[edit] re:

Hello! I have a question or two... I understand how to 'add a new page' when clicking on a link that brings you to a 'this page doesnt exist' page. But I cant figure out how to create a new article out of nothing, and place it in a category? Im lost! --Hawks9718 23:16, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

There are two ways of doing it. Either create the link in your own user space so that you can start the article from there and then remove the link again afterwards, or replace the article name of the page you're currently on (in the website address bar) with the article name that you want to create. In any case this will create an orphaned article, which should only be a temporary measure: all articles should be linked to from at least one other article in Wikipedia.
In future you can ask any question you like either at the village pump or on someone else's talk page (here's mine). I only happened to look here on the offchance and your question may have gone unanswered. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 23:21, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
