While creating a simple artist entry is easy through the New Band Entry Form, the Mediawiki engine that this site runs on offers other tools you can use to add details to your articles.
For example, you can:
- Create headings for your page by placing '=' signs around the heading like so: == Heading 1 ==, === Sub-heading ===, etc.
- Create a link to other pages or categories on the site by placing the name of that page in double brackets [[ ]].
- Use two single quotes '' '' to make text italic, or three single quotes ''' ''' to make text bold.
- If you know how to use HTML, all standard HTML elements can be used on the site such as <div>, <p>, <table>, etc. to structure the page.
Images
For security purposes, uploading images directly to the website is currently disabled except for the administrator account. Unfortunately, a bad actor could disguise a malicious file as an image and cause harm to the website.
Image sharing is a functionality I'm currently exploring potential solutions for. If you would like an image added to a page, for now you can send it to [email protected] and indicate in your message where and how you'd like it attached.
