Starting a new page with form

From the menu (located next to the search icon), select "Special pages" > "Start of form".
Pick the Infobox template from the dropdown menu, and enter the title of the page.
(If you type "Abc PSP", the url of the page will be https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Abc PSP)
Fill in the following details for the infobox:
- title
- image
- description
- author
- lastupdated
- type (see note below)
- version
- download
- website
- source (optional)
Add the content under the "Free text" section.

Starting a new page without form

From the browser address bar, enter the url of the page you want to create (e.g. https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Abc Vita).
It will take you to a blank page on which you can edit. Click "Create", copy the Infobox template onto the page and fill in the information.
Use the "Preview" option to check for errors, and then add contents to the page.

Template (replace XXX with GB/GBA/DS/3DS/PSP/Vita/Wii/WiiU/Switch/XBOX):

{{Infobox XXX Homebrews
|title      =
|image      =
|description=
|author     =
|lastupdated=
|type       =
|version    =
|license    =
|download   =
|website    =
|source     =
}}

Page example:

{{Infobox GB Homebrews
 |title      =Abc        
 |image      =Abc.png    (from uploaded files)
 |description=Abc        (short descriptions that only show up in the table)
 |author     =Abc        
 |lastupdated=2000/01/01 
 |type       =Math       (see below section for more information)
 |version    =1.00
 |license    =Mixed
 |download   =Link
 |website    =Link
 |source     =Link
 }}
 From here on is page content.

About type

The type field will sort the page to the corresponding category. The category list can be found at www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Module:Infobox_XXX_Homebrews (replace XXX with GB/GBA/DS/3DS/PSP/Vita/WiiU/Switch/XBOX).

A list of valid type names for the GameBoy section are (inside the [' ']):

   local categories = {
       -- Applications
       ['Math']                 = {'GB homebrew applications', 'Maths applications on GB', 'GB homebrew applications'},

   }

Notes

The Homebrew Cartridge table was added quite late; to avoid complicating the database we used these Infobox fields for the data:

discussion (url for the Purchase info column)
portedby (Name of the url for the Purchase info column)
contributor (used for Availability, this has been removed from the table)
