Description

Learn how to create a page relating to a product you would like to document for review.




Examples

How to design the example page
How to design the toothbrush




Get Started...

Step 1: Check availability

First of all, we need to check if the page does not already exist, therefore you must search the product name to see if a page already exists on our network. If it does not, then great, follow the next step. Try to use precise terminology, in reference to an existing Wikipedia page, for e.g. if keyboard, what type of keyboard, a computer keyboard or musical keyboard, as keyboard may well be too ambiguous. If the page exists, then learn more about how to contribute to a page.



Step 2: Create the page

In the address bar, type the following "wikidesign.world/My page name here" for e.g. "wikidesign.world/How to design the car" and go to the link, upon arrival, then click the create this page link to initiate page creation. (you may type spaces in the link and it must start as followed: How to design the...)



Step 3: Copy the code

Method 1

As you make your page, type "..." and save the page. Then copy the following code into a text editor (ideally Notepad++) and you will have 7 days to write up before adding it to your newly made page. When you are ready to add the code to your page, go to the URL followed by #/editor/0 (for e.g. http://wikidesign.world/How_to_create_the_example_page#/editor/0) and then remove the "..." and paste your code there. Also remember to remove the #In Progress tag above your Author Name H1 Tag too, to finalise your submission.

Method 2

As you make your page, copy the following code into the text area on your newly formed page, from step 2 and then edit it as you like over the next 7 days, as it will allow other authors interested in writing on the same page, to give you time to put your information in there, so they can then write after your 7 day period. Also remember to remove the #In Progress tag above your Author Name H1 Tag too, to finalise your submission when done.

Notes

Note 1: It is important to write your code or edits into your notepad and save it on your computer, to prevent data loss if multiple people are editing the page, versus editing it in page. If using method 2, then remember to copy the entire text box before submission each time, if you are not saving your submissions.

That's all there is to creating your first page. Once you've made your page and have updated it according to our guidelines, we will then review your content and ensure it is kept up to the best standard, allowing other people on the network to contribute to it, as technology, science and the times change, in the years to come. Thank you for contributing to our world.
