Creation[edit]

I have had to recreate this page as a lot of links were pointing to it in the assumption it was how to edit new articles, all previous links have been aimed at the better creating articles links e.g. Wikipedia:Starting an article, the shortcut still points here for now , but I'll try to check for the few cases which really did want to create a new empty article without then creating article content within it Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 01:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: no use of the shortcut in this sense redirecting to article creation.Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 01:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
