Before creating a page, it is strongly recommended that you create an account, by clicking the "Create Account" button in the upper right of any page and following the dialogue. '''Please choose a username that clearly corresponds with your real name.''' Good username examples include [[User:Iangomez]] and [[User:Amilich]], while a less good example is [[User:Elongnation]].

Before creating a page, you are required to create an account, by clicking the "Request Account" button in the upper right of any page and following the dialogue. '''Please choose a username that clearly corresponds with your real name.''' Good username examples include [[User:Iangomez]] and [[User:Amilich]], while a less good example is [[User:Elongnation]]. '''Account creation requires manual admin confirmation''' in response to spambot attacks; while the admins receive an email when an account is requested, you can poke them on Slack with <code>@wiki-admin</code> to get your account confirmed more quickly.

Next, search the title of the article you're looking to create. If it or a similar page already exists, that's a good indication you needn't create a new page. Otherwise, create the page by clicking the relevant link (see right).
