This is a form to generate an indicator page in two steps.
- Enter the name of the indicator below (without underscores). This will create the homonymous page.
- Afterwards you will see the form that mirrors the "Quick info" box, each heading and section of an indicator page (cf. an example based on the template).
If a page with that name already exists, you will be able to edit that page with the form. If you are done, do not forget to add newly created pages to the corresponding category table(s)!
