Creating a MediaWiki page

Creating a MediaWiki page is somewhat similar to the page creation process for a new article in Wikipedia. The primary difference is that MediaWiki pages are part of the actual software that controls the local MediaWiki installation. Typically a MediaWiki page will be titled something like MediaWiki:MainPage, or MediaWiki:Sidebar. The very first time a user attempts to access a (properly named) MediaWiki page, the MediaWiki program will do two things:
 * 1) It will offer the user the option of creating the page being asked for.
 * 2) Once a user has opted to create the page, it will create an initial template for the given page, that the user can then alter to meet his or her particular program customization requirements.

In order to access (or create) a MediaWiki page, type in the full and exact name of the MediaWiki page you are attempting to access (or create), into the Search field of your MediaWiki installation. Next create and customize the page as described above. Happy customizing!
