Creating an Article. That'll probably be the one of the first things you want to do. But how do you achieve this? Well in this section of our fantasmic help section you can find out!
Step 1: Creation

Step 3: Formatting
We'll get to MFGG's prefered methods of formatting later, but the goal here is to not make it too messy. Messy articles gives other people more work to do.
Step 4: Saving
When you're done with your article click the "save page" button at the bottom of the screen and the article will be produced for all to see. HOWEVER, only click this when you're "done", not after every minor edit. i.e. don't save after every word. To see how your page looks, click "Show Preview". "Show Changes" only really applies to edits and won't help much on a brand new page.
It is important that you use the "show preview" button. There's not much point in saving 432094823 minor edits when it can all be covered in one big edit. It also helps you identify other problems such as spelling/grammar, formatting errors, etc.
Step 5: Observe
After saving your page, the article will be here for us all to see, and for us all to edit. If it's not up to scratch chances are it'll be improved by someone else. A good idea is to see what they're doing and learn from it, so if you're planning on making another similar article less extra editing will be needed. Unless the page is locked there will always be the "edit" tab above if you need to fix it up some more.
But if you've got to this stage, you've made an article. Hurray.
