The link you found is to the "old wiki" where GeoServer documentation used
to be maintained. For over a year the GeoServer documentation has been
maintained in the manual hosted at http://docs.geoserver.org/ and the old
wiki has been used a bit for development, but the documentation there has
not been kept up-to-date. This week we finally hid the old wiki from the
web so that search engines can stop directing users to the information there
which, at this point, is usually suboptimal or just plain wrong. (it is
still available to the GeoServer developers in case of specific documents
that still need to be migrated to the new system.)
In this case, the new documentation has nice examples of data-driven styling
complete with sample data and downloadable SLDs so you can try at home.
Take a look at the "SLD Cookbook" section of the manual:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-cookbook/index.html
For each geometry type (point/polygon/line) there is a section at the end of
the page demonstrating a simple data-driven style.
Hope this helps.

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
