Before you create a page
There are a couple of steps you need to take before you make a new page:

Make sure the article does not exist

 * Search for it at Special:Search or use the search box.
 * Try alternative spellings, including British and American English, and with/without punctuation
 * Check relevant pages to see if there is a link
 * Check relevant categories to see if you can find the page
 * Make sure the content of the article (eg a Character) is not already listed as part of another page

Make sure we require a new article

 * Make sure the topic is relevant - check existing pages and categories to see if we want articles about it
 * If the information is already on an existing page, then there is no reason to duplicate it unless it needs a lot more space to itself
 * If you can split an existing article into two (or more) good-sized articles, then go ahead

When you create a new page
When you are making the page, there are a few things you need to take into consideration
 * Make sure the page meets quality and Consistency guidelines.
 * See Help if you're unsure about formatting and using images

Titles

 * The title of your article should usually just be the title of the thing you're writing about
 * Use title case for the title
 * This means capitalization of all words, except for internal articles, prepositions and conjunctions (eg in/the/a/is/if/to)
 * Example: The Vitamins Are in My Fresh Brussels Sprouts
 * Example: Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
 * Example: Welcome to the
 * Where something has its own capitalisation and punctuation (such as a program or show name) then use the real format rather than title case
 * Example: A fresh start...

Disambiguations

 * Where you have more than one article with the same name, put something in brackets to separate them
 * If one article is a lot more important than another, only add brackets onto the less popular one
 * Example: DJ Moose and DJ Moose (show)
 * But link to both articles to each other at the top of both pages
 * If you have more than 2 articles with similar names, you need a disambiguation page which simply links to all the pages with a similar name
 * Example: A fresh start... links to A fresh start...(East) and A fresh start...(East) etc
