There are two main ways to create a page:
# Provide directions for print/assembly - be detailed enough in your “how to” to ensure that someone could construct the device from your description. Consider the elegance of IKEA like instructions.
# Search for the new title with the Go button. When the search finds nothing, click on the red link "create this page".  
# Include print time estimate
# Create a [[Help:Contents#Links|link]] as usual, then save the page. Clicking on the redlink allows you to start editing the new page (don't forget to save).
# Include assembly time estimate
# If you want a prefilled page (with suggested headings etc), decide on the name and enter it in the appropriate box - for a '''[[#Topic page]]''' or '''[[#Project page]]'''.
# Including drawings or pictures of the device at stage of assembly at minimum. (http://www.appropedia.org/Special:Upload)
# Consider video if appropriate

=== Common Problems and Solutions===
* Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them


== Experimenting - use the "Sandbox" ==
== Cost savings==
* If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
# Estimate your costs
# Find a commercial equivalent
# Calculate $ savings and % savings


'''NOTE''': Following the instructions on this page will create a page in the main part of the wiki. If you want to experiment with writing something random on a wiki, you're welcome to do that at the [[Appropedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]].
==References==


==Detailed instructions==
* The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <nowiki> <ref> </ref> and <references/>  </nowiki>tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did. For example: <ref> web page: Department of Energy (DOE) Landscaping and Energy Efficiency, DOE/GO-10095 (1995) Available: http://www.eren.doe.gov/erec/factsheets/landscape.html</ref>


* Type the [[Help:Page naming|name]] of the new page in the '''search''' field to the left.
<references/>
** Use a clear and descriptive name, in lower case except for proper names, and avoid these symbols: & # < > [ ] | { }  (see [[Help:Page naming]] for details)
<nowiki>
* Click '''Go'''.
Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in
* If there is no page titled with that name, you can create the page by clicking '''create this page''' under search results.  
* Add information.  Do not worry about formatting or completeness if you are not sure how to do it. Others will help and changes are easily made. Be '''[[Appropedia:Be bold!|BOLD]]'''.
* Please put at least one category tag at the end, for example: <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Renewable energy]]</nowiki></tt>. If you're not sure which category to use, you can add {{tl|catneeded}}, which will ask for other users to help choose categories. If you're keen, you might want to browse the [[Special:Categories|categories]], or create a new one if there isn't a similar one already.
* Click '''Show preview''' to see what you have created.
* If you would like be alerted when someone makes a change to this page, select '''Watch this page'''.
* Add a '''Summary''' and click '''Save Page''' when you are satisfied.  Come back as often as you like, to make changes.


== Starting with a pre-filled page ==


These tools below may be helpful.


(If you accidentally try creating a page that already exists, it won't overwrite the page - it will just fill the edit box with the existing page instead - if you're not sure, check and the "page" tab will be a blue link instead of a red link).
[[Category:How tos]]
[[Category:Electricity]]
[[Category:Electric lighting]].


=== Project page ===
</nowiki>


First, browse the [[:Category:Projects|Projects]] articles and subcategories for examples, and check for collaboration opportunities, i.e. articles similar to what you're considering writing.  Once you're ready to create your own page:
[[category:OSAT 3D-Printable Designs]]
* Type a proposed [[Help:Page naming#Projects|name]] for the new [[:Category:Projects|Projects]] page in the following '''create''' box, and click "Create article".
* When the edit window opens, there will be some preliminary sample text with comments as hints.  Add information about your Projects. Do not worry about formatting or completeness, as others will help and changes are easily made. Be [[A:BOLD|BOLD]].
 
{{create project page}}
 
This starts you off with lots of "wiki markup" on the page (i.e. code, but not quite as confusing as computer code). Be sure to remove any code that you don't end up using.
 
=== Topic page ===
 
If you have some experience with editing a wiki, you might like to use this method. It's usually a good idea to search for the topic first, in case it exists under a different name (and so that you find related pages for the "See also" section.)
 
(If you're not used to wiki markup, this will be confusing - follow the [[#Detailed instructions]] above instead!)
 
{{create topic page}}
 
== From the url bar ==
 
If you use Firefox or Opera as a web browser and often create pages on Appropedia, you can make it easier and quicker to start editing.
 
Right-click one of the boxes above, and create a keyword to "search" for the page title you want - but instead of a search, it will give you the editing box pre-filled and ready to start editing!
 
E.g. use "nt" as a keyword for the Topic page creation box, above. ("nt" is short for "new topic" so it's easy to remember).
 
== User page ==
 
You may find it useful and helpful to create a user page first. See [[MediaWiki:Create_a_userpage|create a userpage]] for instructions on how to do that.

Common Problems and Solutions

  • Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings

  2. Find a commercial equivalent
  3. Calculate $ savings and % savings

References
