Creating a Wikipedia article involves eight key steps. First, research the topic extensively to gather reliable sources and verify notability. Next, create a Wikipedia account or log in if you have one. Then, use the "Article Wizard" or search for your topic to ensure it doesn't already exist. If it's a new topic, click "Create Article." Begin drafting, focusing on neutrality and verifiability, and use Wikipedia's formatting tools. Cite sources throughout. When you're satisfied with your draft, click "Publish" to make it live. Your article will then be subject to community review and potential revisions. Engaging with the Wikipedia community can help refine and improve your article.
