Once you've set up a wiki app, you can create wiki articles in it. First, you can work with a draft of the wiki articles, and when you're ready, you can publish it.

You can provide your wiki articles in multiple languages or, if your platform uses automatic translations, let your users machine translate them to their preferred language when they're reading them.

Depending on the app's publishing permissions, you may need to be an admin of the page or community to create and publish wiki articles.

Create a wiki article draft

1. Select Create article to start a new article.
2. Give your article a meaningful title that best reflects its content.
3. If you're creating a sub-article, select its parent article in Create in. A sub-article is displayed under the parent article that it's assigned to.
4. Write the content for your article in the rich text editor. You can also select Switch to advanced mode to add widgets to expand the article further. Learn more in Adding widgets.
5. Add Hashtags to complement your article and make it easier to find.
6. Check if you'd like to display a Related wiki articles section at the end of each article to help direct users to related articles based on hashtags. The section displays other articles with at least one common hashtag. By default, the first 5 related articles will be shown, but more can be loaded. The ordering of the related articles is based on the number of shared hashtags.
7. Select Save to save your wiki draft and exit the editor. This allows you to preview what the article will look like when published.

Optionally, you might be able to provide your article in other languages. Learn more in Providing wiki articles in multiple languages.

When you're ready to publish your article, you can proceed to the next steps.

Publish a wiki article

1. In the article editor, select the Publish tab.
   • If you've exited the editor, you can go back to it by selecting > Edit
2. Select Publish as the Status.
3. Optionally, check to send a Review reminder on a specified date. This sends a notification to all admins and the article's author on the selected day to remind them to review the article. Additionally, you can include a note with the reminder. Learn more in Reviewing wiki articles.
4. Select Publish to publish the article.

After publishing a wiki article, a notification is sent to all users who are members of the community or subscribers of the page where the wiki app is located. The notification cannot be turned off.

A New label is displayed for 5 days on a new wiki article.
