How do I create a new page?
There are several ways to create a new page:
- Create a link to the page on another page, then click on the red link which appears
- Browse to the intended location of the page, e.g. www.example.com/index.php?title=New_page and click on the edit link.
On some wikis, a failed search for a page will contain a link which allows you to edit that page.
