How to Create a Community Page on Facebook

Community pages can't be created within Facebook, but you can create a community page de facto through Wikipedia.

Community pages are general interest pages that link to your profile and interests. Unlike official pages, community pages don't have a single author or official affiliation. That means individual users cannot create a community page -- in Facebook. But there is an easy workaround; community pages aggregate their information directly from Wikipedia, meaning that if you create a Wikipedia page for a topic that doesn't already have an entry, you create a Facebook community page by default.

Things You'll Need

• Wikipedia user ID

Instructions

1. • 1
     Navigate your browser to the Wikipedia home page and select your language. Type the name of the community page that you would like to create in the search bar on the home page. If the page does not exist yet, the results listing will include the instruction "You may create a page," followed by a red link reading as your article name. Click on the red article name.

     In the blank form for the new page, type in the full URLs to websites that contain authoritative information on the topic. Click the "Show preview" button, followed by "Save page." That creates the new Wikipedia page. Press the "Edit" button on the page to add information on the topic as you see fit. The page will also be open to editing by all other Wikipedia users.

     Navigate to your Facebook profile. Select "Edit Profile" and add the name of the Wikipedia page, verbatim, to your interests, favorite books, favorite TV shows, religion, political views --- whichever category into which it falls. Facebook will have aggregated the information from the Wikipedia page to create a community page.
