Help:How do I make a new property?
From ENHLDWiki
Create the Page
|
(See also Guide to a basic article.)
Check if it exists
We are keeping the comprehensive property list at Content Index. Please go there to see if 1) a page exists for the property you want to write about, or 2) if a red link to the named, but non-existent page is ready. Either way, just click on it and go.
Type in the Address
To make a new property page, type the address as a link on the Content Index page ("Edit" that page with the tab at top). Place it in its correct alphabetic position by street name. Type the street name first and the number and cardinal direction last. Example: 301 N. Crystal would be entered as [[Crystal 301 N.]] This format may seem strange but it allows the wiki to sort by the street name rather than the street number. So our example would get filed under "C" and appear next to the other Crystals instead of filed under "3" and put in with all the other addresses that happen to begin with the digit 3. Use the real address not the building name, unless the building name is more familiar; then make a redirect from the actual address to that named article. For consistency, please always put a period after an abbreviation, like N. for North.
To make the link display in normal address format, make it like this: [[Crystal 301 N.|301 N. Crystal]], displaying as 301 N. Crystal.
After you make the address link, save the Content Index page. Then click on the new link you just created.
Check the Results
If the link is blue then someone has already started this page. Otherwise you will see a red link, and when you click on it you'll go to a page that says "There is no page titled ':XXXX'. You can create this page.". (You may also be taken directly to an edit box.)
Start the Page
Click the "create this page" link in red. This will take you the correctly titled blank page. Type away. Don't forget to SAVE - click the button below the edit box when you're done, or even when you are partly done, so you don't lose your work. If you save it halfway through, you can then just click the "edit" tab and add more... and more... and more. This is why Dick has so many contributions - type in a thought, save; type another, save; fix a typo, save; and so on.
Add the link
If you did not start this procedure on the Content Index page (for example if you were typing in an existing article and you just created a new address link as you typed), please be sure to add a link to the new property article on the Content Index page.
Format
