To create a new article: Creating an article is a four step process.

  1. Make sure you're logged into Willipedia
  2. Make a link to the article you want to create. You need to edit an existing article to do so. You can either edit a related article, or, if there's not one, add your link to Miscellaneous articles. Just enclose the word(s) you want to be the title in double brackets [[like this]]. Save the page.
  3. Click on the link you created.
  4. You'll see a big white box. Type the article into there, and when you're done, click "Save page".
