Your wiki needs to have a start page. As long as it doesn't exist, this link will be red: <a href="/wiki/doku.php?id=start" class="wikilink1" title="start">start</a>.
</p>
<p>
Go on, follow that link and create the page. If you need help with using the syntax you can always refer to the <a href="/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:syntax" class="wikilink1" title="wiki:syntax">syntax page</a>.
</p>
<p>
You might also want to use a sidebar. To create it, just edit the <a href="/wiki/doku.php?id=sidebar" class="wikilink2" title="sidebar" rel="nofollow">sidebar</a> page. Everything in that page will be shown in a margin column on the side. Read our <a href="https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq%3Asidebar" class="interwiki iw_doku" title="https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq%3Asidebar">FAQ on sidebars</a> to learn more.
</p>
<p>
Please be aware that not all templates support sidebars.
