Creating Pages

1. How do I create a new page?

   • Easiest way is type a word in the search box (press go). If it's not there, you will be prompted to create a page. Click on create this page. Try searching for different spelling also. If the entry was given with a number of different spellings, then you should still find a match. --SRajaDita 22:46, 7 August 2007 (CEST)
   • You can also create a new page (or article) by clicking on a word highlighted in red that has been linked in another article, that is put in [[double square brackets]]. See Palug Rayah or OKC word list or Kelabit.Net word list --SRajaDita 22:46, 7 August 2007 (CEST)
