When creating a new page check to make sure there is not a variation of it before creating it. Be aware that capitals are important for titles of a wiki page, for example this page 'FAQ' would be a different page than the page 'faq'. Please be aware of this and keep things consistent as needed. It's generally a good idea to capitalize the first letter of each page name - for consistency as well as cosmetically.
