Make this link on your main page [[Create new article]]. On that page explain how to create a link to a new article by either creating a link to it or fiddling with the url (that is done by replacing the string after "title=")

Hi -
I'm new to the list and new to wikimedia. Sorry if this is a simple question - but I've read through the online documentation and can't seem to find any info about this.
I recently installed 1.4b6 "out of the box" and am trying to figure out a way to make it easy for my users to create new articles.
On en.wikipedia.org, if a user searches for something but there is no match, "create an article with this title" and "put up a request for it" links show up on the results page.
But on my installation, there is no easy way (that I've been able to find) to create new articles other than the direct-URL method.
Is there any way to turn this on somewhere, or do I need to do custom coding?
Thanks!
