Wiki Editing Tips and Tricks

How to add a new page

First Step

In order to add a new page to WikiMo, you need to log in. Learn about creating an account here.

Second Step

Once your account is approved, you can create a new page by adding /New_Page_Name to https://wiki.mozilla.org. For example, if you wanted to create a page about your local Maker Party project, go to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Local_Maker_Project. At a new URL, you should see:

There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related
logs, or edit this page. If the title you searched for used 'CamelCase' try searching for the page title with
spaces between the words. Please do NOT create articles with 'CamelCase' titles or with everything in UPPERCASE.

Third Step

Select the Edit or Create option at the page. The Wikitext Editor will appear and you can edit and format the page to your liking.

Page URL Format

In order to make all pages searchable on the wiki,

all pages should_be_added_like_this or Added_Like_This.

• No CamelCase
• No UPPERCASE
• No page-names-separated-by-hyphens.
• No Page:Name
