Ways to start a new module

- Start a module from the sandbox
- Start a new module from an index (mandatory for modules to function)
Onginnan dǽl of andweardum bende
Tó onginnenne níwne dǽl, canst þu onginnan of bende tó þǽm títule þæs níwan trametes. Swá þu rǽdst þurh Wicibóca dǽlas, siehst þu clickable links to pages that haven't been written yet (like this: Sample module title -- but DON'T CLICK ON THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE LINK). Links to unwritten modules appear in red (if you are logged in you can change this to a small question mark using the preferences). Click on the link, and you'll arrive at a page that says:
- You've followed a link to a module that doesn't exist yet.
- To create the module, start typing in the box below:
Just start typing your module in the edit-box. When you're finished, click the "Save page" button at the bottom of the page. (Use the "Preview" button if you want to see what the page will look like first.)
Starting a module by editing the URL
One of the easiest ways to start a new module is to enter something like the following into your browser as a module address:
- http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Sample_module_title
Replacing "Sample_module_title" with whatever you want the module to be called. For example, to create an module about frumpysnarf, type:
- http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Frumpysnarf
This will bring up a template page that informs you that there is currently no text in the module yet. So, click on the "Edit" link at the top of that page, and presto! you are now editing your brand new module. Your careful attention to accuracy and neutrality will be greatly appreciated, of course.
Start a module from the sandbox
Another way is to use the sandbox!
- Edit the sandbox, then create a new link.
- Then create/edit your new page by clicking on the link and writing new text.
Note: The sandbox is periodically erased, so remember to bookmark the module(s) you have created, in order to edit them again in the future. If you are a registered user, it will also appear under "My contributions" in the Quickbar.
Further info
When creating modules it is also good practice to run the text through a spell checker before submitting. You may find it more convenient to take a copy of the original page, work on it, then paste the edited copy back in. Creating brand-new topics is a great way to help Wikibooks increase its breadth (and depth).
