→General questions: new way to create a new page. "New" meaning "several months ago."
'''How do I add a page?'''
There are two ways to add a page.
# You can create a link to it from another page. Edit the page which will link to your new page, and put in something about the page you want to add, including its exact title enclosed in double square brackets, <code><nowiki>[[like this]]</nowiki></code>. Click "Save page" at the bottom, and you will see a link to your new page included on the existing page. This link will be red, since the new page does not yet exist. Clicking on it will allow you to create your new page.
# Alternatively, put the title of the page you want to create in the text box on the left sidebar of every Willipedia page; then click on "Start this article."
'''How do I delete a page?'''
You don't. You can edit a page, you can even delete all the text on a page, but normal users cannot actually delete a page. The reason for this restriction is that deleting a page removes all of that page's edit history, which makes reversion or further improvement of that page impossible. Where possible, you should try to improve pages rather than annihilate them in this way. Currently, only members of the [[Wiki_board|Willipedia board]] have the power to delete, and use it sparingly. If you think a page should be deleted, you can delete all the text on the page and put the word delete within two sets of curly brackets, like this: <code><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></code>.
