I'd be interested in hearing about the specific assignment that led you here...while wikipedia loves to contribute towards education, "create a page on wiki" is a pretty poor choice of an assignment. To quote our School and university projects - instructions for teachers and lecturers page:
 * Please do not encourage your students to create nonsense pages or add junk to articles. Though usually cleaned up very quickly, it still has to be done manually by people who would prefer to engage in more productive work on encyclopedia articles. Furthermore, your students might be blocked from editing Wikipedia for "vandalism." In egregious cases, this will result in your entire school being blocked. If you want your students to 'learn wiki' first, please ask them to read Wikipedia:Help and direct them to Wikipedia:Sandbox for any test or practice edits they wish to make.
