== 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>
