ARTICLE UNDER CONSTRUCTION - PLEASE HELP AS I AM NOT TOO WIKI SAVVY

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:
Many people in the United States have family pets and [[dogs]] and cats are among the most popular.
  • This will produce:
Many people in the United States have family pets and dogs and cats are among the most popular.
  • Click on the red link, and you will be taken to a new page named "dogs", which you can begin editing.
(You can try it by clicking on the red "dogs" above, but please don't save it. If you do, a sysop will delete it.)

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.
