-# Go to the page you want the new page to be linked ''from''.
-# Click on the ''edit'' tab to edit the page. Add a link to the page you wish to create.
-#: The way to create a link is to place the new page's title in brackets. <nowiki>[[Page title]]</nowiki>
-# Save the page. Your link will show up as a red link which, when clicked, will bring you to an edit page for your new page.
-# Edit and save your new page.
-We are investigating ways to have pages created more easily by filling in a form, which would be especially helpful for maintaining consistency across certain types of pages (e.g. [[:Category:Towns|Town]] pages should all have links to their parent county or country as well as being named according to some kind of rule.
-==Formatting==
-===Lists===
-Edit this section to see the wikicode.
-* Bulleted lists start each line with an asterisk
-* For HTML people: this is like a &lt;ul&gt; list
-** To indent further, repeat the asterisk...
-*** ...like this
-# Numbered lists begin with an octothorpe
-# For HTML people: this is like an &lt;ol&gt; list
-## You can also have numbered sub-lists
-### ...and sub-sub-lists
-## ...without losing the numbering...
-# ...of any of the outer lists.
-: colon just indents a line...
-:: ...without any symbols or anything.
-# A line break will restart the numbering
-** If you do more than one character of additional indent per line,
-**** you get repeated bullets
-#### or numbers
-**** on the same line.
-# You can also...
-#* ...mix and match; as far as I can tell...
-* ...it's the final symbol...
-*# ...which determines how the line is formatted.
-; also:semicolon boldfaces everything up to the first colon, and puts the rest on the next line, indented
-; stuff:this line explains about stuff
-; things:but this line is about things!
-; remember:don't get them confused.
