Create a Page

Available Tools

• Page Layout helps to standardize the look of pages
• Tool Box shows you wiki markup for the effect you need
• Typographical_Guidelines standardizes markup for use in translation, either to official manuals (DocBook) or to other languages.

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

This is a new page, currently under construction!

Wiki Structure

Try to avoid creating a structure more than three levels deep. 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

1. Navigate to a page, which will contain a link to your new page
2. Edit this page and insert a link to a new, not yet existing page like this: [[My New Page]]
3. Write a one-line summary of what you changed
4. Hit the Preview button and check your work
5. 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.
