- 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.

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 of long pages back to the home page!
