 | == How to create new pages ==  |  | = Guides =  | 
 | <p>In order to create a new page, you have multiple options to do so.
  |  | Welcome to the SoS Ledger Guides section!  | 
 | * 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 ==
  |  | This category contains various guides and tutorials to help you understand and contribute to the wiki, as well as providing helpful information about State of Survival.  | 
 | <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>
