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. 1)
- 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 “Manual” 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 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?
Further Information
If you have any issues what so ever or need an explanation Please email support@thedmxwiki.com
In your address bar you will see this “http://www.thedmxwiki.com/lighting_fixtures/template” the “/lighting_fixtures” part is called a 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 to link to this page (Click edit page to see how I linked that)
Always include a link at the bottom of your page 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” 2)
1)
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
2)
Use _ for spaces and for the company name just put, for example American DJ → ADJ
