If a page is protected and locked from editing by normal users, please use that page's Discussion tab to propose simple or obvious changes. This makes it straightforward for a manager or director to copy the wiki code, if provided. More complex discussions about page content typically occur [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=54 in the Forums].

=== Creating a Page ===
[[File:wiki1.png|thumb]]
Before creating a new page, do a few wiki searches with relevant keywords. If there is an existing article that already ties closely to your subject, it may be better to add to the existing article instead of creating a new one. Likewise, if a subtopic in an article becomes really big, it may be worth splitting it off into its own article.
Creating a page is very easy, as all pages exist ''in potentia''.  This means in order to create a page, all you need to do is go to that page and add content. Confused? Don't worry, we have pictures!
First, you'll need to go to the page you want to create. This example shows how this guide was made. You can navigate to the page you wish to make by manually adjusting your browser URL and click 'edit', or - as shown in this example - simply do a search on our wiki for the name of the page you wish to create, and then click 'Create this page'. You can use spaces if the page you wish to create contains multiple words.

After clicking 'create this page' you should see the page editing form. All you need to do now is type the content in the text box, and hit save. It is good practice to include a short summary of the change you made to the page.

Now you have successfully created the page!

Of course, just plain text doesn't make for very useful and readable wiki pages. The next part of this guide describes the wiki markup language.
