Forum:How do I create an article?
I don't know how to create a new article, could you help me?
P.S. Kookaburras are the best assassins to hire. XD
- To create a new page, simply search for it using the search bar, then click the red link near the top of the page. --Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • FFS • WP) 23:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Guys, wouldn't it make sense to add a "Create article" link in the navigation box that leads to a page that has a field where you can enter in the desired title of your article (à la UnNews) in order to make it easier to do as well as avoid having so many noobs ask us how to do it? --

Here's the code for a create button that just makes an article with the title specified in the input box:
<inputbox> type=create buttonlabel=Create! </inputbox>
There's also a MediaWiki extension for 1.9 and a built-in feature in 1.10 called Special:Createarticle and Template:CreateNewArticle --Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • FFS • WP) 23:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I added a tab to my nav box that links to Create an article, which sucks right now so anybody who wants to make it better should do so. I think that "Create article" should be in the default settings for everybody. What say all you? -- 23:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

- I added it to the Community Portal. I'm not really sure how many people ever go to the Community Portal, but hey, at least its there. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 16:50, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I moved the page and added a link to the navigation sidebar.

- To be honest, I don't like that link there. Plus it's not very useful as the vast majority of people can work it out easily, and so isn't useful to very many people. As I said before too, if they can't even be bothered working how how to create an article, are they going to bother learning how to make a good one, or do we have to do that for them too?
- I think it was best just having a link on the community portal. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:20, 24 May 2007
- That's fine with me, but whatever you do, don't put it in the community sidebar, because that looks even worse... and it has very little to do with the Uncyclopedia "community"

- Ok, Zombiebaron moved it to the community sidebar, but I've taken it out altogether. It's probably best being just on the community portal page. Perhaps it could be on the help pages too. And expanded to include info about the different namespaces, and then it might be useful for more people. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 03:46, 24 May 2007

I dunno, there are plenty of people who can figure out how to make pages on their own who consistently make crap, too. I think it would just be more convenient to have right there. It's currently in my personal .js, anyway. -- 05:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
