Description

This is a plain, un-filled-out example of a PS:1 Equipment Label. It's intended as a temporary placeholder until someone completes a proper wiki page for a thing, and/or attaches a proper equipment label.

One of these labels (except filled out with appropriate information) should appear somewhere on EVERY piece of equipment and on any tool big enough to accommodate it (drill press, yes - screwdriver, no) whether it is owned by a member or the space. The label is the way we track what a thing is, and what happens to it, who owns it, how to get authorized on it and how to use it. It links the physical item to the PS:1 wiki and all external resources like the manufacturer's site and the operator's manual.

How To Make A Label

Instructions, such as they are (they are hard and could stand to be rewritten) for the label can be found here: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Template:EquipmentPage

When to Make A Label

Labels are created when a tool or equipment wiki page which incorporates the Equipment Label template is made.

Labels don't have to be hand-generated and no graphic design has to be done. It's sort of arcane how the chunk of code gets in there, but that's all it takes: selecting the special chunk of code and pasting it right into the wiki page for that thing.

Help me here: why doesn't the 'nowiki' section of text show up here? I'm not super familiar with wiki markup.

Printing A Label

You can print out the label from the tool's wiki page, and attach it to the tool. If there is no label, incomplete labeling, or incorrect labeling, you can make changes or additions to the wiki to fix that.

Some people like to print the label on an actual label printer, but it works just fine to print out the first page of a tool's wiki page on any printer and cut the label out for use.
