Line 19:
One simple way to start is to make this the entire body of the page:
<pre>{{stub}}{{language|Ayrch}}</pre>
That will automatically give you a basic language page, and even a nice little stub notification reminding people who visit to fill in more information.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
If you're pressed for time, browse the [[:Category:Programming Tasks|list of tasks]] and find a couple simple ones you can implement. [[User Output]], [[Loop Structures]] and [[Conditional Structures]] are some common ones that most languages support. For the sake of this demonstration, let's suppose that Ayrch looks a lot like BASIC, and implement [[User Output]].
We would need to go to that page, find where the language name would fit (alphabetically), and add this code:
<pre>
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
That's a very simple example; You might try adding some descriptive information before the <nowiki><lang></nowiki>, such as what compiler it works with, or perhaps some interesting information of how Ayrch does things differently from other languages. Whatever helps to illustrate the language and identify what makes this example interesting.
===Tasks Not Implemented===
Finally, you're going to want to create an easy way for other people to discover and add tasks that have not yet been implemented in your language.
<!-- In the bottom right of your page, click the link that says, "If you know '''Ayrch''', please write code for some of the ''tasks not implemented in Ayrch''." In the new page that opens, enter the following for the page contents:
-->
Use Search Rosetta Code to find Tasks not implemented in Ayrch. The page won't exist but you can create it as suggested in the search results.
Give the page the following content:
<pre>
{{unimpl_Page|Ayrch}}
</pre>
(replace Ayrch with your language name in the search, page name and content).
<br>
Once created, you can add a link to the new page from your language page.
==More Advanced==
Line 63 ⟶ 78:
You created a user page before doing your edits, didn't you? You don't have to, but it generally helps in identifying who created and contributed what.
In your user page (not your user talk page), try adding a user box. That generally looks something like this:
<pre>{{mylangbegin}}
