<div class="gmail-m_8487240789993269145moz-cite-prefix">This is what I do .. it works and
leaves the original page alone...<br>
<br>
1) get the "car" template<br>
On the page you want to copy Click on "edit Source" - Copy all of
it and paste it over to your your word processor as a new
document. <br>
Exit out out this "Edit Source" without saving "cancel" I think
is it - so it stays the same.<br>
<br>
2) edit the template<br>
Now in your word processor find and replace all the "car" and
replace with "caravan". Perform similar edits here - much easier
than the editor you may not be familiar with on the wiki. <br>
When your finished here ... <br>
<br>
<br>
3) create the new page<br>
Type the title of the page you want to create in the wiki search
box ... <br>
It will come up with a suggestion to create the page you want ..
click on that and you have started to create the new page :) <br>
Copy all of the stuff you have on your word processor page over to
the new page (copy and paste) .. and save it ... Done. <br>

<div>Haha, Graeme. I am in the same boat when it comes to adding
anything to the Wiki. Welcome to the arcane world of Wiki

to sympathize.</div>

<div>& yards dedicated to caravan
sales? I can find shop=car <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=car" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=car</a>,
which says it's a place that sells
cars, buses or trucks. Perhaps
shop=caravan?</div>

<div>Shop=caravan has over 100 uses, so why not?</div>

<div>With fear & trepidation :-) I am about to try
& create a page shop=caravan, then put it up for
further discussion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know this has been discussed before, but I'm
still unclear on the details (& from previous
discussions, a lot of other people are as well :-()</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The page would be fairly similar to shop=car <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dcar" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dcar</a>,
so that sounds like a good basis to start with.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I just open that page, "Edit source", change
value=car to value=caravan, then save that, I'm fairly
sure that will create a shop=caravan page ready for
further editing, but will the original shop=car page
still exist?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a better way to create a new page?</div>
