Before you start to develop a topic, check to see if the page already exists:
- Use the Search box at the upper right
You can also look for similar pages:
- Check the Page index
- Check the Contents
- Check the Category list
(You can also fimd these links in the left sidebar.)
If the page exists, feel free to collaborate in its development; or, develop a sister page.
To create a new page, first identify the category that you will use. If you feel you need a new category or sub-category page, please contact support@wikisea.net.
Tutorial
To practice, create your own bio page.
If you check the Contents you eill find a category. Select it and you will see it has a page name Category:People. Remember this.
Now, in the search box at upper right type your name in Camel case Use a middle initial to minimse conflict with similar names. Your name should look like this: JohnADoe. Or, you can use a your full name like JohnAlfredDoe.
Next, in the browser'sSecond location field you will see a URL a bit like this:
https://www.wikisea.net/w/index.php?title=GettingStarted&action=edit
Or this:
https://www.wikisea.net/w/index.php/Main_Page
Whichever, you want to type in the name of your page after the "index.php/" so your location looks like this:
https://www.wikisea.net/w/index.php/YourPageNane
Be sure to use your actual desired page name. :)
With your cursor still in the location field, press Enter and the page will be created.
