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. 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.



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

Copy the following code into a text editor (ideally Notepad++) or directly into your newly created page on edit (New Page URL followed by #/editor/0) - if you choose to copy it to your new page, you may continue editing it over time. If you choose to do it in Notepad, during step 2, type ... and save and when you have done writing up, then you can go to your Page URL followed by #/editor/0 and add the code to it.


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.

Note 2: If you choose to write your code in page, please ensure you complete your entry within 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.

Note 3: If you create a page relating to a product that already exists on our network, it will more than likely be deleted, therefore it is important to check if the product exists; if the product exists, you can at least learn how to contribute to a page instead.

Note 4: Once you have completed your entry, then you can remove the #In Progress tag written above your H1 Author Name tag.

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.
