Help:Starting a New Page
From ColorWiki
These are pages that help you learn how to get around in the ColorWiki and add & edit pages and the like.
If you instead need help with a color management topic, go to the ColorWiki Home page.

There are several ways to start a new page:
Using Wikilinks
ColorWiki makes it very easy to link wiki pages together using a standard syntax (see Links). If you (or anyone else) creates a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be coloured red, like this.
Clicking a red link, will take you to the edit page for the new article. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created.
Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue (purple for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.
Using the URL
You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:
http://www.colorwiki.com/index.php/ARTICLE
orhttp://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/ARTICLE
If you replace ARTICLE
with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "edit" page tab at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.
