Help:New page

Starting a new page on Fandom takes only a couple of clicks and is an important part of contributing to a community. This page will walk you through the basics.

Instructions

• Click on the Add new page button in theheader shortcuts at the top right of the page. Note that this option is only available tologged-in users, either as an option in the dropdown menu by hovering over the three vertical dots, or as an empty page icon when visiting a community that does not haveDiscussions enabled.
• The "Create a new article" box will open.
• You can choose the article name by typing it in the box. This name will become the last part of the page's URL. You will also be given suggestions to create pages that are linked to but do not yet exist, or pages that did exist but got deleted, known as "wanted pages".

Additional methods

In addition to the add button in the top right, there are a few more ways to create a new page:

• Clicking on a link leading to a nonexistent page.
• Use aSpecial:CreatePage link, which can be added to a community anywhere wherewikitext works.^[1]
• Using anyinputboxes that exist on a community. A local community may have added inputboxes, possibly in the Project namespace, to create a page with a preloaded layout. Local communities should direct users to these inputboxes if preferred.
• Go to a page name that hasn't been created yet, i.e.,https://wikiname.fandom.com/wiki/New_page_name and click the CREATE or EDIT button on the upper right.
• Typing a non-existing page title inSpecial:EditPage.
