All initiative wiki pages consist of three key components: **//YourInitiative Header//** which displays **//YourInitiative// PageTabs** and **//YourInitiative// SidebarRight**, the content of the page, and the default footer with a link "Back to Top". Initiative wiki pages also include an optional component of a stylized introductory paragraph, such as this paragraph. Aside from **//YourInitiative Header//**, the default footer, and the stylized introductory paragraph, creating and editing an initiative wiki page is just like creating and editing any other wiki page.====== toc =Anatomy of an Initiative Page=

=Create A New Initiative Page From a Default Template= The instructions below will walk you through creating a new initiative wiki page from a default initiative page template. Default initiative template names begin with **//tpl_initiative_//**. Sometimes these templates are prefixed by wikispaces with //space.template.//.


 * 1. || Starting from any page in the wiki:
 * Click on the plus icon next to Pages and Files in the left sidebar to **Add Page or File**. || [[image:wug_wikihome_clickaddpagesfiles.png]] ||
 * 2. || After you click on the "Pages and Files" icon a new screen will appear: Make New Page. Then enter the following in the appropriate fields and click **Create**
 * Page Name = //Follow any page naming standards your initiative has established//
 * Use a Template = Select the necessary initiative template from the list.
 * Add Tags = Enter the appropriate tags for your initiative "//initiative name//, //initiative acronym//". || [[image:wug_makenewpage_initpage.png]] ||
 * 3. || After you click **Create** the wiki will display your new page in Edit mode. The template has already added a widget at the top for embedding the template header //tpl_initiative_hdr//, placeholder content to get you started, and a widget at the bottom for embedding the default footer //inc_contentleft_end//. || [[image:wug_initpage_editmode.png]] ||
 * 4. || Before adding your content you need to change the link for the first embedded page so it displays //YourInitiative Header//, not the template header //tpl_initiative_hdr//. || [[image:wug_initpage_verifyhdrlinkbefore.png]] ||
 * 4a. || Click **Edit Widget** to open the Widgets **Embed Content of a Wiki Page** widget dialogue || [[image:wug_initpage_clickeditwidget.png]] ||
 * 4b. || In the **Embed Content of a Wiki Page** dialogue, highlight the name of the template header in the **Page Name** field. || [[image:wug_initpage_hilitehdrlink.png]] ||
 * 4c. || With the Page Name highlighted, begin typing the name of //YourInitiative Header// and select **//YourInitiative Header//** in the list. || [[image:wug_initpage_selectinithdr.png]] ||
 * 4d. || Click **Embed Wiki Page** to update the link to //YourInitiative Header// and close the Edit Widget dialogue. || [[image:wug_initpage_embedinithdr.png]] ||
 * 4e. || If you mouse over the Included Page widget you will now see that it links to //YourInitiative Header//. || [[image:wug_initpage_verifyhdrlinkafter.png]] ||
 * 5. || After you've embedded //YourInitiative Header//, you can modify the placeholder content and add any new content. Note that the first paragraph of content is set to use text style Heading 6. This will display the first paragraph as stylized introductory text once you've saved the page. || [[image:wug_initpage_h6intro.png]] ||
 * 5a. || You can view the different default text styles for each Heading and Normal text in the editor toolbar. If you do not want this first paragraph to display differently from other content simply change the text style to **Normal**.


 * TIP**: Do //not// set your introductory paragraph as Heading 1, Heading 2, or Heading 3 since these will display the full content of the paragraph in any Table of Contents for that page. || [[image:wug_initpage_selecth6.png]] ||
 * 6. || Once you've changed the link to //YourInitiative// Header and added your content, click **Save** in the editor toolbar to save your page and exit Edit mode. || [[image:wug_initpage_savepage.png]] ||

=Create A New Initiative Page From Scratch= The instructions below will walk you through creating a new initiative wiki page from scratch.

 * 1. || Starting from any page in the wiki:
 * Click on the plus icon next to Pages and Files in the left sidebar to **Add Page or File**. || [[image:wug_wikihome_clickaddpagesfiles.png]] ||

 * Add Tags = Enter the appropriate tags for your initiative "//initiative name//, //initiative acronym//". || [[image:wug_makenewpage_initscratch.png]] ||
 * 3. || After you click **Create** the wiki will display your new page in Edit mode. Because you did not select a template your new page will be blank. || [[image:wug_initscratch_blankpage.png]] ||
 * 4. || Before adding your content you need to embed //YourInitiative Header// and the default footer. To embed **//YourInitiative Header//**: ||  ||
 * 4a. || Click the **Embed Widget** icon to open the **Widgets** dialogue. || [[image:wug_initscratch_clickwidgethdr.png]] ||

 * 4e. || If you mouse over the Included Page widget you can verify that it links to //YourInitiative Header//. || [[image:wug_initscratch_verifyhdr.png]] ||
 * 5. || After you've embedded //YourInitiative Header// you need to embed the default footer. To embed //inc_contentleft_end// follow the same process as embedding your header: ||  ||
 * 5a. || Add three or four blank lines after //YourInitiatve Header// to allow space for content then click the **Embed Widget** icon to open the **Widgets** dialogue. || [[image:wug_initscratch_clickwidgetftr.png]] ||

 * 5d. || Click **Embed Wiki Page** to embed the default footer, **//inc_contentleft_end//**, into your page and close the Edit Widget dialogue. || [[image:wug_initscratch_clickembedftr.png]] ||
 * 6. || After you've embedded //YourInitiative Header// and the default footer, you can begin adding your new content. If you want the first paragraph of content to be stylized as an introduction, use text style Heading 6. The first Heading 6 of any initiative wiki page will display as introductory text once you've saved the page. || [[image:wug_initscratch_h6intro.png]] ||
 * 6a. || You can view the different default text styles for Normal and Heading text in the editor toolbar. If you do not wish this first paragraph to display differently from other content simply change the text style to **Normal**.

 * 7. || Once you've added //YourInitiative Header//, the default footer, and your content, click **Save** in the editor toolbar to save your new page and exit Edit mode. || [[image:wug_initscratch_savepage.png]] ||
