Make a Wiki page

Q.

How do I create a new wiki page? Can I create a table of contents for my wiki?

A. 

A wiki is a collection of collaboratively authored web documents. Basically, a wiki page is a web page everyone in your class can create together, right in the browser, without needing to know HTML. A wiki starts with one front page. Each author can add other pages to the wiki by simply creating a link to a page that doesn't exist yet. To create a new page, either type the page name between double square brackets [[page name]] OR you can select New from the Wiki menu in the Navigation block.
