Then click the "Search" button, which will bring up the "Search Results" page. Click the link text in the first line that says, "create this page".

4. Now, paste the wiki text of the blank template into the "Editing " field on the new product page.
5. Then, fill in the fields in the new blank page for the new product, being careful to edit only data — to the right of the equal sign on each template line — and not the formatting, so as to keep the page structure intact.
6. Then click the "save page" just below the editing field to save the page and see what it looks like. Repeat the "edit" and "save" steps (or use preview) as necessary to refine the new page.
- You may want to refer to this example product for guidance on how to use the basic fields.
