To add Important: before creating a new page, you must first link it from another page. The first thing to do is to should search the wiki for the term you want to be the title of your page; if it already exists, you can put double square brackets around the word, and then 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. In general, go there's no need to an existing page that is related to the page you want to addrecreate it. Put in something about the page you want (Be sure to add, including check for the exact same title of the page with different capitalization; this should happen automatically when you want to create, and put that in square brackets. Then do as abovesearch.)

You don't. You can edit a page, you can even delete all the text on a page, but general normal users cannot actually delete a page because . The reason for this restriction is that deleting a page removes all of that pages page's edit history, which makes reversion or further improvement of that page impossible. Where possible, we 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>. ==Formatting questions==
