Help:Starting
From LOST
If you want to jump in at the deep end and start an article from scratch there are currently several ways.
Contents |
[edit] Starting a Topic
[edit] Red Links
If you come across any red links, they are links which do not currently have an article associated with them. By clicking on the red link, you can start that article. Once the article has been made, the link will turn blue.
[edit] Web Address
Another way to start a topic is to enter the wiki address in the address bar and add the new topic title to the end of the address. If you want to start a topic about lions, you would type the following into the address bar:
- http://lost.wikia.com/wiki/Lions
Unlike with usual website addresses you can add spaces to the topic title at the end of the address. So if you want to make a topic about African lions you would type the following into the address bar:
- http://lost.wikia.com/wiki/African lions
[edit] The Search Bar
By typing the name of a new article into the search bar, a list of similar articles will come up. Above that list, there will be a red link with the new article's name. Clicking on that will take you to the article's new page.
