Creating and Editing New Pages on Wikipedia edit

Hi! I saw your question about how to create and/or edit new pages on Wikipedia. Hopefully this guide will answer your questions.

To edit any editing page, simply click on the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page. Note that some pages may be protected and if so, depending on how the article is protected, you may not be able to edit it immediately.
To create a new page for an article, after checking that a page on the subject does not exist, type
```
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page Name Here
```
where "Page Name Here" (without the quotes) is the name of the page. Remember that Wikipedia names are case-sensiive, and upper-case/lower-case letters are important.
For talk pages, enter
```
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Page Name Here
```
where again, "Page Name Here" (without the quotes) is the name of the article you want to discuss.
To create a new userpage for yourself, just type
```
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Example
```
where "Example" (without the quotes) is your username or IP address, and edit the page as if you were creating or editing a regular Wikipedia article.
For subpages, type
```
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Example/Subpage Name Here
```
where "Example" (without the quotes) is your username and "Subpage Name Here" (without the quotes) is the name of the subpage, and edit this subpage just as you edited your userpage.
Note that it is not a good idea to make a lot of subpages or work on your userpages a lot because your main focus should be on editing Wikipedia.

If you need any help, leave a message on my talk page or the talk page of another user, and whoever you ask will be happy to help you. Most likely, the user you contact will leave messages on your talk page to talk to you. Happy editing!! ~~~
