Templates:

If you want to start a new page that fits into a common category, you can use a temple. To bring a template up, type {{subst:Type Of Page}} in the edit box and save the page. After it's saved, go back and click the edit tab again and fill in the information. Currently available page types are:

{{subst:band}}

{{subst:label}}

{{subst:record}}

{{subst:company}}

{{subst:organization}}

{{subst:person}}

Infoboxes:

Many page categories have an infobox included. Infoboxes contain quick facts about that given article as well as a related picture. To fill in the information of an infobox, simply add text to the right of the "=" sign. For the image, add the name of the image file (one that is already uploaded to punkopedia), i.e. example.jpg. This is all you need. Do not use the standard [[Image:Example.jpg]] in the infobox.

You Tube Video:

To embed a YouTube video in an article, simply write <youtube>*****</youtube> and replace the ***** with the YouTube ID of the video. The ID should look something like 8mLP9sxZ_8o. It is in the URL of the video page on YouTube, ie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mLP9sxZ_8o
