=== Second test ===
Let's for example say that you want to create a page called ''Amazing New Tutorial''. (Please do not actually create a page called ''Amazing New Tutorial''. If you are looking for a sandbox to edit, you can instead use the [[sandbox]] page.)
You can start editing a non-existant page in several ways:
*The easiest way is to type the exact name you want into the "Search" bar. Since the page doesn't come up, there will be several links on the search results page to start making the article yourself.
*You can can modify the url in your address bar to go where you'd like (in this case using the address ''<nowiki>http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Amazing_New_Tutorial</nowiki>'').
*Alternately, you can modify an already existing page to include a wikilink to the new page (in this case by inserting <code><nowiki>[[Amazing New Tutorial]]</nowiki></code>). If the actual insertion of the link into the article would be inappropriate, press ''Show preview'' instead of ''Save page''. Then click the red link (indicating that the linked page does not yet exist) to bring you to the new page.
During the course of an edit, clicking ''Show preview'' (to the right of the ''Save page'' button) will help you determine if your edit looks good. This displays the final result of the edited page, but does not save it. This will avoid spamming the ''Recent changes'' page with saved edits, to the frustration of other editors.
When you are done editing, proofread it to make sure that the edit is final, and then click ''Save page'' to finally create the new page.
