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.

===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.
