Help:Starting a new page
There are several ways to start a new page
Using Wikilinks
LabVIEW Wiki makes it very easy to link wiki pages using a standard syntax (see Links). If you (or anyone else) creates a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be coloured red, like this. Clicking a red link, will take you to the edit page for the new article. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created. Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue indicating that the article now exists.
Using the URL
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:
http://labviewwiki.org/wiki/ARTICLE
If you replace ARTICLE
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. Clicking the "edit" link available on that page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can add the new page content by typing your text, and clicking submit.
From the "Search" results page
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.
Create redirects to your new page
Don't forget to setup 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
To create a redirect, the first line of the page should read #REDIRECT [[Destination]] where Destination is the page to which people should be redirected. This must appear as the very first line of the page.
