If one has never used a wiki before, creating a new page is not immediately intuitive; however, it's very simple once the method is known. Regardless where on the Wiki a new page is being created, the method is the same. Since User namespaces were just discussed, the example below will show how to create a page in a User namespace: | If one has never used a wiki before, creating a new page is not immediately intuitive; however, it's very simple once the method is known.

Moving and renaming a page is the same process. This is because you can only rename a page by moving. Whenever pages are moved, a redirect should always be created. The redirect allows any links linking to the old page to be redirected to the new page, seamlessly. To move/rename a page: | |||
# Click on the <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-h hltx"></i> icon on the navigation bar. | |||
# Click {{ui|Move}} | |||
# On the form under ''New title'', select the namespace from the dropdown box (this typically matches the original namespace). | |||
# Under that within the input box, type the page name of the page. | |||
#: This box is where users can rename the content, if desired. Either type the same page name or provide a new one. | |||
# Within the input box under ''Reason'', provide a short explanation why the page is being moved. | |||
# Ensure the boxes are ticked for '''Move associated talk page''' and '''Leave a redirect behind'''. | |||
# Click the {{ui|Move page}} button. | |||

HeaderTabs are still great some applicable content, however, they should be used sparingly. | Use of HeaderTabs should be limited and the majority of content should use the TOC method.

Standards and tips for editing the Step wiki

Definition of a wiki:
- "...a website or database developed collaboratively that allows users to add, delete, or revise content by using a web browser."
The Step Modifications wiki is intended to be a community-driven project; although, most contributions to date have originated from only a handful of contributors. Our goal is to make it easy for all community members to contribute by helping us maintain existing content and developing new content. We created this reference to help our userbase get more comfortable working within a wiki environment.
