New page

{{Template:Link/Doc/Related}}
{{Template Doc|<nowiki>Page|Text|Desc=description|Preload=boilerplate|Editintro=intro</nowiki>}}
is used to create a link to a page.

; Page : the page to link to
; Text : (optional) the text to display as the link
; Preload : (optional) When ''Page'' does not exist, following the link will create it with the page ''boilerplate'' already loaded into the editor.
; Editintro : (optional) When ''Page'' does not exist, following the link will display the page ''intro'' before the edit window rather than the normal instructions

With this template
rather than just dumping you into a blank editor if you follow a link to a page that hasn't been created yet,
''Preload'' can be used to give the editor some initial boilerplate text.
As well, ''Editintro'' can be used to give some specific instructions on how to change the boilerplate.

For illustration purpose, the following demonstration pages have been set up:
* "[[Demo/Does not exist]]" is a page that hasn't been created.
* "[[Demo/Boilerplate]]" is boilerplate text that we want to have loaded into our editor.
* "[[Demo/Editintro]]" are the instructions we want to see when we start creating the page.

{{demo table|
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate|Editintro=Demo/Editintro}}</nowiki>|{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate|Editintro=Demo/Editintro}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate}}</nowiki>|{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|Editintro=Demo/Editintro}}</nowiki>|{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|Editintro=Demo/Editintro}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|this page|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate}}</nowiki>|{{Link/Create|Demo/Does not exist|this page|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate}} }}
}}
