Task List
Instructions
1. Open the Task List, and add your name to the Name column for the parish you want to sign up for.
2. Locate the "Wiki Page" column in the task list. These locations are listed backwards. Instead of listing jurisdictions from smallest to largest like normal Wiki pages, these are listed from largest to smallest. You will be searching the Wiki for the correct parish page.
3. Search the Wiki for the parish.
- Example: The name "Brazil, Pernambuco, Bonito" in column C of the task list would be the FS Wiki page titled "Bonito, Pernambuco, Brazil".
4. On the FS Wiki parish page, look to see if the heading "probate" already exists.
- If the heading does exist, continue to step 8.
- If the heading does not exist, continue to step 5.
5. On the FS Wiki parish page, locate the heading "Online Resources" and click Edit source.
6. Copy the following code:
==Probate== ===Online Resources===
7. Directly above the "Church Records" heading, paste the code you copied in step 6. It should look like the following (with the new Probate heading in yellow highlight):
8. Locate the code in the Code column of the task list for your parish (column E).
- NOTE: Make sure you are looking at the correct code for the correct parish. There are many lines of code in the task list and it can be easy to mix up which line of code corresponds to which parish.
9. Copy the code in the Code column for the row you signed up for.
10. Paste the code directly underneath the new "Probate" heading you added in step 7.
- NOTE: If any collections are already listed under the "Probate" heading, add your new code so the collections display in chronological order. If your collection code doesn't have any bolded dates at the beginning, add it to the bottom of the list of collections under the probate record heading.
11. Click "Show preview" to double check that the link you added looks good and doesn't have anything weird about it.
- If there is something off with the link code, do not save the page. Send Trisha Kougioulis an email or a Yammer.
12. Copy the following statement and paste it into the Summary of your edit:

13. Click "Save page", and continue on to the next parish in the task list.
