The beginning

[jephrey]

Ok...  I started 1 page.  Obviously, there's a lot of formatting and other options but I always do best when I get the feel of it by using it.  So...  Go to the wiki and do a search on 1998-04-02 and you'll get the page I made...  Very easy.  I gotta figure out carriage returns and pictures and a many other things but in general, it's a start.  you'll notice that everything is a link on there.  The only one I created any data for is "Tube" go do an edit and look at the code.  For just lists or writing, it's simple.  So go and get yourselves a feel of it.  I think this is pretty simple but that may make it complicated :-D

Let me know what you think so far...

not sure how much i like the box style, but i'm sure we'll figure out how to eliminate that.  i havent had much time to read up on the different tags and such.  i know its a lot like html, so i'm guessing it will be pretty easy.

other than that, it looks good.  i don't think we should list it as Island Tour though (and yes, i understand its just a rough)

[jephrey]

Well, see the other thread "organization"  I don't like the box style either.  I was just checking it out obviously.

Reason why I listed tour...  I thought it'd be cool to hit the "tour" page and check out the tour at a glance or the year page and check that out at a glance, so I put them in there.  Do you suggest not putting the tour in there or just naming it spring or something?  I'll continue my research!

no i like the idea of a tour part.  so yeah, in that case i guess island run counts

I like the idea of being able to break it up by tour too.

Phish, after the 80s was def. a tour by tour band. in a good way tho.

[jephrey]

I wasn't really breaking it up by tour, just providing a link to a page about the tour.  The line

Setlists > 1998 > Island Tour > Show date  is just links, not subdirectories of any kind.  That's what's cool about a wiki.  it's just flat!

I think the venue notation should be adjusted too.

I'll play with it tonight but for now i'll try to explain.

MCI Center - Washington, DC

should be three links:
MCI Center - lists all shows at that venue, Capacity, seating chart if available, offsite link.
Washington - Lists all shows in that city, and all venues in that city  (ie: The bayou, Lisner Aud. etc)
DC - Lists all cities where the band has appeared in that state

maybe more too.

[jephrey]

Well, that's just stats...  With just one link, you could have state, city, and venue stats all on one page instead of making a page for each?  Then overseas stuff would be easier too.  I don't mind using the "-" instead of the "," between venue and city.  I've just always done it with commas.  Everyone else coo wit dat?  I mean "usually" the city and venue are the same.  It would limit the number of pages needed.
