Creating a new page
There are two ways to create a new page in Wikka:
- Creating a new page from an existing page.
The most common way to create a new page is to EditPageInfo edit an existing page, insert somewhere in the page a pointer to the new page you want to create (either by using a WikiName or a [[double bracket]] internal link) and save it. The link to the new page will be highlighted as a MissingPage missing page. Just clicking on this link will open an editable version of the new page.
- Creating a new page from the browser address field
To create a new page from your browser address field, just type the name of the page (usually a WikiWord) after the Wikka root URL. For instance, to create a new page on this server you just need to type in the browser address field http://wikka.jsnx.com/NewPage.
You should consider that creating a page in this way method leaves the page OrphanedPages orphaned until a link to it from an existing page is created. For this reason, the first method is preferred.Page Creation Test
You can use the following field for testing how to create a new page.
Note: this is just meant as a shortcut for the second method described above.
Tips and guidelines:
- Please use a WikiName that describes your page the best and remember to add the category to which you think it belongs. Check the Categories link above for a list of the existing categories, and WikiCategory for more information.
- It is preferred that page creators register an account before creating pages, but it is not necessary.
- See FormattingRules for details of how to format your writing.
MHM: Allow me to challenge the usefulness of the {{newpage}}-action. I strongly feel any page in a Wiki should always be embedded in the existing structure, so correct approach of creating a new page is to use the new PageName on an existing page and click the empty 'Create this page'-link from there. Allowing people to use {{newpage}} might lead to OrphanedPages, and IMO does not show new users the correct way of using Wikis. -- 5/30/04
