Help:Starting a new page/sco

Thaur's several waas o stairtin ae new page.

Thir can varie based oan the type o page stairtit, aes weel aes the wiki n namespace.



Uisin Wikilinks
MediaWiki maks it awfa easie tae link wiki pages uisin ae staundart syntax (see ).

Gif ye (or onie ither bodie) cræft ae link til aen airticle that disna exeest yet, the link will be colored reid, like this.


 * Notes:
 * This sample displays that underline style unconditionally. The underline displayed below the text of actual links will 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 dependent on 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.

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.



Fae the rake page
Gif ye rake fer ae page that disna exeest, 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:


 * 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.

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.



Protectin yer new page
Normallie ae new wiki page can be eeditit bi ither fawk (that's yin o the main ideas o ae wiki!)

Houever, aen admeen coud protect the page, gif desired, tae stap normal uisers eeditin it.

Limitations

 * 1) MediaWiki doesn't have tools to present one topic for very specific audience. MediaWiki does not know about this and does not provide additional tools for this. MediaWiki's use in education is very limited after decades...
 * 2) MediaWiki does has few options for visibility and access control. MediaWiki is almost never used in banks and for many commercial purposes after dacades...
 * 3) Authentication is also questionable... Years later, MediaWiki barely supports national identifiers. The developers don't even know about them!

Splitting a topic for no reason
One page ==English alphabet== ===A=== ===B=== ===C=== is better than 26 pages which should have an introduction, links to each other... But it should also be noted that not all topics are as simple, linear, unambiguous and consistent as the English alphabet...
