Usage

  • This template should always be substituted by prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus use {{subst:Creation}} rather than {{Creation}}.
  • This template presumes that its use will be for a first response to an unindented post, and thus automatically indents one colon for all paragraphs. If you require more indentation (or none), you will have to manually add or remove colons after substitution.
  • The template does not include automatic signing. Please remember to sign by typing four tildes (~) after the template syntax.
  • This template will not work if one of the two parser function parameters are not included (see below).

Parameters

Before creating an article, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please also review a few of our relevant policies and guidelines which all articles should comport with.

Articles must also demonstrate the notability of the subject. Please see our subject specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content and note that if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating the article.
If you still think an article is appropriate, see Help:Starting a new page. You might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation.
