Hello Mike, best is to first check if the name is already in use by a search. For instance search results for Lloyd :
 +
http://camera-wiki.org/index.php?search=LLoyd&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go
 +
 +
You will see that "LLoyd" is already present on the pages about Hüttig, ICA and Zeiss Ikon. So maybe the Lloyd was already made before the merger to Zeiss Ikon or they are 3 different cameras.
 +
Now you can edit one of these pages and put the name Lloyd between double brackets like this [[Lloyd]]. The name then becomes a page link and is shown in red.
 +
Now when you click on that red page link a creation page will open which you can edit and save. The page name will be blue when it exists.
 +
When the Lloyds of those companies are different cameras then it is better to start the page name with the company name like e.g. this [[Hüttig LLoyd]].
 +

If you have any more questions then please send a mail to one of us administrators and we gladly will help you out.

Happy editing<br>

Thanks for continuing to add links to your manuals! If you'd care to write a few words on your user page with a link to your site, I think it would help a some wiki editors make the connection, "oh THAT Mbutkus." ;-) --Vox 08:09, 3 December 2011 (PST)

Great, Mike--I've moved what you wrote to your user page and made the link "live." Feel free to add anything else there (including special links, photos, etc.) --Vox 15:04, 3 December 2011 (PST)

Mike - Thanks for adding a lot more info and links. I've made a few edits to some pages just to keep them in the same general style as our other Wiki pages (like headings not all in caps.) Geoff H (talk) 19:06, 1 July 2017 (CDT)

Starting new page for Zeiss Ikon camera

Have manual for Zeiss Ikon Lloyd-camera. Want to start a new page. I added it the Zeiss Ikon list, how do I make a blank page ?


Hello Mike, best is to first check if the name is already in use by a search. For instance search results for Lloyd : http://camera-wiki.org/index.php?search=LLoyd&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go

You will see that "LLoyd" is already present on the pages about Hüttig, ICA and Zeiss Ikon. So maybe the Lloyd was already made before the merger to Zeiss Ikon or they are 3 different cameras. Now you can edit one of these pages and put the name Lloyd between double brackets like this Lloyd. The name then becomes a page link and is shown in red. Now when you click on that red page link a creation page will open which you can edit and save. The page name will be blue when it exists. When the Lloyds of those companies are different cameras then it is better to start the page name with the company name like e.g. this Hüttig LLoyd.

If you have any more questions then please send a mail to one of us administrators and we gladly will help you out.

Happy editing
