No you don't need to know about HTML, but; formatting a wiki page does require some learning of the wikis own version of a markup language, which is then transformed into HTML by the wiki software.

To start a new paragraph, leave a blank line.

The are a set of buttons at the top of the edit page. They create example content, eg for Bold text , Italic text, etc use those, or just remember on media wiki three quotes is bold, two quotes italic.
