  • Change the "YOUR_PAGE_NAME" portion of the link to a name better suited for your inworld business.
Spaces are ok, but please do NOT use punctuation, just to prevent any possible formatting issues. You can use any desired punctuation with the name in the BODY of the page.
If it's not a number, a letter or a space, it's punctuation. This includes &, ', !, ^ and so on.
  • Now hit enter.
4) You'll be taken to a page with the title that you changed "YOUR_PAGE_NAME" to, along with a notation about it not being created yet. This is normal wiki behavior.
