For example http://euwiki.ayo.biz/MyLibrary If the page doesn't exist, you'll see the following text: "MyLibrary There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page." The search and edit actions are links. Click the edit link to edit the page. You can do this from anywhere, including about.blank . 2 Write whatever you feel useful in the edit box that just opened 3 At the end of that text, add the following [[Category:User_contributions]] or whatever the category name is, with any space replaced by underscores. The category name is case sensitive. 4 While editing, it is often a good idea to hit the "Show preview" button. A preview of the page will appear above the edit box. 5 If you leave the page while the edit box is open, any change since the last save is lost. If nothing was saved, everything is lost 6 To save a page, hit the "Save page" button. This will close the edit box, save the page and display it. 7 Remember that, to modify some section of a page, you can use the "edit" links which appear, right aligned, with the section headings. 8 The toolbox that appears above the edit box doesn't show all available formatting commands. You must read the editing help to learn more.
