This article should not be merged with "Add a Wiki". That article is already quite complex, as it should be. This one should point most readers over there, and address here all other aspects: creating articles about people, terms, this wiki, namespaces, meta topics.--[[User:69.87.193.65|69.87.193.65]] 05:04, 2 February 2007 (PST) | This article should not be merged with "Add a Wiki".

::And I also agree. [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki]] is purely for adding a <u>wiki</u> article, and is pre-loaded with the [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]]. This particular page gives more generic advice on how to create an article on ''any'' wiki subject, such as a [[:Category:WikiIdea|wiki idea]], etc. [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 09:07, 14 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
