Using WikiLinks
First you create an internal Wikilink to be drawn to the article name. This is very easy using the syntax [[New article name]] (see also left). If you (or anyone else) generated that link, it will be colored red, since the article does not exist yet.
Once you click the red link, you are automatically in edit mode of the new article. Write your text in the text box provided and then click "Save page". This will create the page you have just saved.
Once the page or article is produced, the color of the Wikilinks changes from red to black, this indicates that the article now exists.
Using URLs
You can also use the Metin2Wiki to generate a page URL. The following format is used for a page URL:
* Http://wiki.metin2.co.uk/index.php/ARTICLE
Replace the ARTICLE in the link with the actual name of the article you wish to create. As a result you will get a blank page with a message that this article does not currently exist. Then press the "edit" tab and the page goes into edit mode. Write your information in the textbox of the edit page and then simply press the "Save page" button to apply the changes.
Creating a Redirect to a New Page
Always remember when creating an article to think about redirecting. This is in case somebody else searches for your article by a different name or with incorrect spelling (cases also matter with some articles). Here is how you create a redirect.
A redirect is generated by the following command in the first line of a page: #REDIRECT [[target]]. This means that a user will be redirected when searching this page. The important thing to remember is the command must be on the first line of the page!
Protecting a New Page
If it is desired pages can be locked so they are protected. This means that only certain groups can edit the page. This can only done by a member of the Metin2Wiki-Team.
