Starting A New Page
New pages can be created by following a link to a nonexistent page ("red link"). You can search for any existing articles with the same or similar content and create a new page if none exists. In order to create a new page, go to any relevant existing pages, and enclose the word or words in double square brackets [[like this]] and the link will be displayed like this
Test your skills
You can test your editing skills in sand box.
Style
When editing or creating a page, there are no set guidelines as to what the page should look like or how it should be laid out. The following are some ideas, but are not prescriptive rules that need to be followed
Contents Tree Structure
One way to arrange pages is to follow the "Contents Tree Structure". In this style:
- The page will begin with a brief "Synopsis" (summary) of the topic
- The synopsis will be followed by a "Contents" section which will contain
- A "topics" section - following which are a list of related sub-topics
- An opinion section - this is an area to place links to personal opinion articles
- A "quotes" link - where quotes about the topic can be quoted
- The contents section will be followed by the "Main Article" which will contain the bulk of the article in an encyclopedia style format
- The main article section is followed by a "Links" section - this is an area to place links to external websites
- Finally, a "Return to" section to link the topic back to a broader, encompassing topic
Some examples to look at to get a better idea: Justification, Christianity, Essence of Christianity, Love, Matthew 16
