When a link points to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be coloured red.  Clicking a red link will take you to the edit page where you can submit the new article.  Usually this is the best way to create a new page, because it means that right from the start the page will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki.  Normally there is no reason to create a page without first creating a red link to it.  An alternative is to search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box), which will provide a link to create a new stand-alone page.

If you are uncertain whether a page exists or not, try searching for keywords before creating your page; to avoid duplication.
