This doesn't always work when inside tables for example: {|class="wikitable"|-| |-|-| |-|-||} So we have to make it explicit:{|class="wikitable"|-|<pre>|-|-||-|-|</pre>|} They should not be used for emphasis. Use horizontal rules,...----
:...indents, ''italics'', and '''bold text''' instead.
==Emphasis and Key Words==
* '''Whole statements that are the key phrase or group of phrases in a long page or section should be bolded''' ''or italicized depending on their importance.''
* {{loud|Phrases that must absolutely be read as though to warn the reader should use the "loud" template.}}
* ''Whole statements that are asides or follow-up notes should be italicized.''
* '''Key Words''' should be bolded. And [[#Key Words|linked]] to their own page/section when available. These should appear to introduce or define a concept or saying. '''If the phrase in which a keyword appears is bolded already, use <u>underlines</u> as well.'''
* Italics should be used to ''emphasize a certain word or phrase'' in a sentence. ''If the sentence is already italicized, make it <u>underlined</u>.
== Musical Terms and Proper Nouns ==
* Note names are ''always'' capitalized (A, B, C, D, E, F, G). This prevents ambiguity with the article "a" and the flat symbol "b" when used in monospace blocks (however you should use [[Template:flat]] {{f}} otherwise).
* Use [[Template:flat]] {{f}}, [[Template:sharp]] {{s}}, and [[Template:natural]] {{natural}} where necessary (shorthand:<nowiki>{{b}} and {{s}}</nowiki>), but use # and b in tab or other monospace blocks. This makes for easier editing and retains the monospace-nature of the font.
* Double and half sharp/flat are available: {{db}}, {{ds}}, {{hb}}, and {{hs}}.
* Specific keys use a capitalized note name and type - A Minor, C Major, A{{b}} Harmonic Minor.
* Specific chords use a capitalized note name but lowercase type - A minor, C major, A{{b}} diminished.
* Artists/Bands and Gear Manufacturers should be capitalized, regardless of whether the artist/band or company officially uses capitalization, except for prepositions that are not the first or last word.
* ''Songs'', ''Albums'', and ''Models'' should be capitalized (except for prepositions that are not the first or last word) and italicized.
* Avoid using the {{TM}} symbol unless necessary to indicate an otherwise ambiguous trademarked term/phrase.
See [[Wiki Templates#Wiki Templates]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28music%29 Wikipedia's conventions on proper nouns in music] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Trademarks trademarks].
== Paragraphs ==
when people make numerous, one-line
consecutive paragraphs. If you really want someone to read the last line of a paragraph, ''use italics'' or '''use italics or bold text'''''.
== Relevant Links ==
I try to include a relevant links section on each page. For lessons, these all have a prev/next link, to view the lessons in order. Additionally, I try to link highly-related content. This doesn't need to be taken to the extreme, though. That's what the categories are for.
== Categories ==
* '''Is this an unanswered question?'''
== Breadcrumbs ==
Pages that are part of a series, or sections within a page can be easily navigated using '''breadcrumbs'''. {{Crumbs|green|1|#|like this}}
I like to use the following color conventions:
=== Navigating between Pages ===
{{Top-Level Crumbs}}
{{crumbs|orange|1
|Site Conventions|Current Page in Series
|Wiki Templates|Another Page in Series
|Site Conventions#Breadcrumbs|or 2nd Level Page Navigation
}}
=== Navigating inside Pages ===
{{crumbs|blue|1
|Contents#Wiki|Top-Level Page Headings
}}
{{crumbs|blue2|1
|#|2nd-Level Page Headings
}}
{{crumbs|blue3|1
|SandBox|3rd-Level Page Headings
}}
View the source of the contents page to see some examples of how this is used. The [[Contents#Reference|reference pages]] also have good examples of how easily navigation becomes by using breadcrumbs. See [[Wiki Templates#Wiki Templates|Wiki Templates]] for templates that make writing them easy. Or try it out in the [[SandBox]].
