== Using the URL ==
You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:
*<code><nowiki>http://www.my-wiki.org/index.php/</nowiki>'''ARTICLE'''</code> or*<code><nowiki>http://www.my-wiki.org/wiki/</nowiki>'''ARTICLE'''</code> If you replace <code>'''ARTICLE'''</code> with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "''edit''" [[Help:Navigation#Page Tabs|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. == From the search page ==If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box and 'go' button on the left of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page. (Note that this technique doesn't work if you use the 'search' button). == Using the Inputbox extension =={{Admin tip|tip=You need to download and install the [[meta:Inputbox|"inputbox extension"]] for this method to work.}}If the Inputbox extension is available on the wiki you can start a new page by typing in your article's name and clicking the "create article" button, as in the example below.{| align="center" style="border:1px solid black" width="60%"|<inputbox>type=createwidth=45</inputbox>|} == Create redirects to your new page == Don't forget to setup redirects when you create a page. 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). To create a redirect, the '''first line''' of the page should read <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Destination]]</nowiki> where Destination is the page to which people should be redirected. This must appear as the very first line of the page. == Protect your new page == If desired, once you create your new page, you should protect the page and allow only the type of users you would like to edit the page.
