== Naming Pages ==
Page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter. Therefore, if the title consists of more than one word, it's important to follow capitalization conventions.
# The name of the page capitalized as if appearing at the start of a sentence.
# Capitalize proper nouns normally. Capitalize game terms as they appear in the current edition of the Ars Magica rule book. For example, [[stress die]] is not capitalized, but [[Casting Total]] is.
# Prefer singular nouns for page names. For example, this page is called "Creating a new page", not "Creating new pages."

If you are creating a new page totally from scratch, instead of filling in an empty page, please refer to [[Help:Naming pages]] for the guidelines on how to name the page. That may look complicated, but it's very important to adhere to a proper naming convention so other contributors can find and link to your new page. If you have any questions, feel free to [[contact]] us.

Search First

Before creating a page, please first search to see that a similar page does not already exist.

Creating Pages

There are two ways to create a new page:

  1. Click on any red link in Project: Redcap. This will take you to the edit window and allow to create the page.
  2. Type the name of the page you want to create into the Search box. When the search results come up empty, there will be a red link at the top of the list to allow you to create the page.

Naming Pages

If you are creating a new page totally from scratch, instead of filling in an empty page, please refer to Help:Naming pages for the guidelines on how to name the page. That may look complicated, but it's very important to adhere to a proper naming convention so other contributors can find and link to your new page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
