Thank you for the feedback!

Ok, I added that to the wiki page and fixed a few other things.

First create an account (link in the upper right corner). Anonymous 
editing is disabled due to spam.

You can create a new page just by calling it, e.g. 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/My_new_page
and then click on "create this page".

Have a look at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Wiki:Editing
The page links to general MediaWiki syntax but also explains the special 
formatting of our wiki.

Usually it makes sense to link _to_ your new page from a related 
(overview) page and _from_ your page back to that.

Command reference pages are special in that they read data from 
interface files and display a form to fill in explanations and examples.
(That doesn’t yet work with interface files of modules.)
