== Identifying Pages without Content == For this tutorial example I am going to use a page at the time of this writing which is incomplete: [[RoF/Zones/breedinggrounds]]. However images will explain everything. This is what the page looks like at the time of the tutorial being written. <div style="clear: both"></div> [[Image:RoF helping How to edit a page03.png|frame|left]] <div style="clear: both"></div> Notice all the red/orange colored links. And possibly some others. Well here is this handy dandy table to explain it to you: <div style="clear: both"></div> {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- ! style="width:10%" | Link style ! Type |- | [[Wikipedia:Links|<span style="color:#0645AD;">blue link</span>]] || link to a page that currently exists |- | [[Main Page|<span style="color:#0B0080;">dark blue link</span>]] || link to a page that you have already visited |- | [[This article does not exist|<span style="color:#CC2200;">red link</span>]] || link to a page that [[Wikipedia:Red link|does not currently exist]] within zoywiki |- | [[This article does not exist either|<span style="color:#A55858">light red link</span>]] || link to a page that does not exist, but you have visited |- | [[wikt:link|<span style="color:#3366BB">light blue link</span>]] || link to a page at another wiki such as Wikipedia |- | [[wikt:|<span style="color:#663366">purple link</span>]] || link to a page at another site that has been visited |} <div style="clear: both"></div> All these orange/red link pages do not have content. Meaning if you click one of these red/orange links that you will be presented with an edit dialog! This makes adding the pages very fast and efficient. Pro-tip: In most web browsers if you click the middle mouse button on a link it opens a new tab; this can make editing ultra fast. So why is it some things have a full page name for their redlink but others look more pretty? This is a somewhat complicated question, and is answered in detail in the Advanced tutorial, [[EQ/howtohelp/Linking to something else|Linking to something else]]. In short you will notice that the names like '''RoF/Zones/breedinggrounds/misc''', correspond specifically to what the content in the box '''Miscellaneous''' will have, where as the Quests, are links to the page that contain information about the particular Quest you are interested in. '''What you should have learned so far''': # Some pages may not be complete # How to identify pages with content and pages with and without content # How to open lots of wiki tabs to edit a lot of pages (for example: all the quests in zone) # How to create a new page if the link already exists, maybe not how to put content like you want, but certainly can now create a page that did not exist before.
