+== Creating a Page ==
+To create a page, follow these steps:
+#First, think: does my page stay within the realm of the Wiki? That is to say, is it important enough or part of what the Wiki covers? Check with the wiki's {{sew|Coverage|coverage policy}} before creating pages. This way, you don't create a page that is meant to be redirected to an affiliated wiki.
+#If you deem it acceptable, '''CHECK THE WIKI TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PAGE DOESN'T ALREADY EXIST.''' This includes alternate spellings, alternate capitalization, and alternate possible names. For example, [[Cooking Mama]] is an existing article whereas [[Cooking mama]] counts as a different article, and may be a source of possible confusion in creating an article. Use the search feature as much as possible!
+#If you're sure that your article doesn't exist, search for it on the Wiki. When no results appear, you will see text stating that you can create the page in question. Click it, and create the page, making sure to stay within the Wiki's {{sew|Quality Standards|Quality Standards}}. If all is well and good, save the page.
+:*'''Note:''' Clicking on a red link will also take you to a "create this page" screen.
+'''Summary''':
+#Figure out if your topic deserves its own page
+#Find out whether or not it already exists
+#Create the page using the search function's "create this page" link

-#First, think: does my page stay within the realm of the Wiki? That is to say, is it important enough or part of what the Wiki covers? An article about "Sora" is acceptable as it is related to ''Kingdom Hearts'', which is a "Square Enix" franchise; an article about "Orange Soda" is not, because it is not related to ''Square Enix" in any way.
