2. From the dropdown menu, pick the appropriate Infobox template depending on the platform (DS, PSP, etc).

3. Then type in the title of the page. For example, if you type Abc PSP, the url of the page will become https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Abc PSP).

4. Click "Create or edit", you will be redirected to the page template. The top half of the page will contain the pre-defined infobox template with a set of fields.

(The rest are optional. If you're unsure what to fill in, check the source from other pages for reference.)

6. Below the infobox form, there is a text box labeled "Free text", this is where you enter the main content for the article.
