Before creating a new article first do a check using the search feature at Conservapedia. You can also look at the category tags for related articles to see if an article already exist for this subject.

There are at least three ways of starting a new article.

From the search results

When you do a search for the article and no article appears there will be a message stating that there is no page with the title for your proposed article and that "You can create this page". Simply click on the red portion of this message and then create your article.

Create a link

Create a link to the new article within the text of an existing article. Suppose you want to create an article about mans' best friend.

  • Edit an existing article to create a link. For example:
William Butterworth owned a [[dog]] and cat.
  • This will produce:
William Butterworth owned a dog and cat.
  • Click on the "dog link", and you will be taken to a page named "dog".

Create a temporary link

As for the previous method, create a link within an existing page, but click on the link in a preview window and don't actually save the page with the temporary link.

Categories

Please put one or more category tags at the bottom of your new Conservapedia article.
