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, create one now. If you have a user account, login to start creating pages.
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.
Do not create empty pages.
How to create pages?
There are multiple ways to create pages on LabVIEW Wiki.
Using Wikilinks
A wikilink is an internal link to pages on the same wiki. Wikilinks may appear blue if a page exists, and red if a page does not exist. Selecting a red link will open the create page with which the page can be created.
Using an URL
Manually write the URL to a new page in the format https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/PAGE, where PAGE 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.
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.
