Help:Create TJ page
This help page shall help to create a new article about a Tango DJ quickly. The easiest – and strongly recommended – way to create a TJ page is via the TJ form.
Preparation
It does not matter, whether the TJ you want to write about is you yourself or some other person. In any case, please be aware of the following general form guidelines: Form guidelines
The category for all TJs is the category "TJ".
TJ form
The TJ form is rather straight forward and should be self explaining. (If to you it is not, please leave a note on the associated talk page or on the talk page here to help improving it).
For a look at the form fields in detail, view the table below.
| Form field | Example entry La Rubia | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| TJ name | La Rubia | On the first page, the TJ name is entered. Avoid writing "TJ", "DJ" or similar abbreviations associated to the name. |
| Real name | Analía del Giglio | If you know it, write the real name of the TJ. |
| TJ or TJane | TJane | Tick the box, choose between TJ/TJane/TJ collective. |
| Website | http://www.larubiadj.com/ | Link to a personal website related to TJing. Avoid associated websites, where no information about the TJ is to be found. |
| Facebook page | https://www.facebook.com/djlarubia | Link to the facebook page. Preferrably to a page (that can be "liked") and not to a profile (that has to be "friended"). |

Events: Festivals and milongas
Festivals and milongas the TJ played at cannot be chosen in the form, insted they are automatically displayed from information on corresponding page. If a TJ is assigned to a festival or milonga on the according page, the event will then also show up on the TJ page. Hence, if a TJ played at a certain festival, head over to the festival page and add the TJ there. (The same applies for milongas).
If the event is not yet created, you have some options:
- Create the event yourself.
- See the festival help page for more information on how to create a new festival with the festival form. For a festival, you will need a festival main page and (at least one) festival event page. Find all festivals in the festival category.
- See the milonga help page for more information on how to create a new milonga with the milonga form. Find all milongas and prácticas in the milonga category.
- Ask the organizer of the event to create the page, ask festival and milonga organizers to add information to their pages.
- Link to the desired event within the free text section. Example: In 2014 the TJ was also playing at the following festivals in Europe:
[[Example festival]]. It will then show up as red link in your text (like: Example festival) and will also show up in the list of wanted pages that also adminstrators have a close look at. So the page might get created soon by somebody else.
Free text
The free text area is there for everything not fitting into the few form fields (that only fill the infobox).
Free text could include information about the following:
- More information about the TJ, his/her biography, background, life stations.

- Cooperations and associated institutions.
- Videos of performances.
- Photos and photo galleries.
- Quotes
Free text is written in prose and in a neutral, factional, descriptive style. Please refer to the Style guide for more information.
