The help page says, in short, make a link to the page, or search for it. up near the top it will say "There is no page titled "fluugle". You can create this page." click on "create this page" to start editing the new page.

How do I link a page?

the trick is the double square brackets [[like these]] . If you like, you can also use the 'pipe' symbol to make the displayed text different from the linked article name like so : [[Durand|like so]]

Use the interwebz to embue an electronic golem with unnatural life?

I don't know much about this, but I suspect the technonomicon will direct you truly.
