# Create a Wiki

`POST /nodes/{node_id}/wikis/`

Creates a new wiki page on the node with the given `name` and, optionally, initial `content`.

A wiki page with the given name must not already exist on the node; attempting to create a duplicate will result in a **409 Conflict** response.
#### Permissions
Only contributors with write access to the node may create a wiki page (or any user, if the node's wiki has been made publicly editable).
#### Returns
Returns a JSON object with a `data` key containing the representation of the newly created wiki, if the request is successful.

If the request is unsuccessful, an `errors` key containing information about the failure will be returned. Refer to the [list of error codes](#tag/Errors-and-Error-Codes) to understand why this request may have failed.
Some common error cases:
 - `405 Method Not Allowed`: Returned if write access to this node has been restricted. The response will include the message "This action is no longer available. Contact support if you have any questions."
