 ==== Create a page ====
-In DokuWiki, pages are created as in every other wiki. Simply create a [[link#existing vs non-existing pages|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 [[backlink#orphans]] anywhere.

 There are some alternative ways as well:

   * 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 [[plugintag>create|plugins tagged with 'create']]

 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.
