Create a New Page

2. Click on the link that says "this exact title" link at the top of the page.

3. A page will display that says: "editing {New Page Name}".

4. Paste or type content (in your own words) for your article in the textbox.

5. Click the "Save page" button... and wiki wiki!! You've created a new web page!

Formatting

You may find a cheat sheet for formatting your articles on Wikipedia: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Cheatsheet-en.pdf

If you know how to create a page in HTML, you can also copy and paste your HTML code instead.
