Samsyn:Starta en sida

Starta en sida Instruktionssida

En wiki byggs genom att skapa olika sidor och sedan successivt fylla varje sida med sitt relevanta innehåll som gör att wikin fyller sin funktion.

Starta en ny sida

Alternativ 1:Starta en sida från röd länk

I en wiki är olika sidor inom wikin länkade till varandra via blåa länkar, som ofta kallas wikilänkar. När länkar på wikin inte är blå, utan röda, betyder det att länken går till en sida som ännu inte är skapad. Genom att klicka på den röda länken går det snabbt att skapa sidan med den titeln. När den ändringen är sparad bli länken automatiskt blå och det markerar att en sida har något innehåll.

New page links typically look different from links to existing pages. Depending on settings, a different color or a question mark is used. (Sometimes links to new pages are called "red links", because a common setting is to display them in red).

Links to non-existing pages are common. They are typically created in preparation for creating a new page, and/or to encourage other people to do so. Some people may see the presence of new page links on a page as a sign that the page is broken. However most wikis are intended to be constantly added to, so in this sense a new page link is only an indication that a particular page is needed. New page links are not really broken as long as the name correctly identifies the intended content. (A new page link with a "wrong" or misspelled name, or that duplicates content found under another name is "broken", but in a different sense.)

Links to non-existent pages are created the same way as links to already existing pages. For example, adding [[New page name]] in the wiki editor will create a new page link to the page "New page name".

If there isn't already a new page link to the page you want to create, you can always add such a link yourself. You would add the new page link typically in a related page, an index page or your own user page.

Sometimes it may be better to wait with creating links until after the new page is created, such as when the new link replaces one to an existing page. In such cases, you can create the link but press Preview instead of Save. In the preview area, clicking on the new page link will start you creating the new page. Later you can go back and add the new link again in the referring page (or if you have the preview still open in another tab, finally pressing Save).

Alternativ 2: Starta en ny sida via sökrutan

Another way to start a new page works on many wikis (e.g. the English Wikipedia).

Type the name of the page that doesn't exist in the Search box, and start the search. The search results will say that no such page exists, but on many wikis it will also include a new page link to the page.

Depending on the wiki, the link may say something like:

• Create the page "New page name" on this wiki!
• You searched for new page name
• There is no page titled "new page name". You can create this page.

Click on the link and you will be starting to create the new page.

The text and whether or not there is a link can be different depending on whether you pressed enter, or clicked on Search or Go. ("Go" often works best.)

Some wikis don't give you a new page link after a search. This depends on what the administrators have set the wiki to produce using w:MediaWiki:Nogomatch.
