===Philosophy on New Properties===
===Philosophy on New Properties===
Basically, there isn't much of one. The beauty of properties is that you can add them, and mix and match them to form unique queries. I suspect that there will be a query that shows every piece of equipment in the Maker Hub. There could be one that shows everything - equipment, tools, supplies, etc. There could be one that shows equipment in the machine shop. And then, one can create more focused properties. I have initially created two as examples - [[Property:Is sheet metal equipment|Is sheet metal equipment]] and [[Property:Is soldering iron equipment|Is soldering iron equipment]]. I suspect that we will mark the [[Sheet Metal Shear]] as both [[Property:Is equipment|Is equipment]] and [[Property:Is sheet metal equipment|Is sheet metal equipment]]. This way, the [[Sheet Metal Shear]] will show up on lists that show equipment as well as lists that show the more focused sheet metal equipment. However, [[Soldering Irons]] will be marked as [[Property:Is equipment|Is equipment]], but the [[Weller_WES51]] will only be marked as [[Property:Is soldering iron equipment|Is soldering iron equipment]]. This means that [[Soldering Irons]] will show up on a general equipment query, but the [[Weller_WES51]] will not. This decision is somewhat arbitrary and is left to the Wiki editors. In this case, there is no reason to see every particular type of soldering iron on a general equipment list, but the sheet metal shear will show up.

==Equipment==
Adding new equipment is fairly simple. Start by copying another Equipment page and edit to suit. The structure of each equipment page is not fixed, and will likely evolve. However, the header should be fairly similar. Below is an example of the [Weller WES51] soldering iron page.

The [http://www.weller-toolsus.com/soldering/systems/weller-wes51-station-50-60w-120v-wes51.html Weller WES51] is the standard [[Soldering Irons (General) | Soldering Iron]] used in the [[Main Page| Maker Hub]]. The Iron
includes the WES series power unit, PES51 soldering pencil, PH50 stand, and sponge. A PW50 probe is available for checkout that allows the user to set (or unset) the soldering temperature.
Each iron is mounted to a tray along with a soldering kit.
<br/>__TOC__
</nowiki>
The first section is used to set a large number of page properties. The first of these sets the page to be an "equipment" page. Others set images and icons and such. Notice the duplicate "Is located in facility" entries to show how the equipment is located in more than one facility. This can also be done with domains. The #show sections are generic and display the icon and the image with the appropriate descriptions. These are the same on every equipment page. There is then some explanatory text followed by an ''optional'' table of contents with a line break before it. The table of contents will show up automatically if there are 3 or more headings, but this makes it show up explicitly at this point - and the line break is just for visual effect.
