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

Style

When editing or creating a page, there are no set guidelines as to what the page should look like. The following is a guideline to the layout of a standard page.

{{Infobox_Contents | 
  topic_name = Write Name of Topic Here
[[Image:Insert Relevant Image Here|thumb|center|]] |
  subtopics = List of links to related subtopics |
opinion_pieces = {{short_opinions}}
Bulleted list to specific personal opinion articles and sermons that people have uploaded |
}}

A brief one or two sentence summary of the topic

==Main article==

Main encyclopedia style article give details on the topics

==Quotes==

For famous quotations related to the topic

==Links==

List of useful external links

{{returnto}} [[broader topic of which this page is a subtopic]]

Some examples to look at to get a better idea

Opinion Articles

It is quite acceptable to write an article which argues your opinion in WikiChristian, but this needs to be separate from the main article on a topic. See: Wikichristian:Opinion articles
