4. '''Save the page''': Submit the form to create the article. Use the VisualEditor for a “What You See Is What You Get” experience, or switch to “Edit source” for precise wikitext editing.

Your edit will be logged in the article’s history and your user contributions.<ref name="SaintapediaMain" />
