Starting a new article on wiki takes only a couple of clicks. There are three methods for doing this.

1. Click the add page button on your wiki's homepage (shown in first picture).
2. Click on any red link on your wiki (which can be created by linking to a page that does not exist).
3. If you are already reading an article, click the add page button to the side of the article (shown in second picture.)

• 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 an image place holder and section headings.

Changing the standard layout

The preload contents for the "Standard layout" are stored at MediaWiki:Newpagelayout on your wiki.

Options

The choices in Special:Preferences

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

• Use blank page as default for creating a new page - This makes the blank option on the right be the default on the popup.
• Disable Create Page pop-up - If checked, this disables the box for you.
