Yes. If you are searching a Wiki and the page is not found. Then this should be near your search results.
Create the page "PageThatYouSearchedFor" on this wiki!

Or you can always manually type the page name onto the URL.
Wiki.wikkii.com/w/index.php?title=PageThatYouWantToMake
Wiki.wikkii.com/w/PageThatYouWantToMake (note this one only works if short URLs are on).

Thanks for your reply.

I tried both options, with my subdomain instead of Wikki in front. The link or button to create new page/article does not show. In the page that comes up, there is only one tab next to the Page tab, called Discussion, and there is an option to Protect or Watch the page on the right hand corner.  

The second option u have mentioned redirects to wikkii.com - maybe because the short urls are not chosen (I do not know where to do that).

As for creating a new page with search result - it just says "There were no results matching the query. "

I can post screenshots for all the options i tried, if that could be useful.

First thing then is to check you have permission to edit/create the pages in that Namespace (e.g. Main), The second is to check if you are not missing the links.

Here are links to images to show you what it should look like as such (Note that I know how to use the [img] tags just that I don't want to add extra length to this post for images (tried using a spoiler but it no works =[ ))

Dear Twibbles,

Thank you so very much for your help. It was the permissions. I just opened all of them and it worked.

Now I have to figure out which ones need to be open and which ones need to be closed. I'll do that leisurely.

Thanks again for your help.

 thumbsup

You need the permission of createpage to create a new page, Createtalk allows users to create talk pages and edit to edit the pages, these by default I think are given to all users.
