A '''new page''' is distinguished from a page: the latter has a [[page history]]. However, creating a new page is just like editing a blank page, except that the message that is in [[MediaWiki:Newarticletext]] appears, which can be different per project.<br />
<br />
For general editing matters, in particular the [[en:markup language|markup language]] of the [[wikitext]], see [[Help:Editing]].<br />

==Starting a page through the URL==<br />
The URL corresponding to a non-existing page gives a webpage like that of an existing page, showing the text that is in [[MediaWiki:Noarticletext]].<br />
<br />
It has the usual edit link, which allows you to create the page.<br />
<br />
Thus a "broken link" from within or outside the project is, in a way, not really broken, as long as the first part of it is correct. <br />
<br />
An easy way to produce the URL is editing the last part of the URL of another page in the same project.<br />
<br />
An [[interwiki link]] to a non-existing page (not recommended) gives the same result.<br />
<br />
To get access to a MediaWiki project with all the links at the edges, but without superfluous loading of any page, you can bookmark a non-existing page.<br />
