Creating a new page by creating a link to it[ | ]

You can start a new page by creating a link to the new page. Links to new pages are created by inserting

[[New page name]]

into a page and saving it (yes, include the double brackets). For example, typing

[[Xbox]]

into a page and saving it, creates a link to a page titled Xbox. Then, click on the link you just made. The page will open for editing.

If a page with that title has already been created, the link you created will be in blue color signifying there is already information within the page. You can then click on it and wou will be directed to the page where you can edit or add information.

If the page does not yet exist, the link will be in red color. Click on it and you will be taken to an empty text box, where you can begin writing the page.
