You can add a new article by doing one of the following:

  • Search for a term or phrase that doesn't exist; for example, search for "foo".
    1. When you see the message "There is no page titled foo. You can create this page.", click "create this page."
    2. In the "Editing Foo" page, just type text, click the Show preview button to see what it will look like, then click Save page to save the page. Done! (See editing wiki articles.)
  • Click a link that doesn't currently have an article (usually shows up in red); for example, click this: foo.
    1. In the "Editing Foo" page, just type text, click the Show preview button to see what it will look like, then click Save page to save the page. Done! (Please don't create the foo page! Thanks.)
  • Make a link using your intended title on an appropriate page:
    1. Go to a page where you want a link to your new article. For example, if you are User:Jdoe, you could go to your user page (click Jdoe at the very top of this page).
    2. Click the edit tab for that page.
    3. Type a link like this: [[foo]], including the square brackets.
    4. click the Show preview button to see what it looks like, then click Save page to save the page.
    5. Now you have a link without an article--see previous choice.
