Item IDs
Every item has a unique ID. The more expensive things have a little label on them starting with BUW followed by a number.
Less expensive things such as cables will be assigned a GMU ID, that should be on a little sticky label.

Creating Item Pages
An item page is named after the ID of the item. This will allow everone to quickly find the wiki page of an item by its label, if they don't know the official term for the item.
- To create a page for an item with the item ID BUW 123456 create a page at: GMU:Equipment/BUW 123456.
- The page for the item with the ID GMU 23 will be located at GMU:Equipment/GMU 23.
Creating Named Pages
Named pages are useful for refering to items by name, especially if there are several identical items with different item IDs.
For example there is a generic page with a verbose title such as GMU:Equipment/Kinect. All item pages that belong to Kinect Cameras should redirect to this very page.
Naming Photos

- Photos should be named according to the item ID of the item shown on the photo.
- If there are several items on the photo, name it according to the item ID labeled ① on the photo.
