# Go to the page you want the new page to be linked ''from''.
* {{l/sub|page types}} and how to format them
# 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>
* [[Help:Sandbox]]: put whatever you want on this page, delete it, move it, whatever -- for tests and experiments
# 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.
