Editing Category:Wiki Guides

== How to create new pages ==
<p>In order to create a new page, you have multiple options to do so.
* URL: Simply write "https://sosledger.com/w/NEW PAGE" into your browser search bar. Remember to change out "NEW PAGE" with what your page is meant to be. 
* Search: Simply use the wiki search function. If it doesn't exist, it will give you a prompt to create the missing page.
* Red links: If there's a red link on any page, simply click it. You will then be prompted to create that page.</p>
<p>When you're on the "Create" page, you then click either "Create", or "Create Source". A lot of the page types we utilize has templates made, which will make it much easier for you to create new pages. We'll visit these in the next section.
Once you click "Save page", your new page has been created!</p>

== Using Templates ==
<p>Most templates should have a "How to Use" segment included on their respective template pages. These work best when using "Create Source" or "Edit Source".</p>
