Supplying information to your users is of course a basic and important task for your web site. To provide this information, Drupal provides two default content-types, the "Page" and the "Story." There is little difference between the two; the distinction is maintained primarily to allow a basic categorization of different content for organizing the site. The examples in this article refer to the "Page" content type.

Considerations:

A primary function of a Wiki is to allow page creation when a page doesn't exist. Since Drupal has specific handling for non-existent pages, it is important to override Drupal's default handling. This is done via URL rewriting. In Apache you would use mod_rewrite functionality.

Once you have created and published a web page, you will want to give users access to it. As with web pages everywhere, this is done primarily by creating links to the new document in the form of hyper-links. A hyper-link can either be embedded in the content of another page, or appear as an entry in a menu.
