Most things are pretty obvious. As a first step, go to your pre-populated page and click “Edit”, look at the syntax, and go from there. Below some non obvious things that are commonly needed (this is only meant as a very short guide to the essentials)

For more details see the official, more comprehensive DokuWiki Manual and DokuWiki Syntax

    [[file_name|textline]] 

• the file you will upload will be renamed to “file_name” and “textline” will be the name of the link on the wiki page.
• on the resulting page, click the red link “textline” and follow instructions to upload the file
• if the link is not red the file name already existed.
