Wikipedia:Tip of the day/June 7, 2006

Starting an article The easiest way to start a new article is to follow an existing link to a page that doesn't exist yet. Depending on your settings, these links may show up as red links or have a question mark at the end of the link (red links ? ). You can also type the title as the URL and get there directly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_name Additionally, you can also use the search box on the top of your screen to look for an article name. When told that the page does not exist, click the link either in red or with the question mark, at which point you should be taken to an empty edit box. From there you can start typing your article and click "Save" when done.
