Form:Wiki: Difference between revisions

<noinclude>:'''''Please note:''''' – before creating a <u>new</u> [[article]] page for a [[What is a Wiki|wiki site]] here on this {{tag|WikiIndex}} wiki, kindly ensure you have used the '''[[Special:Search|search function]]''' to check if the desired [[wiki]] site article is {{tag|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 :-)
