traduction ancienne à reprendre (voir plus bas texte page d'origine en anglais)

Dans DokuWiki, les pages sont créées de la même façon que dans tous les autres wiki. Il faut simplement créer un lien vers une page inexistante, suivre le lien et cliquer sur Créer cette page. C'est la façon la plus commune et recommandée. Cela assure que toutes les pages sont liées entre elles correctement et vous ne créez aucune page orpheline.

Il y a des procédures alternatives qui fonctionnent tout autant :

• Vous pouvez entrer le nom de la nouvelle page directement dans le champ de recherche, cliquer sur le bouton « Rechercher » et choisir Créer cette page sur la page des résultats. La nouvelle page sera nommée à la suite de votre requête.
• Vous pouvez copier un fichier .txt dans le répertoire (espace de noms) dans lequel vous voulez qu'elle réside.
• Bien sûr, vous pouvez aussi ouvrir une page inexistante en modifiant manuellement l'adresse dans votre navigateur.
• Il y a aussi un plugin pour ajouter un formulaire de création de page appelé addnewpage.

Faites attention à lier correctement les pages nouvellement créées depuis les autres pages, lorsque vous utilisez une des méthodes alternatives.

Une page est la caractéristique principale d'un wiki. Toutes les URL d'un wiki devraient conduire à une page modifiable afin que les utilisateurs puissent créer / modifier / supprimer librement les pages.

A page like this one shows you the basic features of DokuWiki. The first header is considered as the title of the page. Basic features in DokuWiki include links and images, but more advanced features are available and these can be extended still further via plugins.

The headings in a page define sections. A section begins with a header and ends at the next header or at the end of the page.

The different sections of a page generate the Table of contents, which you should see at the top right of this page.

Sections can be edited individually, see Section Editing.

The layout of a page is defined not only by its wikitext, but also by its template. This page uses the default template bundled with DokuWiki. More templates can be found here. If none match your need, you also can develop a custom template.

In DokuWiki, pages are created as in every other wiki. Simply create a link from an existing page to a non-existing page, follow this link, and click on Create this page (on right menu in the default template). This is the most common and recommended way. It ensures all your pages are linked together correctly and you don't create orphans anywhere.

There's also a screencast available explaining it in detail.

There are some alternative ways as well:

• You may enter the name of a new page directly in the search field, and click the “Search” button and can choose Create this page (on right menu in the default template) of the results page. The new page will be named after your query.
• If you are the webmaster, you can create a .txt file inside the directory (namespace) wherein you want it to reside. The name of the file is the name of the page.
• Of course you can also open a non-existing page by manually manipulating the URL in your Browser
• There are also plugins to add a page: See plugins tagged with 'create'

NOTE: Make sure you properly link your newly created page from other pages, when using one of the alternative methods. Otherwise no one may find your page. (Though these pages may still be found by the index feature or through the search engine.)

Editing a page is done by clicking the Edit this page button (on right menu in the default template) unless the page is created.

The creation or editing of a page leads you to an edit window that enables you to enter wikitext. Editing a page consists in putting your text inside the edit area, and adding some markup to enhance its layout.

In order to help you in the editing process, a preview feature enables you to look at the formatted page before saving it.

Once your page does match your criteria, you hit the save button in order to save it. The page is then rendered into HTML, which is the standard output. Note that you can export this page into different formats if you wish.

If you save an empty page, then DokuWiki will delete the page, and the associated pagename. Note that old revisions in the attic remain, this ensures accidentally removed pages can be restored easily.

• Creating or editing a page requires you to have enough rights to do it. Please refer to ACL to find more about it.
• The editing of a page can only be done by one person at a time. See locking if you encounter a Page Locked message.
