Medi Wiki and PBWorks

I found PBWorks less confusing than MediaWiki on which Wikipedia is based. My MediaWiki hint is to create a page from the main page, or search for a page that is unlikely to exist. Creating a page does not require an account in MediaWiki although that is encouraged. Once you click on the main page a message appears saying there is no text in this page you then click on the create tab and a message appears saying the page doesn't exist this is your opportunity to now start entering the content for your new page including the title etc. If you search for a nonexistent page the same message appears giving you the opportunity to create the page. This is kind of confusing but fine once you get used to it. I created a page however all I can not seem to get back to it??? I created an account and I verified my account by email link but it won't let me in so I've had a few issues with MediWiki.
PBWorks is easier to understand as we have been using it already. I created a page here without any hassles.
