  5. Creating a Wikispace • Create a free wiki space now. • It's fast, easy, and complete free. • You can create a wiki page for anything (well, anything that isn't pornographic, hateful, illegal, etc). • You control who can view the page and who can edit it. • The Encyclopedia of You • Wiki Space pages can be connected to personal profiles and family & friend pages on WikiTree. This enables you to create pages for special pets, family heirlooms, clubs or organizations, classes or schools, events or vacations, neighborhoods or homes, or any other place or thing that's significant to you. • All pages have sections for basic data (name, dates, location), a wiki description, memories or personal statements, photos, and a bulletin board for discussing how to grow the page with other people you trust to view and edit it. • For example, I created a page about WikiAnswers, the last website I created; about my great-grandfather's model ships; the corner store family business; and my high school. • Click here for many more Wiki Space examples or here for the full index. • Creating Wiki Space Pages • Simply login and then use this one-step form.
