New page

So you want to create a new page about a mod, tool, or technique for Glue3D? Follow this guide step by step.

== Step 1: Always Search First ==
'''Never''' create a page without '''searching first'''. Someone may have already started it under a slightly different name.

Go to the search bar, type what you're thinking of, and press Enter. If you see a similar page, edit that one instead.

Example: If you want to write about "Modding", search for it first. There might already be a page called [[Modding]].

== Step 2: Starting the Page ==
There are two ways to create a new page:

<big>'''Method A''': Click a red link</big>

Anywhere on the wiki, if you see a link in red, click it. It will take you straight to an empty edit box.

<big>'''Method B''': Use the search bar</big>

Type your desired page name into search and press Enter. You'll see "Create the page 'Your Title' on this wiki!" ΓÇô click that red text.

== Step 3: The Lead Paragraph ==
'''Every article''' must start with a '''bolded definition''' sentence that tells readers exactly what the page is about, for example:

<big><nowiki>'''[Page name]'''</nowiki> is a [brief description].</big>

Example: '''Glue3D Wiki''' is a community-maintained encyclopedia dedicated to documenting Glue3D, including its projects, games, history, and other community-created content.

Write 1-3 more sentences after that to summarize the most important facts.

== Step 4: Adding Categories ==
'''Categories''' are how pages get organized into lists. Without a category, your page will be lost and hard to find.

At the very bottom of the page, add one of the common Glue3D categories:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Category !! Use for
|-
| <nowiki>[[Category:Modifications]]</nowiki> || Any mod that changes how Glue3D works
|-
| <nowiki>[[Category:Utilities]]</nowiki> || Tools, exporters, or scripts
|-
| <nowiki>[[Category:Tutorials]]</nowiki> || How-to guides
|-
| <nowiki>[[Category:Stubs]]</nowiki> || Incomplete pages that need more work
|}
<sup>''(More categories will be put up soon)''</sup>

You can add multiple categories. Each goes on its own line.

== Quick Start Checklist ==
Before saving a new page, ask yourself:

* ''Did I search for existing pages first?''
* ''Does the first sentence bold the title and define the topic?''
* ''Did I add at least one [[Category:...]] at the bottom?''
* ''Did I preview the page to check for errors?''

If yes, hit '''Save Page''' and congratulations! You've created a new page on the Glue3D Wiki.
