There are two types of administrators: server administrator and individual wiki or
blog administrator. A server administrator has administrative privileges for all wikis
and blogs on the server. An individual wiki or blog administrator has administrative
privileges for a specific wiki or blog.

Creating a Wiki

Your wiki server can allow anyone who has an account on the wiki server to create a
wiki. It can also restrict who can create wikis to a specific group of people.

When you create a wiki, you become an administrator for that wiki and can then
customize the wiki to suit your needs.

To create a wiki:

1

While viewing My Page, click Wikis.

2

Click “Create a new Wiki.”

If this button isn’t shown, you can’t create a wiki on the server.

Enter a name and description for the wiki and click Create.

The line under the Wiki Name field shows a preview of the URL for the wiki. You can’t
change this URL later, but you can rename the wiki. If you want a specific URL, enter a
name that gives you the URL you want and rename the wiki later.
The description appears under the name of the wiki in the wiki list on My Page.
