Editors are allowed to edit non-discussion pages, except for some protected pages. The site contains Open problem pages, Open problem categories, and also Definition and Theorem pages that can be referred to in the open problems.
 
To create a new page, type its title in the search box and click Go. On the subsequent page there will be a "create this page" option if the page does not exist yet.
==Open problems==
* It is useful to create separate pages for definitions and theorems that may be referred to on several pages. These pages have their own categories: <nowiki>[[Category:Definitions]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Category:Theorems]]</nowiki>.
* Links to Wikipedia pages can be added like this: <nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Matroid]]</nowiki>.
* It is easy to add images to pages. You can upload an image using the [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] link on the left. Please do not upload large images. After you have uploaded MyImage.jpgpng, you can include it on a page by writing <nowiki>[[File:MyImage.jpgpng]]</nowiki>.
==Open problem categories==
Each open problem category has a separate page, which is '''not''' the page in the Category namespace. For example the page for Packing common bases is [[Packing common bases]], not <nowiki>[[Category:Packing common bases]]</nowiki> (the latter should be redirected to the former). Here again the simplest way to understand the structure and syntax is to check out an existing page.
* To include the text of an open problem on the page, you can use <nowiki>{{IncludeOpenProblem|Open problem name}}</nowiki>. This displays the description of the problem in a box.
* The page has a References section at the end. You do not have to add categories. However, if you create a new open problem category, please add <nowiki>[[Category:Open Problem Categories]]</nowiki> to the '''page in the Category namespace'''.
