A new page can be created by simply navigating to a page that does not exist, this can be acomplished in several ways as outlined below.

Note: The best way to create new pages is to copy the contents from an existing page that uses a similar layout to that desired and modify to suit.

Naming conventions

DO NOT create a page with an * in the name, it causes our anti-bot software to have a heart-attack and effectively kills the site.

Please take note of the way that the pages in the section you wish to add to are named and try to be consistent with them as it makes the category listing page more readable. Typically this means using the form <race/type> - <range> (qualifier). (Only the <race/type> is mandatory)

examples:

  • Fighters - C01 (pre-slotta)
  • Fighters - C01 (1985)
  • Fighters - F2
  • Superheroes

Note: If a page 'Fighters - C01' already exists that contains only slotta figures and you want to add another for pre-slotta, then you would create 'Fighters - C01 (pre-slotta)' and rename (move) the existing page 'Fighters - C01 (slotta)'.

Categories

Remember to make sure each page belongs to the appropriate categories as outlined in the categories help page, otherwise no-one will be able to find your page!

Creating a new page using the search field

Simply type the name of the new page into the search field and click 'GO'.

As long as the name you typed does not exist, you will be presented with the search results page and a link to 'create this page'.

Clicking the link will take you to the 'Editing <new page name>' page where you can edit and save the page.

Creating a new page via a link

Edit an existing page and include a link to your new (non-existant) page.

Here is a link to: [[new page name here]]


Once the page is saved, the link shows up red as the page does not yet exist.
