The wiki is now up and running at http://www.lostknightsrpg.org/wiki/
Currently uploading is not configured, but everything else seems to work. I'm trying to find the settings to get image uploading set up.
Update: 8/2010
Uploads also work. Anyone wanting to get an account should contact me via forum private message, Skype, phone, this thread, or pretty much any other means in order to schedule a time for account creation. I have to unlock account creation so you can make an account, and then relock it so that robot vandals do not destroy our Great Work.
Yes. Robot vandals.

If you do a search for something that doesn't exist, for example 'pants', it will bring up a page that says "There is no page titled "pants". You can create this page." Click the 'create this page' link to get an editing window. There are several other ways to accomplish this, but that is the easiest.
Check out this page for a crash course in wiki syntax. It's pretty easy.

Basically if you want to link to another wiki page simply enclose a word or phrase [[like this]]. This will attempt to link to the page, if it doesn't exist, you can click the link to create the page as above.
I recommend registering, and then clicking your user name in the top right to experiement on your own User Page, or use Wikipedia's sandbox, which is buried in their help documentation somewhere.
After I figure out how to enable image uploads, I'll post a quick guide for uploading images, and some brief guildlines for how I think pages should be formatted (for example, we should create some categories 'Characters' 'nWoD' 'GURPS' 'Avilister's Characters' and such so that we can easily find other pages).
Edit. I've edited our wiki's help page to have a link to Wikipedia's help page for easy reference. I'll gradually add tutorials and other helpful links there.

My Color is Blue
I value Knowledge, logic, and deceit. I love to pursue wisdom but also to manipulate and deceive. At my best, I am brilliant and progressive. At my worst, I am treacherous and cold. My symbol is a water droplet. My enemies are green and red.

Try refreshing the page, it might be cached locally.
Wikimedia software is weird about formatting stuff. It doesn't expect people to use it for listing things like character sheets. Eventually, I'll probably get fed up and create some templates for common games, but until then...
In the event that you want to list stats, as I did in my sheet, or any list of things where you want there to be a line break there are two options. One is to leave a blank line between the items. Another is to use the html tag <br> which is a hard break-return that will immediately end the line and start a new one.
