[pmwiki-users] Confusing creation of new pages in wiki hiearchy??

[Nelson E. Ingersoll]

Carlos,

    The question mark indicates that the actual file which the link 
references has not yet been created.  Click on the link and PmWiki will 
present you with a link requesting that the file be created.  At that 
point you will be put into the edit window for that page.

    I recommend typing a simple title and then click the SAVE button.  You 
will then see your title in it's new page.  Thereafter click on the EDIT 
link/button when that page is displayed and you can change it.  Also note 
now, that the sideBar link will no longer have the '?' associated with the 
link.

    Just typing a link into a page does not create the page.
