Start it—three ways

For Eduzendium articles, there are separate instructions for setting them up in a course-specific format.

1. The easy way

Type the title of your new article in the box to the right, click on the bar below it, and you've begun! You can use the search box (menu panel, left, this page, top) to check for related articles that already exist. See Topic Choice and Naming Conventions if you need to.


2. The complete way, with subpages

Do you want to start an article with subpages?

3. Just e-mail us your article

If a little code makes you nervous, why not write an article using your word processor, and e-mail it in? We'll format it and upload it, and you can edit it from there.

Write it

What should you write?

An accurate, interesting and readable encyclopedia article on just about any topic (we have a family-friendly policy that would exclude some topics).

Learn more here.

Learn the code

If you've never edited a wiki page before, read a little about the wiki code - it's not hard.
