* Click on the "dog link", and you will be taken to a page named "dog".
Now supposing you want the highlighted word in the sentence that links to the new article to be different than the new article's title. For example, supposing in the existing Conservapedia article titled [[Aristide Briand]] you want to create a article titled "Prime Ministers of France" but the phrase in the sentence you want to use is somewhat or vastly different. In the example we will use the phrase will be slightly different.
*Here is an example of how you would do it:
::<nowiki>Aristide Briand was a [[Prime Ministers of France|Prime Minister of France]].</nowiki>
*This will produce:
::Aristide Briand was a [[Prime Ministers of France|Prime Minister of France]].
*Click on the "Prime Minister of France link" and you will be taken to a page named "Prime Ministers of France"

Please put one or more [[category tag]]s at the bottom of your new Conservapedia article.
Please categorize the article by putting appropriate [[Conservapedia:category tag|category tag]]s at the bottom of the new entry.
== Templates ==
To create a template page, follow the instructions above, but do one of the following:
* Precede the name with the word "template" and a colon. For example, to create a template called "my template", type the link like this:{{tt|<nowiki>[[template:my template]]</nowiki>}}.
* Type the name in curly brackets (without the "template:" prefix), thus: {{tt|<nowiki>{{my template}}</nowiki>}}. ''NB: This will not work for the search box method.''
For further instructions on writing templates, see [[Help:Creating templates|Creating templates]].
