| 6 | |Adding a wanted link|While editing an existing Page (using either the [[in-place WYSIWYG editor>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.WebHome]], the [[standalone WYSIWYG editor>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.edit-standalone-wysiwyg-editor.WebHome]], or the [[wiki editor>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.edit-wiki-editor.WebHome]]), you can create a [[link>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiSyntax.WebHome]] to a new Page. The link will appear with a question mark next to it, indicating that the Page doesn’t exist yet. Click the link to open the creation wizard.|{{image reference="wanted-link.png" size="large" alt="A missing link highlighted"/}} | ||
| 7 | |Using the "Create" button|You can create a new [[child>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]] Page for the current Page by using the "Create" button. You can also create [[top-level>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]] Pages by creating the Page from the wiki's homepage. If your intention was really to create a child of the homepage (which is not usually the case for homepages), then you can use the [["Location Picker">>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.create.WebHome||anchor="LocationPicker"]] and select the homepage as parent of the new Page.|{{image reference="create-button.png" size="large" alt="The create button highlighted"/}} | ||
| 8 | |Entering directly the URL of the new Page|You can also type the new [[Page name>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.titles-names.WebHome]] (and its path) directly in your browser’s URL. | ||
| 9 | For example: ##http:~/~/localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/sandbox-test/test-page##. If the target Page doesn’t exist, XWiki will display an empty Page with a message indicating that the Page is missing, along with a link to create it. In this case, the [[page title>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.titles-names.WebHome||anchor="HPageTitles"]] will initially be the [[page name>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.titles-names.WebHome||anchor="HPageNames"]].|{{image reference="missing-page.png" size="large" alt="The empty page"/}} |
