| - This Page Creation Policy covers the minimum information necessary for users to include when creating a new page. If you are unable to add these basic elements then please leave the page for someone who can. Creating a page improperly does no one any good and actually makes more work for the person who has to come behind you to fix your mistakes and add in what you left out. There is nothing noteworthy about being the user who created a page, there is no credit, achievements, or special recognition for doing so. If you can't create the page properly then leave it for someone who can. All pages will be created by using either our Preloaded Templates or Page Creation Tool. If you chose to fill the page in manually, which is highly discouraged, you must include all of those same elements. It is highly recommend you use Source Mode when creating pages, the visual editor is not capable of formatting a new page properly. If you insist on using the visual editor, once the page has been created you will need to click "Edit source" from the edit drop down menu and fix the mistakes it leaves behind. It is absolutely imperative that all users follow these minimum guidelines, those who don't may be temporarily blocked from editing and a notice placed on their message wall linking to this article. We can not understate just how important proper page creation is. For a more in-depth tutorial on page editing, please see our Writing and Editing Guide.
