Help talk:Starting a new page

=Improvements= This following are some ways this page could be improved to maintain professionalism and clarity:
 * Indicate that the "What links here" link is under "Tools" on the far left of the creation page
 * Remove "or" from before "change the new title"
 * "If nothing points here" should be changed to "If nothing points to your new page" to avoid confusion

From the search box

 * This section makes reference to a "Go" button. This character "🔍" should be used instead. Also, the section says the search box is in the upper left of the page; it's at the upper-right.

From a link

 * Change "doesn't exist" to "does not exist"
 * "They are typically created in preparation for creating the page" switches from plural to singular. "Page" should have an "s" appended to it.
 * Add "for" before "those who read a related page and also those who watch the related page", within the parentheses.
 * Change "New page links are not really broken" to "New page links are not truly broken"
 * Remove "that" from "or that duplicates content found under another name"
 * Change "it may be better to wait with creating links" to "it may be better to wait to create links"

Special notes
Please use your discretion when deciding which of these improvements to make --Phylea (talk) 22:06, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Change "distinguished" to "distinguishable"
 * Change "you open a category page that doesn't exist" to "you open a category page that does not exist"
 * Change "but typically a link to a file page" to "but typically, a link to a file page"
 * To maintain parallelism, change "and a description of the image" to "and providing a description of the image"
 * All of the help pages are based off a base template that was made for Gamepedia and that is used on all of their wikis.--Malvodion (talk) 23:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I just checked a dozen wikis and none of them use the exact same wording/format. Could you link me to the template? If not, is there someone I could contact to discuss updating the Gamepedia templates? --Phylea (talk) 00:08, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * GPHelp:Starting a new page would be the most basic example. Any wikis that have a help page of this kind are based on it, or have an older version of it. It's odd that you couldn't find anything considering they are almost always named the same.--Malvodion (talk) 02:42, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

I made changes to the Gamepedia template more than a week ago and those changes have not been reverted. From that we can assume that the changes I made were good ones and so they can be applied here. The following changes were made:

From the search box

 * This section makes reference to a "Go" button. This character "🔍" should be used instead. Also, the section says the search box is in the upper left of the page; it's at the upper-right.

From a link

 * Change "New page links are not really broken" to "New page links are not truly broken"
 * Change "it may be better to wait with creating links" to "it may be better to wait to create links"

Special notes
Please make these corrections. --Phylea (talk) 06:53, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Change "distinguished" to "distinguishable"
 * To maintain parallelism, change "and a description of the image" to "and providing a description of the image"
 * It would seem than that change slipped through the cracks and wasn't meant to be let be. You shouldn't change the global help pages without asking first, they are what everyone in Gamepedia can read.--Malvodion (talk) 13:46, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Then to quote myself from earlier, "Is there someone I could contact to discuss updating the Gamepedia templates? --Phylea (talk) 00:08, 25 January 2016 (UTC)". Who can I ask? Because I really just want to improve this page and correct some of its information (e.g., the search box being in the right, not left). --Phylea (talk) 18:58, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
