From the search box

If you search for a page that doesn't exist, then you will be provided with a link to create the new page.

Using the URL

You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page.

The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:

• https://eduwiki.innopolis.university/index.php/ARTICLE

If you replace ARTICLE with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet.

To get more detailed information you can refer to the user's manual: Help:Editing pages

How to edit a page?

Clicking the "Edit" page tab at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit. Moreover, if you need not edit the whole page but only its part, you can click on "Edit" link related to this certain part and work only with it. If the text is so long it helps to save a time.

Note that only the authorized users are able to edit the content.
