User:Stranger43286/My Article Creation Guide

Hi guys. I'm Stranger43286! Here's a article creation guide. It is can be useful for new and mobile users.

If you're an IP user or new registered user, you can't create an article by yourself. Only autoconfirmed users (with 10+ edits and 4 days of account age) can create articles. But you can help by editing new articles or drafts.

• Don't create hoaxes. Hoaxes might get deleted and you will get blocked or banned.

• Make sure the topic is notable (covered by many reliable sources). Use those sources to create articles.

You can't create an article or a draft in the mobile app. Article creation is only available on the Website. So you need to use the website.

Search “Wikipedia” in your browser.

Search “Wikipedia:How to create a page” on the website and click on the page.

If you've redirected to app, hold and click on preview page.

In the lead section of “Wikipedia:How to create a page”, you'll see a box. Fill the box with your article name and click on “create the page” button.

Edit the article, with words and sources. Then click on the “publish page” button.

(Optional) ask other editors to expand the new article.

This time, search “Wikipedia:Drafts”.

Use preview page trick if you redirected to the app.

In a section of “Wikipedia:Draft”, you'll see a box. Fill your draft's name and click on the “create the draft” button.

Edit and click on the “publish draft” button if you think this is enough for this time.

Don’t use AI chatbots (like ChatGPT) to generate text, because AI might give wrong or outdated information. You can fact check and modify text to use in draft.

(Optional) ask other editors to improve the draft.

You can submit the draft for review when you think enough information is added . In AfC process, a new page reviewer will check the draft. This might take a long time.

You can also move the draft to mainspace. Just move and remove the “Draft:” prefix. It will become an article.

That's how you can create an article on mobile!!
