Hi Jo Anne. You don't need to be an administrator to edit the wiki,
you just need to click on the "edit" tab. If a link appears in red,
then you can create the page for it by clicking on the link. You can
create a new page by searching for the page title. If the title
doesn't exist, then you can click on the bold red text to create the
page. Most of the formating can be done from the icons at the top of
the editor.
Right now anyone can edit the wiki without logging in, but you may
need to answer a simple math problem to finish. When you are ready
you can sign up for a user name and password. When you log on to edit
the wiki keeps track of what changes are yours.
