| We are grateful for every article and image added to The Nelson Mandela Bay Wiki.
| |

| The Wiki follows a standard categorisation format. The main format being that page titles are related to specific addresses.
| |
| | |
| For example, if you want to create a page for a business like [[13 Mangold Street, Newton Park|Straton Electrical]], then the page title will be [[13 Mangold Street, Newton Park|13 Mangold Street]] and reference the [[Newton Park]] category.

| If you do not have the time (or inclination) to create your own Wiki page then we have some free and paid for solutions.
