What do you want to do?




extending a page

Open the page you want to extend in another tab or window. Click on edit. You can now add information. Don't forget to click on save when you're done.

You can find more information about editing pages here.



adding pages with more detailed information

If you add new pages, it is usually best to make sure that another page links to the new page first.

Go to the main page about the subject that you want to add a new page for. For example, you want to add a page about the grammar of your language 'Plutonian', then open the general page about 'Plutonian' in a new tab or window.

Click on edit.

Add a new section (in the appropriate place), for example: 'Grammar of Plutonian':

==Grammar of Plutonian==

Next, add:

{{Main Article|Grammar of Plutonian}}

(In both cases replacing 'Grammar of Plutonian' with an appropriate title, of course.)

Below that, add some short description. You can always return later to do that, of course.

Click on save.

The page should now have a new section, with a link in red to the new page. If you click on that red link, you end up in the editing screen of the new page that you wanted to add.

(If the new link shows up in blue, then that means that the page that you wanted to add already exists.)

There is some more information about page names here.

Alternatively, if you do not want to add a new section, because it is really just a tiny detail that you want to write a new page about, then do something like the following.

For example, on the page about your country 'New Warfum', it is mentioned that the current queen is 'Kloetenstamper III' and you want to add a page about queen Kloetenstamper. Then open the page about 'New Warfum' in a new tab or window and click on edit. If you add double square brackets around a name or word that you want to add a page for then that will be a link. For example,

[[Kloetenstamper III]]

will be a link to a page called 'Kloetenstamper III'.

[[Kloetenstamper III|the current queen of New Warfum]]

will also be a link to a page called 'Kloetenstamper III', but the link will show up as 'the current queen of New Warfum'.

Click on save.

The new link should appear in red on the page. If you click on that red link, you end up in the editing screen of the new page that you wanted to add.

(If the new link shows up in blue, then that means that the page that you wanted to add already exists.)
