-====== Adding, editing and deleting pages ======
-==== Create a page ====
-In DokuWiki, pages are created as in every other wiki. Simply create a [[documentation:syntax#links|link from an existing page to a non-existing page]], follow this link, and click on ''Create this page'' (bottom left, directly above the footer). This is the most common and recommended way.
-There's also a [[http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2008-11/10-dokuwiki_beginners_screencast_02|screencast]] available explaining it in detail.
-=== Alternative ===
-Of course you can also open a non-existing page by manually manipulating the URL in your Browser. For example, to create a new page ''newpage'' in the namespace ''playground'', one has to replace ''documentation/pages'' with ''playground/newpage'', load the new site and click on ''Create this page''.
-//**NOTE:** Make sure you properly link your newly created page from other pages. Otherwise no one may find your page. (Though these pages may still be found by the [[:start?do=index|Sitemap]] feature or through the [[:start?do=search|search]] engine.)//
-----
-==== Edit a page ====
-Editing a page is done by clicking the ''Edit this page'' button (bottom left, directly above the footer) unless the page is [[#Create a page|created]].
-The creation or editing of a page leads you to an edit window that enables you to enter text using the [[documentation:syntax|syntax]] of Dokuwiki. 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.
-----
-==== Delete a page ====
-If you save an empty page, then DokuWiki will delete the page, and the associated pagename.  (Note that the attic (old revisions) remains.)
