	== ~~How to~~ create pages? ==		== Who can create pages? ==
			On LabVIEW Wiki, anyone with a user account can create and edit pages. If you don't have a user account, [[Special:CreateAccount\|create one now]]. If you have a user account, [[Special:UserLogin\|login]] to start creating pages.

	~~There are multiple ways~~ to create new ~~pages on LabVIEW Wiki~~.		== When to create pages? ==
			You should only create pages if your contribution isn't covered by any existing page. Before you create a new page, use the search box to check if a similar page already exists.

	~~=== Using Wikilinks ===~~		Do not create empty pages.

	~~[[Help:Links\|Wikilinks]]~~ are ~~links that point~~ to ~~a page~~ on ~~the same wiki:~~		== How to create pages? ==
			There are multiple ways to create pages on LabVIEW Wiki.

	* Links to ~~existing~~ pages appear <span style="color: #0645ad"><u>blue</u></span>.		=== Using Wikilinks ===
	* Links to non-existing pages appear <span style="color: #ba0000"><u>red</u></span>.		A [[Help:Links\|wikilink]] is an internal link to pages on the same wiki. Wikilinks may appear <span style="color: #0645ad"><u>blue</u></span> if a page exists, and <span style="color: #ba0000"><u>red</u></span> if a page does not exist. Selecting a red link will open the ''create'' page with which the page can be created.

	~~The~~ red link ~~points to a~~ ''create'' page with which the page can be created ~~the same way as [[Help:Editing pages\|editing existing pages]]~~.

	~~=== Using the URL ===~~

	~~You can manually~~ write the URL to ~~create~~ a new page: <code><nowiki>~~http~~://labviewwiki.org/wiki/</nowiki>'''PAGE'''</code>		=== Using an URL ===
			Manually write the URL to a new page in the format <code><nowiki>https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/</nowiki>'''PAGE'''</code>, where <code>'''PAGE'''</code> is the title of the page to create. If the page doesn't exist, a ''create'' page will appear with which the page can be created.

	Replace <code>'''PAGE'''</code> with the name of the page you wish to create and hit enter to access the ''create'' page with which the page can be created the same way as [[Help:Editing pages\|editing existing pages]].		=== From the "Search results" page ===
			Use the search box to search for a page. If there is no match, LabVIEW Wiki automatically adds a link to the ''create'' page with which the page can be created.
	=== From the "Search" ~~results~~ page ===

	If ~~a search finds~~ no ~~matches~~, LabVIEW Wiki automatically ~~links~~ to a ''create'' page with which the page can be created ~~the same way as [[Help:Editing pages\|editing existing pages]]~~.

	~~== Using the URL ==~~		There are multiple ways to create new pages on LabVIEW Wiki.
	~~You can use the wiki's URL for creating a~~ new ~~page~~. ~~The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:~~
	~~<code>~~

	~~<nowiki>http://labviewwiki.org/wiki/</nowiki>'''ARTICLE'''</code><br>~~		=== Using Wikilinks ===

	~~If you replace <code>'''ARTICLE'''</code> with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken~~ to a ~~blank~~ page ~~which indicates that no article of that name exists yet.

	~~If you try~~ to ~~find an article page that doesn't exist (using the search box at the top of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page~~.		* Links to non-existing pages appear <span style="color: #ba0000"><u>red</u></span>.

	~~== Create redirects~~ to ~~your new~~ page ==		The red link points to a ''create'' page with which the page can be created the same way as [[Help:Editing pages\|editing existing pages]].
	~~Don't forget to setup~~ [[Help:~~Redirect~~\|~~redirects~~]] ~~when you create a page. If you think another person may search for the page you've created by using a different name or spelling, please create the proper redirect(s)~~.

	~~An Example of a redirect: [[labview]] --> [[LabVIEW]]~~		=== Using the URL ===

	To create a ~~redirect, the~~ '''~~first line~~''' ~~of the page should read~~		You can manually write the URL to create a new page: <code><nowiki>http://labviewwiki.org/wiki/</nowiki>'''PAGE'''</code>
