=Wikifying Text and Creating links to new pages=
    +
When creating pages with textual content you can edit the text to that it links to pages containing the same text, or to pages which exist in a namespace.
 +
 +
For Example
 +
 +
The wiki text <nowiki>[[Paul Draper]] will link to a page called '</nowiki>[[Paul Draper]]'
 +
 +
The wiki text <nowiki>[[Paul Draper|Paul Edward Draper]] will link to a page called '</nowiki>[[Paul Draper]]' but be displayed as [[Paul Draper|Paul Edward Draper]].
 +
 +
There are some custom namespaces used for particular Mansun items, such as:
 +
 +
* Discography (used for Mansun Discography items)
 +
* Interviews (used for any Interviews)
 +
* Gig (used for any gigs)
 +
* Articles (used for any articles)
 +
* Archives (used for archived sites - do not use yet)
 +
 +
In future updates we will be adding custom namespaces for:
 +
 +
* Songs
 +
* Gear
 +
* Tablature
 +
* Fanzine/Fansites
 +
 +
for example, to link to a particular gig with custom text:
 +
 +
* The wiki text <nowiki>[[Gig:Moles, Bath, 28th September 1995]] will link to a page called:
 +
</nowiki><BR>'[[Gig:Moles, Bath, 28th September 1995]]' and be displayed as [[Gig:Moles, Bath, 28th September 1995]]
 +
 +
If you wanted to have the display text as something more meaningful in a page you could use:
 +
 +
The wiki text: ''... and Mansun performed at <nowiki>[[Gig:Moles, Bath, 28th September 1995|this]]</nowiki> gig'', which will be displayed as:
 +
<BR>''... and Mansun performed at [[Gig:Moles, Bath, 28th September 1995|this]] gig''.
 +
 +
=== Creating new pages ===
 +
If you create a link in a page to a destination pages that does not exist then when you cave the page the link will appear as a red link.  When you then click on that red link you will then create that page.
 +
 +
The same applies to when searching for a page.  If you use the search feature and type in the name of the page you would like to create then you have the option to create that page in the results listing.

The 1995 Section has the basics in place, the other gig pages need to have the Gig box and Gig navigator templates added and the linked pages to be entered.. quite laborious, im working on that and also on the Mansun On This Day pages.

The '''1995''' Section has the basics in place, the gig pages from 1996 onwards need to have the Gig box and Gig navigator templates added and the linked pages to be entered.. quite laborious, im working on that and also on the Mansun On This Day pages.
    
Would be good if we could ask people to email scans of their gig photos, set-lists, ticket stubs, and to send photos of the gigs, stages.. i hope in time when the site is live people will contribute directly..  its real easy to upload images and add them to pages.
