(updated to reflect restoration of Page Creator page)
Line 1:
There are fourfive ways to create a new page at All The Tropes:
 
;'''1. Click on a pre-existing [[Red Link]].''':This will immediately open an edit window for creating the page.
Line 14:
;'''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]].
