First of all, copy this code "?action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:CreatePage".

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.
  
 
 
 
<h2>Step 3: Copy the code</h2>
 
<h3>Method 1</h3>
 
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.
 
 
<h3>Method 2</h3>
 
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 from the contribution date you add. Also remember to remove the ///In Progress tag above your Author Name H1 Tag too, to finalise your submission when done.

<h3>Notes</h3>
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.

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

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

Note 1: Before submitting/saving the page, remember to copy the entire editor box, in case of data loss by connection or server.

Note 2: You may spend 2 weeks creating your page, before other authors can contribute, so please be mindful of this and remember to add the date when you make the page, so other authors know when they can contribute.

Note 3: We recommend writing up your contribution on your computer in a notepad, to give yourself enough time to write your content.


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.


If you'd like us to make a page on your behalf, we can do this, by emailing your submission to root@wikidesign.world - Refer to an existing page to learn what is required (it could be just addressing a problem and our writers will do the problem solving).
