Deciding where to create your page
Many people choose to draft a page on their own Talk page, then move the result to the desired site. Sometimes there is a good reason for preferring to do it in the final location. If that is the case, consider using before your content {{Construction}} which will display
Under Construction
Wiki Structure
For the convenience of users we try to avoid creating a structure more than three levels deep, avoiding having to type long paths for page names. For most purposes, the following guide will suffice:
Application
Application/Troubleshooting
Application/xxx-How-To
Application/Manual
Application/Manual/Introduction
Application/Manual/Section_1
Application/Manual/Section_xxx
Workflow
- Navigate to a page, which will contain a link to your new page
- Edit this page and insert a link to a new, not yet existing page like this: [[My New Page]]
- Write a one-line summary of what you changed
- Hit the Preview button and check your work
- Save your edits.
Now the page shows a red colored link to your upcoming page. A click on this link will send you directly to your new page and will open the edit box.
