Help:New pages

Here's how to create and make useful pages:

How to Create
To create a new page, click on a link to a page that doesn't exist yet. You can also create pages by entering them into the search box and clicking Go. Note that the first letter of every page will be capitalized. You may also see Special:Wantedpages to see pages that need creation. When choosing, be wise and use your judgement to tell whether that red link needs a page. Be sure to make the article name singular unless the article refers to a group of characters or items. Creating a large amount of short pages is not encouraged.

What Pages to Create
Although page creation can be done by any User, the page created must be significant to MarioWiki. For example, a page on "Ball" or "Sheep" would be deleted because they are not needed pages on MarioWiki. Creating non-sensical pages such as "ASDFG" will be deleted immediately and may be considered Vandalism.

Now, what pages should you create? Pages that relate to the Marioverse and are basically things you could not find in a regular dictionary. There are a few exceptions such as terms like Player or Characters. If you are unsure on whether a page should be made, discuss it at MarioWiki talk:Pipe Plaza.

What to Do Before Creating a Page
Be sure to add categories to the pages before you create them. If you are not sure on what categories to add, see Special:Categories for a list of categories. Also see Help:Expanding Articles.

Made a page for an article but don't know much about it? Add to the bottom of the page.

Be sure to use the correct first sentence structure:

  is/are ..... that appear(s) in insert game here.

What to Do After Creating a Page
It is preferred that you replace all previously unlinked articles with the same name as the page to be linked by placing and  on both sides. See Help:Link for more information.
