Making a NEW page

This page will teach you how to create a new page on this Wiki from scratch.

Make an Account

If you don't have an account yet, what's stopping you?!? This wiki does not take kindly to anonymous writers/editors. So lets give credit where credit is do, and just sign up for an account. It doesn't take too long. Probaly a minute... Anyways, if you're scared about your identity, don't worry, it's just a screen name.

Where's the NEW button

Unfortunately, there's is no NEW button. So how does one create a page like thing one? There are many ways to create a new page, but the easiest way that I can think of is bumping off of an existing page. Wiki-webpages already have software to help you craft your own personal website. So no experience is needed. Let's start off with an easy example of this.

Creating a WIKI profile (Please do this only if you've crossed) Normally the heading for your class will already have been made. If you want to be the first in your class to do so, do the following:

1) Go into the and click on the edit link in the top-middle tab.

2) In bold text write the quarter, year, and the name of your class name.

example: Fall 2006 Kate Westlake

3) On you WIKI-toolbar, right next to the italics button, you'll see the link to make an internal link. Click on it, it'll look something like this.

[[link]]

Write your name where is says " link "

4) After you have done so, save right after you're done. 5) Go back to Memberlist and click on your name, and you will enter another edit window. 6) Customize your page to your hearts delight.

From here on, you should be able to make page after page after page!

Before Making a New Page

Before making a new page, make sure you do the following:

• Check to see if the article you want to create does not already exist. Search for it and look through the categories mentioned below.
• Check to see if the page you want to make fits in one of the categories on this page: Special:Categories
• If you believe it fits into a category, put it into the category (e.g. Chapter Awards) by putting the following at the bottom of your page:

[[Category:Chapter Awards]]

• The Wiki's article titles are case-sensitive, so capitalization matters. It is helpful to have a conventional method of titling articles for consistency, so title your article as you would title a real article, or an essay. Start words with capital letters, and use lowercase for short prepositions like "to" or "of".
  • Good Title: How to Edit a Page
  • Bad Title: How to edit a page (this title would serve better as a redirect page to the above title)
• If an article has little content, seems incomplete, or is formatted inconsistently from similar articles, mark it as a stub.
• If you want to use an image, please upload it to the Wiki by clicking "Upload file" on the toolbox to the left. This is better than linking directly from Facebook, Photobucket, or other external sites because those links can stop working. Uploaded files can also be put into thumbnails, which will make your page look much nicer!
