* Starting a new page: I cannot create new pages by any of the methods [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page outlined here].  I had to edit this topic instead of creating an appropriate linked page.  I have found no information indicating this restriction is by design, and how to earn an exemption or request a new page.  My principal reason for creating new pages are when Talk pages do not exist and writing something (such as partial evidence against a Verify request) inside the main article would distract and confuse the reader.  There have also been instances I would have liked to work on a new topic but could not, and the information I had in mind is now lost.  [[User:13thEssence|13thEssence]] 22:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
