;'''4. Type the new URL directly into your browser.''':In your browser's address edit field, enter <code><nowiki>https://allthetropes.org/wiki/</nowiki></code> followed by the name of the page you want to create (like so: <code><nowiki>https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Your Page Name Here</nowiki></code>) and hit Enter. Just like the "new category" example in item 1 above, this will bring up a new page that will tell you the page you want has no text in it, and will offer the options to search for it elsewhere or create the page, all of which will be [[Blue Link]]s. Click the "create this page" link to [[Captain Obvious|create the page]].

At one time we had a special page called the "Page Creator" which would allow you to enter a new name and then directly open an edit window pre-populated with a [[All The Tropes:Page Templates|page template]], but we have not yet re-implemented that feature. Rest assured that when it does go back online, it will be included here.
;'''5. Use the [[All The Tropes:ATT Page Creator|Page Creator]].''':This is a special page where you can simply pick one of a few basic kinds of pages, enter the name you want, and go directly to an edit window pre-populated with a [[All The Tropes:Page Templates|page template]]. Currently it provides shortcuts to new index, work and trope pages (although the [[Trope Workshop]] should generally be used for new tropes); it also provides a shortcut to a non-specific new page (where you need to select the desired template).
