Creating Pages

Starting a new wiki page on Steve the Noob Wiki only requires a few clicks, and additionally, it is a great way to help and contribute to the wiki and educate others on the Diary of Steve the Noob series. This page will teach you how to create your own page and will walk you through the basics of making that very page.

## Step 1: Create a page

1. You may do any of the following to create a page:

* **Method 1:**
	1. Look to the top right corner of your screen, at the right side of the navigation bar.
	2. Press the 'Add' button (or 'Add New Page' if you are anonymous), symbolized by the paper icon beside it.
	3. A box titled "Create a new Article" should appear.
	4. Choose the title of the page - it can be any character, location, event, item, class, book or more, as long as someone else hasn't already done it. Alternatively, you may select one of the red titles below and begin writing.
* **Method 2:**
	1. Go to the Steve the Noob wiki's main page, and check out the "Browse" section.
	2. Open up the character or location bar in the "People and Places" tab, or the Books bar in the "Books and Artwork" tab.
	3. Click on the red page name you would like to work on.
	4. This should open up a "Create a new Article" box. Press next to continue.
* **Method 3:**
	1. Go to any Steve the Noob wiki page.
	2. If you find red text, click on it.
	3. This should open up a "Create a new Article" box. Press next to continue.

## Step 2: Add an introduction

The name you choose will be at the end of your page's URL. From this, you may start a new page.

The first thing you must do here is to make an introduction, which will present the entity you are talking about very clearly. Describe it and why it is important, including any facts the reader must know. Make sure not to include any unnecessary information.

Check Steve's page - it is a good example. It doesn't have to be very long and in-depth, however. It can be quite short, just like the page of the Fortress.

The next step is to insert an infobox. Press the "Insert", then "Infobox" buttons at the top of the screen. This should give you a list of infoboxes to insert. Choose the one which relates most to the page (i.e. class, event, character), then fill out the requirements. On the right side is an example of an infobox.

## Step 4: Create sections

You have to add sections in order to create a proper structure for the article, which often relates to the subject in question. Commonly, you'd want sections such as the history of a person or location, or the certain abilities of a class. You can also look at other formatted pages as a layout for larger sections. Here is a list of possible sections for certain articles.

* If your subject is a character, add:
	1. Appearance
	2. Background
	3. History
	4. Skills and Abilities
	5. Trivia

* If your subject is a location, add:
	1. General Information
	2. Background
	3. History
	4. Trivia

* If your subject is a class, add:
	1. Appearance
	2. Transforming conditions
	3. Skills and Abilities
	4. General Equipment
	5. Trivia

## Step 5: Fill sections

Insert sections with their respective information. Try to follow the formula of writing from some of the more complex pages. Place paragraphs to separate the bodies of text. Don't forget to check your grammar! Add images by pressing the icon at the top, upload and make sure the readers won't be bored just reading.

And you're done! After putting finishing touches, click the "Save page" button to put your page on the wiki.
