SharePoint Enterprise Wiki Setup

I am new to SharePoint. I am trying to setup an Enterprise Wiki for my company, that can be used as a knowledge base. At lot of important information gets lost because of a lack of infrastructure.

The system administrator gave me "contributing" rights on SharePoint.

When I try to create the Enterprise Wiki i get the following error:

ERROR

Provisioning did not succeed. Details:Failed to initialize some site properties for Web         at URL:"my sharepoint url/wiki url" OriginalException: <nativehr>0x80070002</nativehr>  <nativestack></nativestack>

Any help would be appreciated, or suggestions.

Did your system administrator create the wiki site for you or are you trying to create that yourself? If you are trying to create the wiki site and not just a new page, you need a higher permission level to do so.

According to the Microsoft support site:

You must have permission to create a site, library, or pages. Permission levels can be customized, but for most sites, you must have the Full Control permission level to create a site or library, or your administrator must enable self-service site creation. By default, members of the Site Name Owners group have the Full Control permission level, but your site may be set up differently. On most sites, you can create a page if you have the Contribute permission level. By default, members of the Site Name Members group have the Contribute permission level.
