==Creating a new page==
{{TOChorizontal|Media players|Utilities|System Tools|File Browsers|Save Managers|Operating Systems|Math|Music|Other}}
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.
{{#cargo_query:
 
tables=Infobox_3DS_Homebrews
==Using the Form==
|where= type="Media players"
Go to [https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Special:Forms Special:Forms], select the appropriate platform for the project (e.g. DS, 3DS, Vita).
|fields= CONCAT('[[',_pageName,'|',title,']]')=Title, description=Description, version=Version, author=Author(s), lastupdated=Last Updated
 
|format=dynamic table
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>
|rows per page=500
 
|order by=lastupdated desc
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.

Creating a new page

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.
