I volunteered to edit this page, reorganize the structure a bit and separate basic instructions from more complex options. Also going to add a bit more definition to the "template" area, probably with a screencap (suggestions welcome) and the actual text that can be pasted into a blank page.

I want to make a page for the zine that I edit.
I have the template. What do I do next? Quinn73 (talk) 23:18, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
How do I get started? Quinn73 (talk) 23:19, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Quinn73! I'm one of the Fanlore Gardeners :) You'll want to create a new page for the zine. This tutorial outlines a few different methods for doing that: Help:Tutorial#How do I create a new article. Once you have the page created, you can go ahead and paste the template you found, and fill out any relevant details like title, length, date of publication, etc. For the body of the page, I would suggest taking a look at Help:Zines, as well as some of our existing Zine pages to get a sense of what sections most people add. Hope that helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :) --Mokuroh (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- I still don’t know how to do it. I followed the instructions but when I type the title of my new page in the search box there is no way to make the new page. I don’t know what to do.
- Hi again Quinn73, I moved your edit down here to keep all the messages together. You can reply below my edit to continue the conversation :) If you tell me what you wanted to call the page, I can probably grab the link for you to create it, if that's easier.--Mokuroh (talk) 22:05, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
