There are two places you can put your first article. You can start it in a ''Sandbox'' (which makes it obvious that it is a work in progress, or just a practice page), then when it is far enough along, move it to a permanent article titled with the subject of the article. Alternatively, you can start it in a new page titled with the subject of the article. The choice is yours. Here are instructions for each approach.

===Using a Subject Title===
It is good to start a new article titled with the subject, even if you only put a small amount of information there. Others can expand the article collaboratively later. Just make sure you are not duplicating an existing subject -- here are detailed [[Proteopedia:How_to_Make_a_Page#Creating_the_page|instructions]].
If the article needs a lot of additional content, you can insert <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> at the top, which generates this:
{{Stub}}
