Help:Create New Page

You can quickly create a new page at the Getting Started on the wiki is now easier than ever. Please note that you will have to log-in to the wiki with your CWL before you can create or edit the UBC Wiki.

Before You Begin

Make sure that any pages you create are in the right space of the wiki. For example, course related material should go in the Course space. If you're not sure what space your page belongs in, you might want to check out this helpful chart. The Sandbox is a good place to begin and you can always move or rename your page later. The namespace prefix (such as Course:) should be left in the input form. Please see Help:Namespaces for more information on how the UBC Wiki is organized.

To create a subpage using the below forms, write the name of the parent page, add a forward slash, and then the name of the child page (the proper syntax is Prefix:Parent Page/Child page). Please note the page titles are case sensitive. Please see Help:Subpages for more info.

This form loads an infobox template to help organize your course page. You can delete the infobox code if you do not wish to use it.
