Wikipedia Help?


How do you create a whole new page on Wikipedia? Like from scratch?

Here are the directions from Wikipedia's help article:

Help:Starting a new page

"Clicking the "Go (try title)" button takes you to an edit page where you can enter the new text, so long as you have set up an account and there is not already an article at that title. The edit page also has a link for Editing help, in case you need it. Other helpful links include Help:Filling the page and Help:Editing. You do not have to always return to this page to create a new article. New pages can also be started by following a link to a non-existent page, which likewise leads to an edit page (see Starting a page through the URL, below). Users are encouraged to be bold when starting a new article.

When creating a new article, you should bear in mind the following:

* The title that you choose is important, as this will be the title of your new article.
* Un-doing mistakes is rarely easier than avoiding them, so it is always a good idea to do a little homework first (see General principles below).
* Remember what Wikipedia is and what Wikipedia is not.
* Check to see if the article you want to create already exists at a similar title.
* If you just want to experiment, use the sandbox first.
"

Why what do you have in mind?

Create an account, log in, search for the page you want, and if it does not exist create by typing in the white box.

Just go to a page where you want to link from, edit that by putting brackets around the term. After that you can click on the redlink to go to start the new page.

create a login name.

You have to register and wait for a few days. Make sure you read the Wikipedia policies in the meantime so that you don't create an article that is not appropriate for Wikipedia (for example, an article about yourself or your band).
