+You can create a new wiki page by typing the CamelCase name of the page in the quick-search field at the top of the page, or by trying to view a wiki page of that name. Note that a page is "orphaned" by default until it is linked to from another page. 
 
- 1. Choose a name for your new page. See WikiPageNames for naming conventions.
- 1. Edit an existing page, and add a hyperlink to your new page. Save your changes.

+
+While choosing a good [WikiPageNames page name] is important for usability purposes, you can always rename the page later. You will need the WIKI_RENAME permission to rename pages.
+
+When renaming a page, you'll be offered the possibility to create a page at the old location that contains a link to the new page, so that links pointing to the old location are not "dangling" (i.e. pointing to a non-existent page).
