''The Willipedia board is well aware that this page isn't very helpful now. Please do post your questions here, and be aware that we are working on a comprehensive page for this and other guiding necessities. We will post notice when we have made substantial improvements.''
'''Where should questions about Willipedia be directed?'''
<email>wiki@wso.williams.edu</email> Alternately, you may add your question to this page if you think seeing the answer is in the interest of the public.
'''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 general users cannot delete a page because deleting a page removes all of that pages edit history, which makes reversion or further improvement of that page possible. Where possible, we should improve pages rather than annihilate them in this way. Currently, only members of the Willipedia board have the power to delete, and use it sparingly.
'''How do I add a page?'''
To add a page, you must first link it from another page. For instance, if you want to add a page about your club, add the club name to, for instance, the [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/List_of_student_groups list of student groups]. In general, go to an existing page that is related to the page you want to add. Put in something about the page you want to add, including the exact title of the page you want to create. Put that title in double square brackets. Click Save page at the bottom, and then you will see the text of your title in red on the preexisting page. Click on that, and edit away; now you have your new page.
