<noinclude>:'''''Please note:''''' – before creating a <u>new</u> [[article]] or [[category]] page for a '''{{tag|wiki company}}''' here on this {{tag|WikiIndex}} wiki site, kindly ensure you have used the '''[[Special:Search|search function]]''' to check if the desired wiki company article or category is [[:Category:All|already listed here]], albeit maybe under a slightly different spelling.  Furthermore, please ensure you have read [[WikiIndex:Naming conventions]], as this describes how we <u>name</u> articles and [[Special:Categories|categories]] here on '''WikiIndex'''.  Thanks :-)

'''{{NAMESPACE}}: {{PAGENAME}}''' — this is the '''wiki company form''', which calls upon our [[Template:Wiki company|wiki company infobox template]].  Use the form below to create a <u>new</u> [[Special:Categories|category]] or article page for a '''{{tag|wiki company}}''', ''or'' view and [[edit]] an <u>existing</u> wiki company [[article]] or [[category]] page here on WikiIndex.

With this [[Special:Forms|form]], enter the full, correct name of the {{tag|wiki company}} in the box below (taking care to ensure accuracy of spelling, grammar, and punctuation), and click on the 'create a new wiki company article page or category, or edit an existing wiki company article' button.

Please bear in mind that many wiki companies are listed here on WikiIndex as a '[[Special:Categories|category]]', so, if the wiki company already has (or will have) [[wiki]] site articles using said wiki company, you will need to also prefix the company name with <tt><nowiki>Category:</nowiki></tt> — for example: <span style=nowrap><code>Category:Wiki company name</code></span>.  However, if / when listing either an experimental wiki company, or an [[:Category:Goal abandoned|abandoned]] wiki company which has <u>never been used to create an actual wiki</u>, or a company which only hosts [[:Category:Private|private]] wiki sites, the <tt><nowiki>Category:</nowiki></tt> may be omitted.

If a category or article page with that identical wiki company name [[Special:AllPages|already exists]] here on WikiIndex, you will automatically be directed to a form to edit that <u>existing</u> page.  If no wiki company (of that identical name) is listed, you will then be prompted to a further series of step-by-step edit boxes where you can add full detail of the wiki company you wish to list here on WikiIndex.

:''Please note:'' – before creating any new wiki company articles or categories, please ensure you have used the [[Special:Search|search function]] to check if the desired company is already listed here, albeit maybe under a slightly different spelling.  Thanks :-)

Articles or categories created using this form will automatically added to [[:category: Wiki company]].
