Step-by-Step

• Click on the contribute button on top right of your wiki. Here you will be presented with a dropdown menu where you will see a link to "Add a Page"

• 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.
  

• Decide between a standard page layout or a blank page. The standard layout provides image and video placeholders as well as section headings. The preload contents for the "Standard layout" are stored at MediaWiki:Createpage-with-video on your wiki and can be edited by local admins.

• A second way to create a page is by clicking on any red link on your wiki (which can be created by linking to a page that does not exist). You will then be brought into edit mode where you can add your content.

Options

The "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences includes options for page creation:

• Use blank page as default for creating a new page - This makes the blank option on the right be the default on the popup.
• Disable Create Page pop-up - If checked, this disables the box for you.
