 **For pages on this wiki**, please use local links rather than URLs.
+===== Creating New Pages =====
+To create a new page with the Add New Page tool: click on the Add New Page icon that appears in the page header and enter a page name. The actual location and appearance depends on the device and browser.
+To create a new playground page: click on the Add New Page icon and type "playground:mynewpage". This will create the page in the [[wiki:playground]] which is a holding area for pages not yet ready for the main wiki and for experimenting.
+Creating new pages from links: it can be convenient to create a link to a page you plan to create. When you are viewing a page with a link to a non-existent page, clicking on the link gives you a chance to create it. For example, you might enter <nowiki>[[myUncreatedPage|a page I plan to create]]</nowiki>
 ===== Page Structure =====

 If you want text that would normally be "wiki-ized" to actually appear on the page, surround it with the tags
   <nowiki>{{don’t wiki me> more stuff}}</nowiki>
+Or, simply enclose the text with double percent signs ''<nowiki>%%</nowiki>''
 This is handy if you need to display syntax that would normally be wiki-ized.
 You can also precede a line with two spaces to have the wiki format it as “code” and ignore wiki syntax.
