Help:New page

Starting a new page on Wikia takes only a couple of clicks and is an important part of contributing to a community. 

Step by step

 * Click on the "Contribute" button on top right of your wikia. Here you will be presented with a dropdown menu where you will see a link to "Add a Page".

 * The "Create a new article" box will open.
 * You can choose the article name by typing it in the box. This name will become the last part of the page's URL.

 * Decide between a standard page layout or a blank page. The standard layout provides image and video placeholders as well as section headings. The preload contents for the "Standard layout" are stored at  on your wikia and can be edited by local admins.

 * A second way to create a page is by clicking on any red link on your wikia (which can be created by linking to a page that does not exist). You will then be brought into the editor where you can add your content.

Options
The "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences includes options for page creation:


 * Use a blank page as default for creating a new page - this makes the 'Blank page' option the default on the 'Create a new article' box.
 * Disable "Create a new article" flow  - if checked, this disables the box for you.
