Here are some basic things you can do:

Click on the rich editor at the top of the editing page if you need a better view for editing.


if you want to edit in wikicode, you can do these things:

To format your information on a page, you can refer to this page for info (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting .)

• Bullet Points: To make bullet points, use the asterisks "*" to denote a bullet point.
• Headers: To make a header, just add two pairs of equal signs "==" to both sides of your text, i.e.: "==Headline=="
• Images: You can upload images to the left, and then embed them into pages using [[file:image.jpg]], where "image.jpg" is the name of your file (you'll see it when you finish uploading the image.) You can figure out how to format the images at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images
• Citations: you can put the code <ref> </ref> to cite your information. Put your citation information in between the <ref> tags, and it will show up on the bottom of the page under the header "==References==", aka <reference />. If for some reason there is no "==Reference==" and <reference /> placeholder, then just create those two things and it will show up (or you can just let me know. If you still dont understand what i'm saying, then go here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php#Example
• • Example: This is the best site ever! <ref>This site says so: www.jmgear.com</ref>

• Uploading Files: They are on the left side (if not, then hopefully when you register and log in, you'll see it). Give your file an easy name to identify with.
• Embedding Files (in the works)
• Categories: Append [[Category:Guitar]], or [[Category:Amps]], etc., to the top. List of categories are to the left.
  

look at the main page. Those are the first three pages i've created will will help people understand the format for the rest of the site

is it called the OM-28JM, or the John Mayer OM-28 Signature? i want to create a page for it

And do you think this wiki has the potential to be beyond the scope of instruments? I was creating a little placeholder page on some of the songs like Belief, and it made me realize that you could add so much information into each song. I mean, you can put stuff like "instruments used on this song", but you can put so many other things such as "the inspiration for the song", and the "message that john is trying to convey", or just posting lyrics for it. He often talks about the purpose for each of his songs, so it's silly not to provide that information on a wiki like this.


anyway, i'm going to slow down for a bit as i have a lot to do this week and next week for school

the reason why i'm thinking of resource is that the wiki might contain more than just gear. if you look at post #5, i kind of went into talking about the potential for the wiki to talk about gear and songwriting as well.

Hando, you need the front page to separate each section or else this site is gonna get really messy really quickly. You should have Gear, Songs, Tour Info, Personal Info, etc. on the front page so that everything is easily found. One giant list of all that stuff is gonna be cluttered.

well the front page is only an example to SOME of the pages that have already been created because i wont be able to keep up with the changes to the wiki when people add stuff to it. But, i'll sort out what is on the main page right now.

Also sometime after this week, i'll figure out how to build templates for you guys so that guitar pages have organized information, songs have organized information, tours have organized information, etc. It's something that i will have to do after next wed to make it easier for everyone to edit pages
