To Create a new page: type the URL of the page you would like to create e.g. http://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/Mods . You will then be taken to an empty page. Click the "edit this page" link and write in the edit box and save. Keep in mind there is a preview button and remember that content can be changed as often as you like. Headings, italicisation and other effects are achieved simply by placing special characters around text e.g. use two apostrophes on either side to italicise. There is a short tutorial on the basics here and a comprehensive list of wiki formatting here.
