===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 sheer will show up, like this: [[File:small_warning_icon.png|Small Warning Icon]].
