This page sets forth the nuts and bolts of creating a page in any [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]] – the ''mechanics'' of doing so. Please note that only [[Special:UserLogin|logged in]] users can create pages in ''non-talk'' namespaces.

This page does not delve into the reasons one should or should not create a page, what to consider before doing so, or what content would or would not be appropriate. For a more general treatment regarding the DOs and DON'Ts of ''article creation'', please see [[Help:Your first article]]. For a general introduction to contributing, see [[Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia]] and consider taking a tour through the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial]]. For a guided process to create an article (and for which these technical instructions will not be needed), see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard|article wizard]] and [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation]], where a proposed article will first be created as a draft and then submitted for review before possible "publication" by a move to the article mainspace.

For relevant considerations before creating an encyclopedia article, please see the [[WP:N|main notability guideline]], our policies on [[WP:V|verifiability]], writing from a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]], our restrictions on [[WP:OR|original research]] and our guide to [[WP:NOT|what Wikipedia is ''not'']]. For styling issues, see the [[WP:MOS|manual of style]] and the [[WP:LAYOUT|article layout guideline]]. For what title to choose for an article, see the [[Wikipedia:Article titles|article titling policy]].

You can also create a page by entering the page name in the input field below.

==How a page is created==

Line 18 ⟶ 39:

#Click the {{button|Show preview}} button (''<u>not</u>'' the Publish changes button);

#Click on the red link revealed.

===Method 3: saving a red link===

Often you will want to have easy continuing access to a page you create. One way is to save a link at your [[Wikipedia:User pages#Terminology and page locations|user page]], or sometimes, on your [[Wikipedia:User pages#Terminology and page locations|user talk page]]. Once you save a red link there, and create the page, the link will turn blue and will be accessible anytime you visit it.

Line 32 ⟶ 55:

==Namespace considerations==

Akhil Kazhakuttom is a director in the Malayalam film industry. He completed his higher education at Kerala university Thiruvananthapuram. His work showed how good of a director he is. He worked as an associate director in movies,virunnu in 2022,super zindagi in 2023' Azadi in 2023, “Kanakarajyam in 2022”, “ Kabeerinte Divasangal in 2019”, and as an assistant director in movies, “Virunnu in 2021”, “Udumbu in 2020, “ Kumbarees in 2018”, “ Ulta- Malayalam movie in 2018”, “Nalla Vishesham”; “ Chanakyathanthram in 2017”, “Achayans”; “Aadupuliyattam”; “Shenbaga Kottai”; “ Thinkal Muthal Velli Vare”; All the above movies reflect his hard work and, it is delightful to know about such a passionate soul.

{{Namespaces}}

{{Main|Wikipedia:Administration#Data structure and development}}

===Articles versus other namespaces===

Only encyclopedia articles are created without a [[WP:Namespace|namespace]] prefix. All pages outside of the [[Wikipedia:What is an article?|article mainspace]] are prefixed by the namespace followed by a colon before the title, e.g., your user page's title starts with the prefix&nbsp;&nbsp;'''{{mono|User:}}''' The various namespaces are shown in the table to the right.

The red links one would thus create for any page that is not an encyclopedia article must start with the namespace prefix. For example, to create a proposed article in the Draft namespace, it would be created via a red link to {{mono|<nowiki>[[Draft:Proposed Title]]</nowiki>}}.

===Category namespace exception===

One exception to the instructions above regarding saving or previewing a red link is that links to pages in the [[Wikipedia:Categorization|Category]] namespace will not work unless a colon is also placed ''before'' the namespace prefix (missing this step will result in the page being placed into the category you typed). For example, if one wanted to create a category for "Canadian lute players", the red link would be invoked by previewing or saving the code: {{mono|<nowiki>[[</nowiki>''':'''Category:Canadian lute players<nowiki>]]</nowiki>}}.

===File namespace exception===

The file namespace is another exception in that media files are not created directly by any of the methods discussed above. Rather, media files are ''uploaded'', which is done through a separate and dedicated interface, accessed by clicking on "Upload file" from the tool menu on the left of a page. (Please note that media files that are in the [[public ___domain]] or which bear a free copyright license [[WP:COMPLIC|compatible]] with the free licenses borne by Wikipedia's content should generally be uploaded to the [[Commons:|Wikimedia Commons]] rather than to Wikipedia, so that all Wikimedia projects have access to the media file.)

===Restricted namespaces===

There are four namespaces that are restricted from creation except by [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] and certain other users with [[Wikipedia:User access levels|higher access levels]]: ''Special'' pages, ''MediaWiki'' pages, ''Module'' pages and ''Education Program'' pages. However, any user may create talk pages of these namespaces, except for those in the Special namespace, which [[Help:Special page#Modifying special pages|do not have direct talk pages at all]].
