How do I create a new article in the TC wiki?

Step 1: Think of a name

I think of a name for the new article. In this example we choose the name:

• Cleaning wheels

Step 2: Classify articles

Next, I consider which category this new article should be placed in. In this example, it would be the category:

• Hardware

I click on the selected category Hardware in the navigation and look for the place where the new article fits in. In this example, the chapter would be:

• Locomotives in the Hardware section.

Step 3: Edit category

I'll edit the Hardware section and add the link to the new article there.

This is what it looks like before the new entry:

===Preparing locomotives for TC===
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Decoder_Bremsverzögerung|Decoder_Braking_Delay]]
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Decoder Geschwindigkeitsprofil|Decoder Speed ​​Profile]] - Setting minimum, average and maximum speed

And this is what it looks like after the new entry with the inserted Clean wheels (german: Räder säubern):

===Preparing locomotives for TC===
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Decoder_Bremsverzögerung|Decoder_Braking_Delay]]
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Decoder Geschwindigkeitsprofil|Decoder Speed ​​Profile]] - Setting minimum, average and maximum speed
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Räder säubern|Cleaning wheels]]

Step 4: Save

The link for the new article Cleaning wheels has been created, the change is saved.

Fig: Link is red

Check: The new article should now appear red because it does not yet exist. We have only created a link to it.

Step 5: Write article content

Now comes the actual creation of the new article. To do this, I click on red link with the new article name Cleaning wheels.

Fig: New article

The newly created article Cleaning wheels appears, click on:

• "create" and you can start writing immediately.

This basic structure can simply be copied and pasted into the new empty article.

That's it. Have fun creating new articles.
