{{#cargo_query:
New pages can be created by using Wikilinks or the URL method (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page MediaWiki.org's Help:Starting a new page]), however, it will not appear in any of the tables unless properly indexed. For this reason, we recommend using the method below.

|where= type="Action"
==Using the Form==
|fields= CONCAT('[[',_pageName,'|',_pageName,']]')=Title, description=Description, version=Version, author=Author(s), lastupdated=Last Updated
Go to [https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Special:Forms Special:Forms], select the appropriate platform for the project (e.g. DS, 3DS, Vita).
|format=dynamic table
 
|rows per page=100
Enter the name of the project. This name will become the page's URL. For example, entering <code>A Homebrew</code> will create a page with the URL <code><nowiki>https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/A_Homebrew</nowiki></code>

Creating a new page

New pages can be created by using Wikilinks or the URL method (see MediaWiki.org's Help:Starting a new page), however, it will not appear in any of the tables unless properly indexed. For this reason, we recommend using the method below.

Enter the name of the project. This name will become the page's URL. For example, entering A Homebrew will create a page with the URL https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/A_Homebrew

Tip: It is recommended to add a platform suffix to the page name (e.g. A Homebrew 3DS) to differentiate between homebrews/ports for multiple platforms.

Click Create or edit to open the form.

Form fields

The form is split into two sections:

  • The top section with predefined fields. Data entered here is indexed for query.
