Every forum member is allowed to change the content of the wiki and I'm sure many of them know how to do it from using http://en.wikipedia.org (it's really the same wiki software).

Just search for a word like "test" in your wiki (left search bar!), if it's not in your wiki already, then you will get a page telling you that you can create that article:

Create the page "Test" on this wiki!

Click on that "Test" link -> so you can write the content of that page.

You should make a start and setup some content on the main page by using the "Edit" link above the page content... how too? ... I cannot explain that, you need to do some research about that.
For a start: Help:Contents User's Guide

There are many MediaWiki's out there, and you can look into the source code of the main pages to get some examples.

The wiki syntax is easy to learn and you'll create soon nice articles.

Another thing, you should download/install the Extension:UsabilityInitiative
Your search field will look nicer and you will get a nicer page editor toolbar.
- download the file from that link and extract the "UsabilityInitiative" folder to the "wiki\extensions" folder.
- Add the following code to the very end of your LocalSettings.php:

PHP Code:

# Some lines to add to LocalSettings.php to get these extensions up and running:

# Vector enhancements (CollapsibleTabs, SimpleSearch, EditWarning)
require_once( "$IP/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/Vector/Vector.php" );

# Vector enhancements config
# global: Enabled for everyone, users can't disable in preferences (FIXME this behavior should change)
# user: Disabled by default, users can enable in preferences
# Shown values are defaults
$wgVectorModules = array(
    'collapsibletabs' => array( 'global' => true, 'user' => false ), // Doesn't have a user pref
    'editwarning' => array( 'global' => false, 'user' => true ),
    'simplesearch' => array( 'global' => true, 'user' => false ), // Doesn't have a user pref
);
# To really enable SimpleSearch (FIXME)
$wgVectorUseSimpleSearch = true;

# WikiEditor (Toolbar, Toc, Preview, Highlight)
require_once( "$IP/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php" );

# WikiEditor config
$wgWikiEditorModules = array(
    'highlight' => array( 'global' => true, 'user' => true ),
    'preview' => array( 'global' => true, 'user' => true ),
    'toc' => array( 'global' => true, 'user' => true ),
    'toolbar' => array( 'global' => true, 'user' => true ),
);
