 ===Creating a New Wiki Page===
-Creating a new page is simple:
+Unintuitively, you first create a link to the page you want to make before you can make the page.
-# Create an account
+To make a new page:
-# Click 'edit' on the on the main page and scroll to the line where you want to insert a link to your page
-# With Visual Editor enabled (by default) either right-click and choose "insert/edit link" or click on the "insert/edit link" in the visual editor menu bar.
+# Create an account and confirm through e-mail
-# Then insert a descriptive page title in the Page field and allow enough time for the field to complete searching.  Once the field has completed searching for pages of the same title, add a brief description which will become the linked text on the page.

+===If the pop-up fails===
 If there are issues with this method of inserting a link, there is another method that is a bit more manual.  Click to edit the page and place the cursor on the line where you want the link to appear.  Then insert a link by typing <nowiki>[[</nowiki> followed by the page name then followed by <nowiki>]]</nowiki>.  If you want the page name to be different than the link text you can separate the link by typing | between the link and the text.  Se examples below:
