<h3>Create and Follow a Wiki Link</h3>
One way to create a new page is by creating a wiki link to it from another page.  For example, suppose I was working on a page about spoken languages and I want to link to a new page about Norwegian as type of spoken language.  Then I could create the link:
<pre lang="Bash">[[Norwegian]]</pre>
Subsequently, clicking on the link would take me into edit mode for the new page.
<h3>Browse to a URL</h3>
You can also initiate a new page by browsing to the URL that you would like the page to reside at.  It's probably worth taking a moment to decide the hierarchy one would like.  Suppose for example, you want to write about the Catalan Language.  You may create a page at:
<pre lang="Bash">/Languages/Spoken/Catalan</pre>
On the other hand, you may want to write about the Perl computer programming language.  This could be done at:
<pre lang="Bash">/Languages/Programming/Perl</pre>
In either case, simply type in the URL of the page you want to create, then you will be prompted to create it.
<h2>Wiki Syntax</h2>
You can choose one of two wiki sytnax for you wiki.  Either <em>textile</em> or <em>markdown</em>.  See the Site Settings for the option to choose.    When in edit mode, one can access a help link to either wiki syntax.  One can also use or mixin HTML.
