For Readers
You can get started exploring the Encyclopedia by using the index letters above to browse through all of our entries. In addition, you can use the search tool on the left, or if you're just looking for something to pass the time, try a random entry and go from there.
Please note that this Encyclopedia contains graphic content and may not be suitable for all viewers.
For editors (and potential editors)
All IAM members can become BME encyclopedia editors/writers by using the login and create account feature (look in the top right of this page). After that, please begin your journey by reading the intro help file.
The conversion from the old encyclopedia and glossary files wasn't perfect, so some entries have broken layout, among other things(my old system was not case sensitive, but this one is, so many of the links are broken when, in fact, the entries are there). Those of you who understand how to do Wiki layout work, go for it! There's more help if you go to the User's Guide on the MediaWiki site (check out the "editors" section). The main contents page here also has some simplified help on it that I added (Wiki experts, feel free to edit that page). You can also visit the BME Wiki forum on IAM.
Other than that, feel totally free to start editing, cleaning stuff up, adding missing entries (anything from the ones that are obviously needed, to studios, suspension groups, piercers, and so on — please do not add joke entries though). If you'd like to use images, feel free to take anything from BME, but don't take anything from an IAM page without that member's permission. If you crop down a BME image, please add a "bmezine.com" text onto the picture. Thanks again for your help; I'm very excited about where this is going to go.
