Part Pages

To create a new page, first see if it exists. It might already exist with the wrong name and simply need to me moved. On the search results page, you can click the link to create your new page.

Each page will probably fall into a pre-defined type. Simply past the following text into the empty page, and save it, then go back and edit the resulting boilerplate.

• Vendor Part
  • See Help:Vendor Parts
• GM Part
  • Use this form to create a new GM part.
• GM Part Name

{{subst:New GMpartname}}

User Pages

All you have to do is set up an account and you have a User Page. It's yours to do with whatever you please, but if you like, you can use the Template like this:

{{subst:New Userpage}}

Templates

Those bits of code above actually use a Template to do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Once you go back to edit a new page, you will see other templates referenced with default data in their definitions. Hopefully it will be self explanatory as to what data is required.

Categories

The template will automatically include Category links at the bottom. These are VERY IMPORTANT as they assign pages to categories that are used in navigation. Please look at them and update as required.
