Hi Tonefish, - Welcome to Zappa Wiki Jawaka. Fresh contributors are always most welcome and their contributions and insights valued. However I would like to offer some guidelines: This is a Zappa wiki not a Beefheart wiki - I share your enthusiasm for the Captain's work but we have more than enough to do finishing all the Zappa stuff without introducing extra layers. We strive to achieve a factual wiki with a neutral point of view so we try to avoid personal opinions and vagueness such as "possibly" and "maybe" and we use surnames not forenames. Information about a particular album should be collected on the page for that album. Check any page you edit for red links - these will usually be just a typo that needs correcting Cheap Thrills rather than Cheep Thrills. Use the Search button to find anything that is less than obvious - e.g. we have a page for Orange Claw Hammer. Happy editing, Duncan 07:31, 13 May 2008 (PDT)

Wikipedia linking

Answering your question to Maroual - Leave a question on the discussion page for the article you are working on then anyone who is around will pick it up.

I think it is called Piping. Insert the vertical bar | character after the link and before the text you want to be shown...

[[wikipedia:Peter Green (musician)|Peter Green]] ... will give you - Peter Green

The same technique works on this wiki too.

But Maroual just responded. :-\ Duncan 12:06, 18 May 2008 (PDT)
