Fresh Users most of the time need guidance about Mediawiki

To create a page, the easiest approach is to look up an already existing page (e.g. for a group/user/project/equipment) and then copy and paste the raw content (click "Edit" but just Ctrl+V, don't save anything) then follow the url format to create a new page. Note that we have rewrites to make URLs prettier so the new page URL should look something like this https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Group:MyNewGroup as opposed to http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/index.php?title=Group:MyNewGroup
