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.
