minor editing and additions
'''How do I add a page?'''
To add a page, you must first link it from another page. For instance, if The first thing to do is to search the wiki for the term you want to add a be the title of your page about your club; if it already exists, add you can put double square brackets around the club name toword, for instanceand then click Save, the [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/indexetc.php/List_of_student_groups list of student groups]as explained below. In general, go to an existing page that is related to the page you want to add. Put in something about the page you want to add, including the exact title of the page you want to create. Put that title in double square brackets. Click Save page at the bottom, and then you will see the text of your title in red on the preexisting page. Click on that, and edit away; now you have your new page. 
'''How do I delete a page?'''
You don't. You can edit a page, you can even delete all the text on a page, but general users cannot delete a page because deleting a page removes all of that pages edit history, which makes reversion or further improvement of that page possible. Where possible, we should improve pages rather than annihilate them in this way. Currently, only members of the [[Wiki_board|Willipedia board]] have the power to delete, and use it sparingly. If you think a page should be deleted, you can delete all the text on the page and put the word delete within two sets of curly brackets.
