There are several ways to create a new page but all of them require that you first Log-in

==By visiting the page==

# Type the address for the new page into the address bar of your browser. Since the page does not exists because you performed the searches discussed above, MediaWiki will suggest to create it.

# Select a template from the left side of the page that opens. DocumentationTemplate is a default template you can use for any page. There are also some specialized templates to choose from.
 +
 +
==Add a link on another page==
 +
# Edit another page
 +
# Add a link to the new page as <nowiki>[[Name With Spaces]]</nowiki>

# Save the page and click the new link
 +
# Click one of the template names
