# Getting Started

• Creating an account and logging in is not required for viewing or editing pages. However, doing so provides additional features, and is recommended. Refer to the Create Account, Log In, and Preferences links on the top right of every page. Once you have created an account you can create a User page, by clicking your Username.
• To create a new page enter the name of the page you want to create following the '=' in the URL, and then select Create. Another way to create a new page is to select a Red link (which indicates a link to a page that does not yet exist), and then select Create.
• To edit an existing page, select Edit.
• Refer to the following documentation on Wiki Markup Formatting.
• Here are some Wiki Markup Formatting examples.
