My Sandbox:

Method 3

STEP 1. Create the "metadata template." It's OK, you don't need to know what this means.  :-)


(1) Decide on a new article name. (See Topic Choice and Naming Conventions.)

(2) In the box above, replace ARTICLE_NAME with the new article name,
making sure that you leave "Template:" and "/Metadata" around the new name.
(3) Then press the button.
(4) On the page that appears, put the title in again across from pagename =.
You might also fill out the checklist part of the form. Ignore the rest.
See this page if you're curious. Don't worry--you'll get the hang of it right away.

(5) Save.

STEP 2 - Make the Talk page
On the newly saved page, click on the "Talk" tab, place the text {{subpages}} in the page and save it.

STEP 3 - Make the Approval page
On the newly saved Talk page, click on the "Please create the Approval page" link and save the page. It is automatically filled in correctly.

STEP 4 - Make the Main page
On the newly saved Approval page, click on the "Main" page and start the article. Place the text {{subpages}} on the first line. Write the article and save it when finished.
