These can vary based on the type of page started, as well as the wiki and namespace.

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.


 * Notes:
 * This sample displays that underline style unconditionally. The underline displayed below the text of actual links will be normally be hidden by default and made visible only when the link is hovered by the mouse or selected by keyboard navigation, if the wiki (or the user's preferences) uses the default MediaWiki styles.
 * The actual color of links is also dependant of the default wiki styles, and the design of Wiki pages may still override these default colors.

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
Gif ye rake fer ae page that disna exeest (uisin the rake list n “” button oan the cair o the page) than ye'll be gien ae link fer tae cræft the new page.

Uisin the URL
Ye can uise the wiki's URL fer tae cræft ae new page. The URL til aen airticle o the wiki is uisuallie sommit like this:

The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:


 * or

Gif ye replace  wi the name o the page that ye wish tae cræft, than ye'll be taen til ae blank page that indicates that nae airticle o that name exeests yet. 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.

Using article creation template
Copy the following text into a page in the wiki:

This generates a box where users can simply type the article title and generate a page with that name.

This allows unexperienced editors to easily create pages.

Cræft reguidals til yer new page
Dinna ferget tae set up reguidals whan ye cræft ae page. Gif ye think anither person micht rake fer the page that ye'v cræftit bi uisin ae differant name or speelin, please cræft the richt reguidal(s). See Help:Reguidals.

If you think another person may search for the page you've created by using a different name or spelling, please create the proper redirect(s).

See Help:Redirects.

Protectin yer new page

However, a sysop could protect the page, if desired, to prevent normal users from editing it.
