Current Structure

This is the current structure of the wiki. In these early days it is subject to change every so often.

Important Notes, Read Before Editing

  • March 22: "Influences" is now a category page. For any article you edit that you feel belongs in this category, tag that article as follows: [[Category:Influences]].
  • March 21: when linking to any of the Beat The Boots albums, please link like this: [[The Ark (BTB)]]. Note the space and "(BTB)" appended to the title.
  • March 20: watch out for conflicting names! For instance, with an album like The Man From Utopia, there is also a track of the same name. Solution: when linking to the TRACK, link like this: [[The Man From Utopia (The Track)]] - note the space and "The Track" between brackets. Linking to the album can then remain as normal, like this: [[The Man From Utopia]]. When linking to a track, always have a look if there's no album of the same name!
  • March 19: disabled anonymous ("not logged in") editing. You must now have an account (and be logged in) to edit/create pages. This was done mainly to prevent wiki-spam/trolling.
  • March 18: New categories.
    • "Discography", "Zappa Per Album", "Tracks" and "Supporting Cast" are now categories. "Zappa Per Album" and "Tracks" are subcategories of the "Discography". What this means when editing:
      • For editing "Zappa Per Album" pages, tag that page as follows: [[Category:Discography]] [[Category:Zappa Per Album]].
      • For editing "Track" pages, tag the page as follows: [[Category:Discography]] [[Category:Tracks]].
      • For editing "Supporting Cast" pages, tag the page as follows: [[Category:Supporting Cast]].
    • Since I'm still adding categories and don't want to rush things: please don't edit any pages other than those that fall under "Zappa Per Album", "Tracks", "Musicians" and "Supporting Cast" for the time being. Thanks!
  • Please read the updated Naming Conventions before adding/editing articles.
