From Monachos.net

New documents can only be created in the Monachos.net Library with explicit pre-approval from the webmaster (contact the webmaster here). Documents created without such approval will be deleted without notice.

Once you've discussed a new document idea with the webmaster and received approval to create it, you can go about the act of creating a new page in the Monachos.net Library via a number of means:

Using Library Links

The MediaWiki software powering the Monachos.net Library makes it easy to link document pages using a standard syntax (see Help:Links). If you create a link to a document that doesn't exist yet, the link will be coloured red, like this.

Clicking a red link will take you to the edit page for the new article. On that page you can enter the document text, click save, and the new page will be created.

Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue (purple for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.

Using the URL

As a slightly less straightforward route, you can use the Library's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an document in the Monachos.net Library is generally something like this:

• http://www.monachos.net/library/ARTICLE

If you replace ARTICLE with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "edit" tab at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit (please note that you must be logged in as an editor in order for the edit tab to appear).

From the search page

If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box and 'go' button on the left of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page. (Note that this technique doesn't work if you use the 'search' button).

Create redirects to your new page

Don't forget to setup redirects when you create a page. If you think another person may search for the page you've created by using a different name or spelling, please create the proper redirect(s). If you've any doubt about what this means, or how to do this properly, please confer with the webmaster prior to making any redirect changes.

To create a redirect, the first line of the page should read #REDIRECT [[Destination]] where Destination is the page to which people should be redirected. This must appear as the very first line of the page.
