# Welcome to your new DokuWiki

Congratulations, your wiki is now up and running. Here are a few more tips to get you started.

Enjoy your work with DokuWiki,

– the developers

## Create your first pages

Your wiki needs to have a start page. As long as it doesn't exist, this link will be red: [/assoce/guiilde](/doc/51be2cc7-77a7-4c8b-aca4-a0a94d956370).

Go on, follow that link and create the page. If you need help with using the syntax you can always refer to the [/assoce/guiilde/wiki/syntax](/doc/b3b785b7-e3e5-4ca4-8b0e-5b17bae77e30).

You might also want to use a sidebar. To create it, just edit the [sidebar](https://wiki.iiens.net/assoce/guiilde/sidebar) page. Everything in that page will be shown in a margin column on the side. Read our [~~FAQ on sidebars~~](https://wiki.iiens.net/assoce/guiilde/doku_faq/sidebar) to learn more.

Please be aware that not all templates support sidebars.

## Customize your Wiki

Once you're comfortable with creating and editing pages you might want to have a look at the [~~configuration settings~~](https://wiki.iiens.net/assoce/guiilde/this_doku.php?do=admin&page=config) (be sure to login as superuser first).

You may also want to see what [~~plugins~~](https://wiki.iiens.net/assoce/guiilde/doku_plugins) and [~~templates~~](https://wiki.iiens.net/assoce/guiilde/doku_templates) are available at DokuWiki.org to extend the functionality and looks of your DokuWiki installation.
