The following are the steps to create a wiki home page for the work your team is doing in an existing wiki space.

  1. Navigate to the wiki page that is the most logical parent for your page.
  2. Add a page, as described in Adding a Page or a Blog Post
  3. Restrict viewing or editing of the page or both if you wish, as described in Restricting Who Can View and Edit Pages
  4. Add child pages to your wiki home page to create a page family that is a useful hierarchy of pages for your team.
  5. Consider adding a list of links that point to the child pages, as described in Putting a List of Child Pages on a Page. The left sidebar has these links, but some users hide that sidebar.  

Only a system administrator or a wiki administrator with a special permission can create a Space. Creating Spaces is usually not needed. If you can't find a Space that could contain your topic, or you want to hide a large number of pages on different topics all related to one large topic, send a request to NCICB Application Support (ncicb@pop.nci.nih.gov0 to request a Space and the LDAP Groups that will work in that Space.

To create a "wiki home page," open a page on the general topic that should contain your topic. Choose the page that's the most logical higher level container for your page (the same way you pick a high level topic in an outline, to put a topic under). On that page, click the Add Page link.

When the new page editing window opens, type your page title and text in the usual way. When you're done, click Save.
