Help:Portal/Creating Articles

Should I Create This Article?
You should only create articles if you have information to put on it. Do not make placeholder articles for anything.

Also do not make articles if the information you have is trivial. This is not a race, we do not allow "First Edit!" attitudes.

Creating Articles
Follow the steps below to create an article.
 * 1) Check if an Article already exists
 * You can use the search box at the top of this window, by clicking on "Search HelloMiners Wiki Project" and typing, or click Special:Search here.
 * 1) If there are no results, you will see a page with a link stating "Create the page on this wikI!"
 * Click it if there are no results, otherwise click the page name you intend to edit and edit it.
 * 1) Make sure you have no namespace selected
 * This is to prevent pages cropping up in "Help:" or other namespaces.
 * 1) Always use the "Show preview" button before submitting the page for saving
 * Try to add as much as possible before saving, so Recent Changes and the Discord channel does not get spammed.
 * 1) Use the Edit Summary box to describe what has been added or changes
 * Example: "Added information on Snowdonia's previous owners."
 * 1) City Districts should be included in the City's wiki page
 * So we don't have 100 pages for each individual city.

Titles
When choosing a title, please Use the proper name for the item being written about and do not include any subtitles.

Redirects
Sometimes, an item is named more than one thing, or is known under another name - for example Monbay and Montego Bay. You can create a redirect using:
 * 1) REDIRECT Page Name

NOTE: Do not make unneeded redirects, such as MB -> Montego Bay.
