Help:Unknown Entities Pages

Added extensions:

• Extension:Create_Page

Page name convention

Unknow_category_NNNN ie Unknown_Deployments_0000, Unknown_Deployments_0001

incremental creation of unknown entity pages

Extension:Create_Page function

{{#createpage:|Your page name|button text|Template:ThaWillFillPage}}

{{#createpage:|Your page name|button text|Template:ThaWillFillPage}}

which I can see being applied as

{{#createpage:|Unknown_Deployments_NNNN|Create Unknown Deployment|Template:Deployments}}

{{#createpage:|Unknown_Deployments_NNNN|Create Unknown Deployment|Template:Deployments}}
