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

First of all, copy this code "?action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:CreatePage". Then in the address bar, type the following "wikidesign.world/My page name here" then paste the copied code at the end of it, for e.g. "wikidesign.world/How to design the car?action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:CreatePage" and go to the link, upon arrival, you may start editing the page and remember to save it when you've added some basic content to it. To go back into editor mode after saving, go to the link and add the following code at the end of it "#/editor/0" for e.g. "wikidesign.world/How to design the car#/editor/0" and you may continue editing it.


Notes
