To create a page on a wiki, all you do is type in whatever you want the URL
to be.  If it doesn't exist, it'll just go straight to "create this page."
This also works so that if you create a link from one page to another, if
the other one doesn't exist, the link is a different color (at least on
Wikipedia) and clicking it takes you to the "crate this page."
