Revision as of 14:10, 25 August 2007

Forums: Index > Help desk > Can't see a page I created



I created this page for my father: http://www.wikia.com/wiki/William_Brian_Cox#Vital_statistics

And if I do a search for "William Brian Cox" it gives zero results. What gives?

KellyAndrewCox

Depends where you do the search. That page is on Central Wikia - http://www.wikia.com.... whereas this site is http://genealogy.wikia.com....
I have found it and copied it to William Brian Cox (1931-) here. Carry on!!

OK, thanks. I think. This is just far far too difficult. I have no idea whatsoever why the page I created ended up on the wikia site, rather than the genealogy site. I followed the instructions on the genealogy site. And it is difficult to figure out even how to begin. I think I'll stick with the wikitree.org site, even though they have no discussion forum. At least they have a dead-easy guide to creating new pages.

Thanks anyway for the help.
