|
| Usually this is the best way to create a new page, because it means that right from the start, the page will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki (and typically you will want to mesh it into other related pages later).<br>
| | {{ll|Category:Help}} |
| | |
| If you are creating a new page without creating any link to it, you may need to ask yourself: Does this page really fit in with the topics already covered in the wiki? <br>
| |
| | |
| Also, how are you expecting visitors to find this page? Normally there is no reason to create a page without first creating a red link to it.
| |
| | |
| | |
| === From the search box ===
| |
| | |
| If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box in the top right of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page.
| |
| [[File:Sg1.PNG|thumb|500px|left]] <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| | |
| === Using the URL ===
| |
| | |
| You can also use a URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki usually looks like this:
| |
| | |
| <code><nowiki>https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Game_Modes</nowiki>'''ARTICLE'''</code>
| |
| | |
| If you replace <code>'''ARTICLE'''</code> with the name of the page you want to create, you will be taken to a blank page, indicating that no article of that name exists yet.
| |
| | |
| Clicking the "Create" Tab at the top right of the page (next to the search function) will then take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Formatting ==
| |
| | |
| You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two pairs of apostrophes like <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>.
| |
| | |
| === Text formatting markup ===
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable" | |
| ! width=10% |Description
| |
| ! width=45% | You type
| |
| ! width=45% | You get
