An '''Editing help''' link will appear at the bottom of the editing form, use it to learn about wiki formatting.

Always try to find the most appropriate place to create your page, and link to it from anywhere appropriate. Since Wikis have very free from structures, occasional "Wiki gardening" is inevitable.
