How to create a new Page

There are several ways to start a new page. These can vary based on the type of page started, as well as the wiki and namespace.

If you (or anyone else) creates a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be colored red, like this.

Clicking a red link, will take you to the edit page for the new article. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created. Please make sure to follow the Help:Guidelines so that the wiki has a uniform look and feel in order to help those who use it.

Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue (purple for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.

Usually this is the best way to create a new page, because it means that right from the start, the page will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki (and typically you will want to mesh it into other related pages later) If you are creating a new page without creating any link to it, you may need to ask yourself: Does this page really fit in with the topics already covered in the wiki? Also, how are you expecting visitors to find this page? Normally there is no reason to create a page without first creating a red link to it.

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:

 *http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=ARTICLE    or 
*http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/ARTICLE

If you replace ARTICLE 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 "create" 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.

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).

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)
