An easy way to create a new wiki page is to add a link to the new page from an existing page, e.g.
```
[[GENIE:MyPage|A link to my page]]
```
. Save your changes, and the link will appear in red. When you click on the link, you will be able to edit the content of the new page.

Another way to create a new page is to type a URL in the address window and, again, a new page will automatically be created, e.g.
```
 http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/wiki/GENIE:new_page_name 
```
. Remember to link it to another page, however, or it will be left in limbo!

Below are a some examples markup used to format wikimedia pages (for more detail visit markup examples).

First click edit. Click on Show preview to see the effect of your changes, and Save page when you're happy.
