Creating New Pages
From An Tir Culturewiki
There are two main ways to create a new page.
The best method is by editing another page which will link to the new page. That way the page is not "orphaned", IE: it has something pointing to it, a way that people can click to it from the <A title="Main Page" href="/index.php?title=Main_Page">Main Page</A> on through.
- Edit the relevant existing page
- Create a link to the new page, inside wiki link bars: New Page Name
- Save the page.
- You can now see the new page name, but it is in red - this indicates the page doesn't exist yet. Click on it.
- Create the page and save it.
The second method, which allows you to create an orphan page, is to use the <A title="Sandbox" href="/index.php?title=Sandbox">Sandbox</A>. You may want to intentionally create an orphan page because it will be linked from a Category page instead.
- Go to the sandbox
- Edit the sandbox
- Create a link to the new page, inside wiki link bars: New Page Name
- PREVIEW the page.
- You can now see the new page name, but it is in red - this indicates the page doesn't exist yet. Click on it.
- Create the page and save it.
There is no need in that method to save the Sandbox - you're just tricking the Wiki into creating a link for you.
