Watch to learn how to create a new page

Step by step

• Click on the "Contribute" button on top right of your community. Here you will be presented with a dropdown menu where you will see a link to "Add a Page".

• The "Create a new article" box will open.
• You can choose the article name by typing it in the box. This name will become the last part of the page's URL.

• Decide between a standard page layout or a blank page. The standard layout provides image and video placeholders as well as section headings. The preload contents for the "Standard layout" are stored at MediaWiki:Createpage-with-video on your community and can be edited by local admins.

• A second way to create a page is by clicking on any red link on your community (which is created by linking to a page that does not exist). You will then be brought into the editor where you can add your content.

Options

The choices in Special:Preferences

The "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences includes options for page creation:

• Use a blank page as default for creating a new page - this makes the 'Blank page' option the default on the 'Create a new article' box.
• Disable "Create a new article" flow - if checked, this disables the box for you.
