'''Be careful''' a reference to (for example)  <nowiki>[[webTags]]</nowiki> would create a new page, as that capital '''T''' in the middle is different to the name of the existing '''Webtags''' page.

==Templates==
When you create a new page, you can reference templates that will add standard predetermined content to your page.
* Type '''<nowiki>{{Template:WorkInProgressBanner}}</nowiki>''' to add a banner to that point in the page saying "Work In Progress". The coloured background makes this content stand out.
* Type '''<nowiki>{{Template:Version badge Mx}}</nowiki>''' to put your page into '''<nowiki>Category: Cumulus MX</nowiki>''' and display a MX symbol.
* (For legacy cumulus) type '''<nowiki>{{Version badge 1}}</nowiki>''' to put the page into '''<nowiki>Category: Cumulus 1</nowiki>''' and display a "v1" symbol.
Other templates are available, and you can create a new template if there is a standard piece of text you want to be able to insert in multiple places.

If links to the old page exist, a standard logged-in user needs to manually edit each link individually.  If redirect exists, the old links will get to the correct page by first opening the redirect page.  If redirect does not exist, the old links will turn red, to indicate they now link to a non-existent page.  A logged-in administrator can do a global edit, '''search for'' <nowiki>[[old-page-name</nowiki> and '''replace with''' <nowiki>[[new-page-name</nowiki>.
