link New page title.
Other considerations
If you are uncertain whether a page exists or not, try searching for keywords before creating your page; to avoid duplication.
