Adding band members to a band page

 * 1) Navigate to the band page for which you wish to add a band member.
 * 2) Click the "Edit" link on that band page.
 * 3) In the source text which is now visible, find the line that says "|band_members=".
 * 4) Go to the end of that line and hit "Enter".
 * 5) Open Template:Members in a new window, you will see that there is a multi-line template and a single-line template. They do the same thing, but some (often experienced) people prefer a single line version over the multi-line one.
 * 6) Copy one of the two template versions and fill in the blanks . The only mandatory line to change is |name=, if you leave out the instrument, the template will automatically show "unknown instrument" and mark the page as lacking that info so that it can be added later (see this category for a list of such pages).
 * 7) Keep in mind that the template can only handle A SINGLE instrument per instance. If a singer, for example, also plays guitar you should add that artist twice, once as the singer and once as guitarist.
 * 8) Hit the "Show preview" button to see if all looks okay, and if/when satisfied, click the "Save page" button.
 * 9) Tadaa! You have just added band member. Repeat steps 6 and 7 if you wish to add more band members . Make sure to add any extra members on a new line after the first one.
 * 10) NOTE! On some pages, the section "|former_members=" is missing. If you want to add former band members on such a page, you may add that field to the band template yourself. Adding entries for the former members is done the exact same way as for current members.
