Start the essay as a draft in the userspace.
Be concise and to the point.
Tag the essay with {{essay}}.
Use {{nutshell}} to summarize the gist of the essay.
Create a shortcut that redirects to the essay.
Categorize the essay, and use any relevant navigational templates.
Move the essay to the project space when finished.
Creating the essay page[edit]
A Wikipedia essay may be written by anyone. Before creating an essay, it is a good idea to check if similar essays already exist. Check the "see also" section of relevant guidelines and related essays, or perform a search of Help and Project pages.
If you find an essay similar to the one you intend to write, it is recommended you modify the existing one to include your ideas.
Labeling the page as an essay[edit]
