Username Issue
Haha! I was surprised that no one has asked me if I really am Aaron yet. It was just the first short thing I could think of while signing up. My new username will be "spitonit" (without quotes of course). The editing while onstage thing got a good laugh out of me.

Music-Related Templates
Is there a way to import all the music-related templates? If yes, that would be a whole lot simpler than having to copy and paste from wikipedia. Heroicraptor 00:22, 15 February 2007 (CST)
Thanks
Thanks for all your work cleaning up the actual discography/song pages. I was really confused as what to do with it after all the redirecting Scicks was doing. X3 --GrayscaleRain 14:19, 16 February 2007 (PST)
I also have to thank you, and you should know what for. I made a bad decision before, now I will try my best to help out. Thanks Tony.

Hey, no problem, I didn't see it so it doesn't matter. ^_^. I was wondering though. I could post video download links for some concerts in the bootleg section. Like I have 10 songs from the first concert. But there FLV and I did not upload them. There actually from YouTube and I'm getting all the download links from KeepVid. --Bleedthrough 09:17, 21 February 2007 (PST)
Things to Do

| What can you do to help out in the NIN Wiki?
|
Name Of The Song
|
Song titles should always have first letters capitalized, even with small words. For instance, Down In It would normally be formatted Down in it, but this does not look quite right and can be confusing in some cases. Here are some general guidelines:
- All First Letters Must Be Capitalized For Releases And Song Titles
- Song titles should be in "quotes", while album titles should be in italics
- Page names for songs should be Song Title, unless there is also a halo for it, in which case it should be Song Title (song)
- Page names for halos should be Song Title (halo)
- For example: With Teeth (song) and With Teeth (halo)

Focus on NIN Discography
|
|
The Nine Inch Nails discography is expansive and can be confusing. A Wiki is the perfect place to catalog, in detail, each NIN release and NIN song. To help out:
- Create song pages using the Song Layout, which will standardize song pages.
- Add the NIN Songs category to songs and the NIN Discography category to releases and etc.
- Do not add links to mp3 files of songs. If you really think the article needs it, ask an Admin first.
- Add Year Zero stuff as it comes up. After all, that's what this Wiki was created for originally!

Wikipedia
|
|
Wikipedia can be a great resource to study when writing NinWiki articles, but it's important to remember to never copy word for word what Wikipedia says. It's not illegal, it's just bad practice. Let's build a great wiki from the ground up :-).

I am indeed a Spiral member.
Lithos
In my ever-growing quest to make awesome tour pages, I was wondering about adding the tour lithos for each show to it's tour page. I'm not sure if that's kosher though, with copyrights and stuff. What do you say? TAOSD.net has good thumbnail sized ones, if we get permission to use those from him, is that all we need? Thanks... -Meatball 11:19, 2 March 2007 (PST)
