Help:Start a new page

There are numerous ways to begin a new page or, alternatively, to simply begin editing a blank page.

Creating a page from scratch:
 * 1) There are a number of actions you can take that can bring up a page that allows you to create a new page.


 * If you want to create a page that fits within the structure of existing pages, go the url of an existing page (or any page in a grouped set of pages) and type in a logically related page name. Example: I am viewing a page about ant nests and the existing URL is http://antwiki.org/antnests/ground and see there is no page about arboreal nests. Replace the word ground with arboreal in the URL, like so http://antwiki.org/antnests/arboreal . Then hit enter and you will be presented with a page with the following text: There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or edit this page. Click on any of the letters in the ending phrase "edit this page" and it will open a new page where you can add content.
 * You can use the same method as given above to create a page that does not fall within an existing page hierarchy. This is what you want, for example, when you begin a regional list for an area of the world where no one else has created any pages, e.g., http://antwiki.org/mars or http://antwiki.org/mars/isidis-planitia
 * You search using the search box in the upper left of the AntWiki site but discover no one has made a page with the content you want. First apply a little creative thinking to your "no page found" dilemma, being sure to search in a way that insures you have checked that someone else has not created this content on a page with a similar name or with other related content. If there is no content about your search term, the no page found message allows you to click on an "edit this page" link.
