Uisin Wikilinks
MediaWiki maks it awfa easie tae link wiki pages uisin ae staundart syntax (see Links). Gif ye (or onie ither bodie) cræft ae link til aen airticle that disna exeest yet, the link will be colored reid, like this. If you (or anyone else) create a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be colored red, like this.

Clapin ae reid link will tak ye til the eedit page fer the new airticle. Simplie type yer tex, clap hain n the new page will be cræftit. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created.

Yince the page haes been cræftit, the link will chynge fae reid til blue ( purple fer pages that ye'v veesitit) indicatin that the airticle nou exeests.

Uisuallie this is the best waa tae cræft ae new page, cause it means that richt fae the stairt, the page will be linkt fae at least yin ither steid oan the wiki (n tipicalie ye'll want tae mesh it intil ither relatit pages later). Gif ye'r cræftin ae new page wioot cræftin onie link til it, ye micht need tae thik til yersel: Dis this page reallie fit in wi the topeecs awreadie covered in the wiki? Foreby, hou ar ye expectin veesiters tae fynd this page? Normallie thaur's nae raison tae cræft ae page wioot first cræftin ae reid link til it. 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? 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.

Fae the rake page

Clapin the "" page tab at the tap o the page will tak ye til the eedit page fer that airticle, whaur ye can cræft the new page bi typin yer tex, n clapin haun in. Clicking the "" page tab at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.
