What page should I make? I really want to so I can be 'part of the Wiki community'CanIHelpOut (talk) 17:31, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- You don't need to write a new article to be "part of the Wiki community"; improving the articles we already have is at least as important, and it will allow you to gain experience with Wikipedia and the wiki code on the way. The community portal has lists of articles in need of improvement. In fact, writing a new article from scratch is a highly challenging task, not one I'd recommend for a new editor. If you still intend to go that route, my advice would be to choose an appropriate topic from among the requests at WP:Requested articles (there are many topics we should not have articles about, mainly due to notability concerns) and to use the Article Wizard to write a draft and to submit it for a review by an experienced editor.
