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     =
}}

{{Infobox GB Homebrews
 |title      =Abc        
 |image      =Abc.png    (from uploaded files)
