====== Company Name - Lighting Fixture Model Name ====== * **Step 1 :** To start a new Lighting Fixture page either search "lighting_fixtures:company_name:model_range:model_name" or in your address bar type in "http://www.thedmxwiki.com/lighting_fixtures/company_name/model_range_model_name" when you see "This topic does not exist" click create page to start a new page! ensure that any spaces in your company name are underscores "_" and lowercase when creating a page, That can all be corrected when you set a title. ((company_name should be the name of company that sells the light i.e. abstract, model_range should be the name of a range of models for example vrx as in the Abstract VRX Scanner or VRX Gladiator etc etc and then the model_name i.e. gladiator in lowercase and using underscores for spaces for example http://www.thedmxwiki.com/lighting_fixtures/abstract/vrx/gladiator. Do not include a model ramge if the light is not part of a range of lights)) * **Step 2 :** If you click edit you will see the Level 1 Headline at the top you need to have a Level 1 Headline on every page on the first line, this sets the Title of the page, so then for a Lighting Fixture this text should be your Lighting Fixtures Company name then Model Range then Model for example : Abstract VRX Gladiator. * **Step 3 :** Break your pages into sections using Level 2 Headlines ensuring that the very last section is a level 5 headline being "Documentation" then either a picture of the manual or a download-able PDF (Click add images or other files to upload a PDF to the wiki! Take a look at the [[:lighting_fixtures:american_dj:p36_blinderrgb|]] page to see a basic layout in action! * **Step 4 :** When creating the sub sections why not add useful tips and tricks about the fixture? if you don't have any before the documentation section put a level 3 Headline "Hints & Tips" with : Please add any Hints or Tips regarding this lighting fixture here! and then a page break! If you have any issues what so ever or need an explanation Please email In your address bar you will see this "http://www.thedmxwiki.com/lighting_fixtures/template" the "/lighting_fixtures" part is called a [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces|namespace]], namespaces break things down into sections, Then the "/template" is the page name, although the "/" breaks them up, When writing wiki pages the wiki code uses ":" so for example an internal link would first not need the "http://www.thedmxwiki.com/" part it would just be [[lighting_fixtures:template|lighting_fixtures:template]] to link to this page (Click edit page to see how I linked that) Always include a link at the bottom of your page of long pages back to the home page! **Please ensure that if you upload a pdf manual that you RENAME IT for easier sorting and for future generations. Use the following example as a guide to renaming PDFS BEFORE upload "companyname(abbreviated)_modelname.pdf" ((Use _ for spaces and for the company name just put, for example American DJ -> ADJ)) No description yet please add one. ==== Hints & Tips ==== Please add any Hints or Tips regarding this lighting fixture here! ==== Further Information ==== Please add ANY links etc here ---- == Documentation == [[:welcome|Return to the Homepage]]
