Help:Creating pages

Creating pages on a wiki is fun and easy. There are three ways to create a page on WikiComics.

Method 1: Search
A search that doesn't yield results will show a "create this page" link. Use this link to create the page. Before you create a page, make sure someone hasn't already created a page with a similar title. What you name your page is important (review "page titles" below) so consider your choices.

Editing pages is easy. Advanced editing includes redirecting, deleting, managing, watching, protecting, citing, etc. Step-by-step instructions:
 * 1)  Enter the title of the page in the search field.
 * 2)  Results for your search will be displayed.
 * 3)  If the page you're looking for doesn't exist, select the "create this page" link.
 * 4)  A blank page will be displayed with an edit window.  This is your new wiki page!
 * 5)  Begin editing the page.  Preview your changes using the "Show preview" button.  When you're ready, "Save page."

Method 2: Brackets
Put double brackets around a word or group of words to create a link within an existing page. Once you save the page, the bracketed word will appear in red (red links indicate pages without content). Select the red link to view your new page. What you name your page is important (review "page titles" below) so consider your choices.

Editing pages is easy. Advanced editing includes redirecting, deleting, managing, watching, protecting, citing, etc. Step-by-step instructions:
 * 1)  Edit an existing page by selecting the "edit" tab.
 * 2)  Locate or add the title of your new page within and add double brackets around the word.
 * 3)  Save the page by selecting "Save page."
 * 4)  Your new text will be displayed as a red hyperlink (red links indicate pages without content).
 * 5)  Select the red link.  A blank page will be displayed with an edit window.  This is your new wiki page!
 * 6)  Begin editing the page.  Preview your changes using the "Show preview" button.  When you're ready, "Save page."

Method 3: Direct URL Entry
Enter the URL of your new page directly in your browser. All WikiComics page titles are displayed after the WikiComics domain name. For example:
 * www.wikicomics.com/Batman
 * www.wikicomics.com/User:Frank
 * www.wikicomics.com/WikiComics:Comics Expo '99 Coming Up!
