Q1. How do I add a new gig?
A. When you are logged in, you'll see the following buttons:  For adding a single one-off (or repeating) gig, where you can add detailed gig information.  For adding all your available dates, and seeing your available dates and booked dates all in one place, like a diary page.  For adding any number of gigs all at once, quickly. Similar to a wall calendar. You can also add gigs by going to the 'my gigs' section in your edit page.
Q2. I'm in a band. How do I add a gig?
1. A gig consists of you (as a band or artist), and a venue.
2. Both you and the venue must have a page on Lemonrock.
3. If the venue doesn't have a page on Lemonrock, you must create one first - you only need to give the name, city and phone number. Then you can add your gig.
Q3. I run a venue. How do I add a gig?
1. A gig consists of one or more bands/artists, and your venue. Simply type in the band/artist name.
2. If the band/artist doesn't have a page on Lemonrock, it will be automatically created, and added under your list of bands. You can have as many as 50 bands in each gig/event.
Q4. How to I add a regular (repeating) gig?
A. You only need to type the gig information once, as Lemonrock has a powerful gig repeat feature. When you create your gig, you set the 'Repeat Period' to weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, etc and specify an end date. Lemonrock then automatically works out all the dates that your gig will occur, and adds the dates to the gig listings. You must update your regular gigs every year. If you have regular events at your venue that are not music related (e.g. sport, food, etc), you can add them to your page in your 'other events' section of your venue page. More information »
Q5. Can I just click to create a gig?
A. Yes. If the venue or band already exists on Lemonrock, go to the venue or band/artist page and click on the  button near the top of the page (you must be logged in to do this). This will automatically fill in some of the details of the new gig for you.
Q6. Is there a quick way to add several new gigs?
A. Yes. Your Band or Venue Gig Sheet gives you a month-by-month view of your gigs, which you can edit very quickly.
Q7. The band/artist for my gig is not on Lemonrock. What should I do?
A. Just type the band/artist name into your new gig, and we will create it for you automatically. Or, first create a page for the new band/artist in 'my bands/artists'.
Q8. The venue for my gig is not on Lemonrock. What do I do?
A. Simply create a page for the new venue in 'my venues'.
Q9. Is there a quick way to create several new bands and venues?
A. Yes. If you are a venue with lots of bands to list, and the bands are not on Lemonrock, you can just type them into the gig form and we will create them for you. Or, to add multiple bands/artists manually, please see: createbands.phpIf you're a band or artist, you can create several new venues all at once. To add multiple venues, please see: createvenues.php
Q10. I tried to create a venue but Lemonrock says it already exists. How do I add my gig?
A. If a venue already exists, you can add a gig there if you are a Band/Artist Member. Just type the name of the venue into the 'Venue name' box in your 'new gig' form in your 'my gigs' section. Alternatively, to save typing in the name, go to the venue page and click on the  button near the top of the page. You must be logged in to do this.
Q11. I tried to create a band but Lemonrock says they already exist. How do I add my gig?
A. If a band or artist already exists, you can add a gig for them if you are a Venue Member. Just type the name of the band or artist into the 'Band/Artist name' box in your 'new gig' form in your 'my gigs' section. Alternatively, to save typing in the name, go to the band page and click on the  button near the top of the page. You must be logged in to do this.
Q12. Why can I only create gigs for some bands/artists or at some venues?
A. Band/Artist Members can add and edit gigs where their bands/artists are playing. Venue Members can add and edit gigs for their own venues. To summarise: As a Band/Artist Member:
You can create bands/artists ('your' bands and artists)
You can create gigs for your bands/artists at *any* venue
You can create venues if they don't already exist
You cannot create gigs for bands/artists that are *not* yours
As a Venue Member:
You can create venues ('your' venues)
You can create gigs for your venues for *any* artist or band
New bands for your gigs are created automatically. Or, you can create new bands/artists manually instead.
You cannot create gigs for venues that are *not* yours
Q13. Do I have to maintain band and venue pages that aren't actually mine?
A. No. New venues and bands/artists that you create will remain 'yours' until the actual owner requests that they are transferred to them when they become Lemonrock members. All you need to specify is the band/artist name, size, music type, or for venues, the name, city and venue type. You can also disown (give up) any band/artist page or venue page that you have created, releasing it back into the Wiki pool so that any member can then edit it. Please note: If you do this, you will no longer 'own' your page.
