Adding A New Page
1. To add a page, first search to see if it already exists by using the search tool. Enter a part of the title of the page. If your page already exists, see if it has the content you'd like to see there. If it doesn't show the text you think ought to be shown, add the appropriate text, or fix what is there.
2. If the page you'd like to work on doesn't exist, type its exact title into the search tool and click "Go."
- You'll see a message that says, "There were no results matching the query."
- The next line will have the words you typed in red
- Click on the red text to start editing the new page you want to create.
- Finish creating the page by scrolling to the bottom and click "Save Page"
- Saving the page completes the creation process. If you don't save, the page will not be created.
