When you hit edit you should see all this: (this is a direct copy and paste from the whole article), you see the first two lines are the ones I added (In bold).
You should be able to see it too! [[Category:Bands]] [[Image:jpriest.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Judas Priest ]] == '''Judas Priest''' == Judas Priest hail from Birmingham England. Formed in 1968, they remain one of the most influential bands in heavy metal. Many say it was "Priest" that defined the "twin guitar attack" in heavy metal. Emplying not one but two proficient lead players. Similar to their early influences like the band Wishbone Ash. Judas Priest were one of the first band sto be labeled as Heavy Metal. It was Priest that brought about the later imitated leather and chains look. Many current and past metal bands credit Judas Priest as a major influence. They have 18 albums to their credit. Their debut album '''Rocka Rolla''' being released in 1974 and their latest, '''Nostradamus''' released in 2008. Their most commercially sucessful era was from 1980 thru 1991. Though the band has never stopped. Even after heavy metal legend Rob Halford quit the band in May of 1992, the band forged onwards. Discovering the incomperable vocal abilities of one Tim Owens in 1996. This event inspired the box office film "Rockstar" starring Mark Wahlberg. Halford would eventually return to the fold in 2003. Their most controversial moment was court case involving 2 teenagers and a suicide pact. The case was dismissed in 1990. The band was found not guilty of using subliminal messages in their cover of Spooky Tooth song "Better By You, Better Than Me" Judas Priest has completed many tours of the globe. Playing the largest festivals, full arena, and smaller clubs. In February 2009, Judas Priest continue their tour when they bring their 'Priest Feast' for arena dates with support from guests Megadeth and Testament. The band is still going strong after nearly 40 years. Defending the heavy metal faith again and again. Visit the bands official website here: www.judaspriest.com -------------------- Guitars:

Ok I see what was happening!!
You are editing the SECTION, because you are clicking on the EDIT button IN the article  The "edit" button you need to click is NOt that one, but the one at the top right corner of the page, then you'll see the whole code of the page, not just the section. You create a section in an article when you put a word between theses symbols: == Words here blah blah == That way you create different parts within the article, which afterwards appear in a nice index box. By the way I changed the name of the pic for you, but see if you find the right button now

QUOTE (jer @ Oct 22 2008, 05:01 PM) GRRRRR!!!! I just did anice one for "Holy Diver" and after navigating away from the page to upload the pic, it all got erased. Oh my  what a shame!!Always save your progress before leaving the page... well you've learnt it the hard way. When I write long articles I do it on a plain .txt file, then copy and paste to the wiki, save, and then add the needed pictures and links. Hope it doesn't happen again... once you write a cuple wikis you'll see that it's a piece of cake. Try adding the main parts of the article as sections, such as this: ==Introduction== blah blah blah blah ==History== blah blah blah blah ==Discography== blah blah blah blah ==Band Members== blah blah blah blah ==Related GMC lessons== blah blah blah blah Etc. etc, just an idea, make the sections you need/wish, dependeing on teh subject. You'll see that it generates a nice index chart when you click "save page". Good luck! -------------------- Guitars:

Cool Jer! Funny you should make this entry as I've been listening to that song a lot lately, actually surfed those couple vids yesterday too!
I notice you mention Ozzy Osbourne in the article, a good thing to do when mentioning other famous artists & stuff is to put them inside this [[Ozzy Osbourne]] brackets. You can do that when you write any word which you think deserves it's own entry, such as "fender", "gibson", "humbucker", etc. There's a handy button that automatically does it to the selected text. That way the wiki understands that as a internal link, and you could click on the name afterwards and navigate to the corresponding article. If it doesn't exist then the link is added anyway, and the entry becomes part of our "suggested" entries. As for the external links, such as those couple youtube videos, a nice way to do it is using the external link feature, like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkysjcs5vFU Promo Video for Holy Diver] That way what you will see is Promo Video for Holy Diver as a clickable link, which looks nicer. Notice how it all goes in brackets, then write the link, then leave a space, then write the text that will become the link. Piece of cake. Last but not least, creating sections as I suggested in my previous post is a must to create a quality article, you should give it a try when you write a longer one. Take a look at our wiki help post, the basics are covered there: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=9117 To sum up: good job Jer!, if you follow my previous ideas in your next articles you'll be a wiki expert in no time

I also created an entry for "Chorus" - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Chorus
Entries like this are pretty minimalistic. Not a lot of use for pics or sections. Though feedback is welcome. -------------------- My Gear

QUOTE (seagull @ Oct 22 2008, 06:06 PM) I'll probably write a wiki on Kirk Hammett soon. There's a Kirk Hammett article already! But maybe you could add some info to it? Or maybe write about another band/guitarist? Edit: Oh I just saw that Kirk Hammet (with just one "t") appeared in the list of needed wikis!, that probably mislead you. Solved now!. Still if you are willing to write an article there are plenty to choose from, or just invent your own QUOTE (jer @ Oct 22 2008, 06:11 PM) gotcha. I didnt know if there had to be an article already done to link it to. Sections: Right, I saw that. For an album I didnt know what would apply. Are there recommended sections for each category of entry? I saw the ones for band. Are there album ones? Thanks! I made some changes, let me know if they are ok. (internal links, and clickable videos) I answered in your other thread about the album template, there you have a couple useful album/gear templates  As for the changes, nice! you are getting the hang of the wiki real fast. One more thing: if you wish to make two sepparate lines, use this command: <br> That way you can make lists like this. 01. Number of the beast <br> 02. Only the good die young <br> 03. Iron Maiden <br> If you don't write the <br> after each line, the above would show like this: 01. Number of the beast 02. Only the good die young 03. Iron Maiden Unless you left a blank line in between each line, which wouldn't look good either. Give it a try it's easier to see how it works than explaining it  QUOTE (jer @ Oct 22 2008, 07:14 PM) I also created an entry for "Chorus" - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Chorus Entries like this are pretty minimalistic. Not a lot of use for pics or sections. Though feedback is welcome. Minimalistic entry is better than no entry! QUOTE (Smikey2006 @ Oct 22 2008, 07:16 PM) Sry Schecter guitar research is the name of the company Maybe put that as a sub-title?No problem it shows in the picture, but I will create the entry and link it later! Glad to hear you are back in shape Smikey

QUOTE (jer @ Oct 22 2008, 08:17 PM) there are 2 eddie van halens in the wanted list. Solved now. One of them was Eddie and the other Edie (with just one "d"). This happens when someone creates a link to a misspelled word, the wiki obviously doesn't know about spelling and accepts whatever internal link we create. -------------------- Guitars:
