Creating a new page

You can create a new page in Maurypedia by:

1. clicking a word or phrase in an existing article that has already been tagged, but where the article has not yet been written;
2. tagging a word or phrase in an existing article; or
3. using the Create_A_Page "Create a Page" page.

Creating A Page By Clicking a Tagged Word or Phrase

When reading an article, you may notice that a word or phrase is marked in red, for example:

In this example, the word "Maury" has been tagged but the article has not yet been created.

Clicking on the word "Maury" you will go to a page that will allow you to create a page called "Maury (disambiguation)." A disambiguation page is a page that allows readers to distinguish between different uses of a word.

Note that if you click the "Edit" button at the top-right of the screen while reviewing the original "Maury County, Tennessee" article, you will see that it was tagged using double-square brackets:

Note that the format here is [[ Name of new article being tagged | tagged text in old article ]].
