How to Post Your Pasta on the Listing

"As the wiki becomes more and more popular, it becomes more and more difficult for me to catch up on updating the Creepypasta section listing...so I'm going to walk you through on how to do it so as to save me and anyone else the trouble."

Writing Your Pasta!
I'm sure (as in I hope) that I don't need to walk you through this...but in case I do.

I: Creating an Account
-In order to post your pasta to the listing, you may need to create an account with the wiki...should be simple enough.

1) At the top of the webpage, you should see a link saying "Sign In" or "Create an Account".

2) Select "Create an Account" and simply follow the directions.

II: Create-a-Page
''-Once logged in, you should see two links near the top of the page (this is on any page in the wiki). One should read "Contribute" and the other should read "Share".''

1) Select "Contribute".

2) From the drop-down menu, select "Add a Page".

3) In the box that appears, name your story and select a page format ("Standard Layout" is the easiest to work with).

FRIENDLY REMINDER: ''Please try to use appropriate grammar in the title. In other words, a hypothetical story named "My Creepypasta" should read "My Creepypasta" and not "my creepypasta" or "My creepypasta". If a story is to be titled "The Story of My Life", it should read "The Story of My Life" and  NOT  "The story of my life" or "The Story Of My Life". For more help, Google is your friend.''

4) Once the blank page appears, write your story or copy/paste it to the page, then select the "Publish" option that appears in the upper right corner of the screen.

5) Once the story is published, view and enjoy!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Please, don't forget to spellcheck your submission and add existing categories to the story (such as "Video Games" if it is centered around a video game, as well as "Creepypasta" and/or "Creepypastas" because it is well...a creepypasta)!

Adding Pastas to the Creepypasta Listing
-The main topic of this page.

I: Navigation
From anywhere on the wiki, you should be able to find a toolbar on the top of the page with three tabs, "On the Wiki", "Wiki Content", and "Community".

1) From here, roll your mouse cursor over the "Wiki Content" tab of the toolbar and select the "Creepypastas" option.

II: Editing the List
1) Once the page loads, look for and select the "Edit" link next to the page heading ("Creepypastas").

2) Once the Edit page pulls up, scroll down to the appropriate heading.

FRIENDLY NOTE: For an easier way to do this, while on the page, simply scroll down to the appropriate heading and click on the "Edit" link next to it.

3) Once there, copy the URL of your story and return to the "Creepypastas" edit screen. Unless there is already a space reserved for you, press "Enter" on your keyboard to create a new line, mark your place with the appropriate symbol (For now, it is a tilde (~)), and click to prepare to type.

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Even if you already have a spot reserved for you, please be kind to others and mark a space down for them below your pasta's link.

4) At the top of the Edit page, click on the hyperlink button (symbolized by a chain), which should be located to the right of the italics ( i ) button, paste the URL of your story in the appropriate box and title the hyperlink (using the title of your story). Then click on "OK" (NOTE: If you click "OK" once and the URL changes to the title of your page, that's okay, just click on the "OK" button again).

FRIENDLY NOTE: Make sure that the "Wiki Page"'' option is highlighted, since you are creating a link to a story already located on the wiki. The "External" option is only used when linking a different website.''

5) If done correctly, the title of your story should appear in blue on the list. From there, just navigate to the blue "Publish" button on the upper right corner of the screen, wait for the screen to return to the "Creepypasta" page, and then you're done!

Final Word
With a story typed and a link on the listing ready for it, men and women looking for a good scared can easily locate your story on the wiki and enjoy your amazing and spooky tale!
