Okay, so if your like me you know what a wiki is for and how the articles should generally go. But I am a little confused at the interface and how exactly I go about posting content into the wiki.
Can we get a quick tutorial on how to go about adding articles. Nothing major, just the basics. Thanks!

The "Templates..." in each category are generated by the wiki script whenever a link to a non-existing page is inserted. Here is an easy guide to getting your first article on the wiki.
1.) Go to the section where you want to put your article. (I went to "Gear" for this example) 2.) Up at the top you'll see an address like this "http://guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Portal:Gear". 3.) Type your article name after the address using /articlename. So I wanted to write an article and call it Tubes under the Gear section. So i typed it into my address bar and it looked like this: "http://guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Portal:Gear/Tubes". Then hit enter. 4.) If the article isn't already made you should get a message that says: "There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page." Click the "search for this page title" link. 5.) You will then be taken to the Search engine within wiki and at the top you should see "Create this page" link . Click that then paste your article (may want to start with a template first). That should get you started. If you need help getting the article to show up in the correct section let me know, I can help. See the Gear section for how I started laying it out as an example.
