New page

__NOTOC__If Grand Theft Wiki does not have an article about a certain relevant topic, you may create one.

{{create}}

==Before you create a page==
There are a couple of steps you need to take before you make a new page:

===Make sure the article does not exist===
*Search for it at [[Special:Search]] or use the search box.
*Try alternative spellings, including British and American English, and with/without punctuation
*Check relevant pages to see if there is a link
*Check relevant categories to see if you can find the page
*Make sure the content of the article (eg a Character) is not already listed as part of another page (eg [[Characters in GTA III]])

===Make sure we require a new article===
*Make sure the topic is relevant - check existing pages and categories to see if we want articles about it
*If the information is already on an existing page, then there is no reason to duplicate it unless it needs a lot more space to itself
*If you can split an existing article into two (or more) good-sized articles, then go ahead

'''If you aren't sure: [[Community Portal|Ask]]'''

==When you create a new page==
When you are making the page, there are a few things you need to take into consideration

*Make sure the page meets quality and [[Project:Consistency|Consistency]] guidelines.
*See [[Help]] if you're unsure about formatting and using images
