How to create or make a new page
How do I create a new page?
There are two simple ways to create a new page:
One way to create a page is to click on the "New Page" button at the top of your wiki. Be sure to remember that you will need to create a link to this page later - otherwise, you may orphan the page.
If you have a reason to create a wiki page without linking to it, here's a little cheat - you can type the page's name into the search box in the upper right or you can just type in the new page's web address directly (http://yourwiki.pbwiki.com/NewPage) but remember that with no link to this page, it might get lonely in a hurry because people will only be able to find it through the "Show all pages" link (Located in the footnotes, under 'Wiki Information').
The second way to make a new page is to create a link to it. Wikis are unusual in that instead of encountering an error when you click on a "broken" link, the wiki will let you define it as a new page. So when you're editing your FrontPage (or any other page in your wiki), you can either type "See my news page" or "see my RecentNews". Both methods work - the first requires you to put brackets around the link you're making and the second requires you to use CamelCase.
Another way to create a link is to put square [brackets] around any word or phrase to create a new page. For example, if you wanted a page called "cars," you could just type [cars]! You can also watch a video that shows how to create pages:

PLEASE NOTE :
'wiki names', 'page names' and 'file names' - CANNOT contain any special characters, other than a dash or an underscore.
All other special characters are reserved for internet use. Would you believe that 'the apostrophe' (') is the most misused character in page and files names?

Hi Rebecca,
I'm afraid that is old info that needs to be updated for people using our Point and Click editor. This info may soon change again for users of PBwiki 2.0
Here is how to add a page in PBwiki 1.0.
How do I add a page?
The recommended way to create a new page is to do so while in editing mode. It’s possible to click the “new page” button while in viewing mode, but this new page will not automatically be linked to any other page on your wiki and can only be found by clicking the “Show All Pages” link if you forget to add a link to it on an existing wiki page.
To create a new page in editing mode:
Click “Link” in the toolbar.
Make sure “WikiPage” is selected in the “Page Type” dropdown menu.
In the “Link to wiki page” dropdown menu, select “new page”.
In “New Page Name”, write the name of your page. In “Link Text” you can type the wording of the link you would like to make to the new page. If you highlighted a word on the page before you clicked the “Link” button, that word will already be in this field.
Click "OK".
When you save the page you’re editing, if you click the link you just created, you can select a template for the new page and then start to edit the new page.
I’m hoping this helps

Inappropriate?We have pages where we have been using square brackets, not realizing the brackets were supposed to create a new page. For a while the pages were fine: the brackets showed and didn't turn into links to new pages. Now some of them are changing; maybe only when someone edits a page. This is an annoying "feature". How do you use square brackets in a page without them turning into a link?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?John,
The brackets will change the text into a new link if the page is edited using Classic mode (you can see which one you're using by clicking Edit on a page, and looking in the upper right-hand corner - if it says switch to Classic, you're using Point-and-click).
I'm not sure what the best solution would be for you. I know that if you right-click on a link in edit mode, however, it should give you two options - Edit Link or Remove Link. Remove Link will change it back to regular text, which will make the damage easier to repair.
Best of luck!
