=== Help: Creating a page ===
When viewing any page on a Healthpages.wiki, you'll find three main navigation elements:
 
 
 
# The sidebar on the left gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as Recent changes or main categories.
 
# At the top of the page are links (often called tabs) which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page, the version history, and—most notably—the edit link.
 
# In the top right corner you'll find user links; as an anonymous user, you'll see a link to create an account or log in (they are the same page). As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.
 
 
 
'''User Links'''
 
 
 
The user links are displayed at the top far right of the article. These tabs allow the logged-in user to view and edit their user page and wiki preferences. Additionally, the user links allow the user to quickly access their contributions to the wiki and logout.
 
 
 
For anonymous users the user links is replaced by a link to the wiki login page or, if enabled, a link to your IP address and your IP address's talk page.
 
 
 
'''“<username>”'''
 
This links to your user page which is where you can put information about yourself, store bits of information you want to remember or whatever else you fancy.
 
'''“talk”'''
 
This links to your discussion page, where people can leave messages for you.
 
'''“preferences”'''
 
Allows you to change your personal site preferences.
 
'''“watchlist”'''
 
A list of all pages that you are watching. Pages can be added to this list by clicking “watch” at the top of the page.
 
'''“contributions”'''
 
A list of all contributions you have made to the wiki.
