 ===Create the Page===
-To create a new article (that is, add information about a '''new''' airport), you will need to start by going to the page that the article will be at, as this will automatically create a blank page.  <br>You can do this by filling in the title of your page after the <tt>title=</tt> portion of the web address in your '''browser's address bar'''.  For example, if you are currently at the following page:
+To create a new article (that is, add information about a '''new''' airport), visit the [[Help:Start a New Article|Start a New Article]] page, fill in the name of the airport, and click '''Create article'''.
- <nowiki>http://www.spotterswiki.com/index.php?title=San_Diego_International_Airport_%28SAN/KSAN%29</nowiki>
-first erase everything after the <tt>title=</tt>:
- <nowiki>http://www.spotterswiki.com/index.php?title=</nowiki>
-then fill in the name of the article you wish to create:
- <nowiki>http://www.spotterswiki.com/index.php?title=Los Angeles International Airport (LAX/KLAX)</nowiki>
-Note that you do not need to include the _ or special % codes for the parenthesis as they will be converted for you.  The format for article names should be:
- ''airport name'' (''IATA code''/''ICAO code'')
