Help:Starting a new page

From Mycoted

General principles

Before adding a new page, please do a search and check that the topic does not already exist.

Starting a page from an existing link

To start a new page, you can start from a link to the title of the new page.

For example, to create the topic "Rawlinson Brainstorming" if it did not exist, you simply go to "Brainstorming" and add a link to "Rawlinson Brainstorming" by adding the text in square brackets. You can then follow this link, and it will automatically take you to a page where you can select Edit.

Starting a page from a search

If you perform a search (as you should have done before) with the Go button and coming up with nothing, pressing "create the page".

Starting a page by editing the URL

Entering the URL for a page that has not been created will still display a regular page.

The page at that URL will display the default blank page. The new page will still have the usual edit link, which will allow anyone to begin adding content.

So a "broken link" from within or outside the project is, in a way, not really broken, as long as the first part of it is correct.

Editing the last part of the URL of an existing page (in the same project) is an easy way to create the URL for a new page.
