Instructions[edit | edit source]

1. Open the Task List and add your name to column A "Name" for the parishes you'd like to work on.

2. Open the parish page and locate the "Place Names" heading on the page.

Note: If there are no places listed in the "Place Names" heading, write "SKIP" in column A & B of the task list, and continue on to the next parish in the task list.

3. Click "Edit source" next to the "Place Names" heading.

4. Copy the following code and paste it immediately above the first place name in the list.

{| 
|-
<ul class="column-spacing-fullscreen" style="padding-right:5px;">

5. Locate the separations of the place names by each letter of the alphabet. Add <li> immediately before the first place name in each letter of the alphabet.

6. Add </li> to the end of the last place name in each letter of the alphabet. See the example below.

Note: remove any extra "<br>" instances separating letters of the alphabet.
Note: remove the last comma at the end of each letter of the alphabet

7. Locate all "<ref>" code (there may be more than one reference), and make sure they occur immediately after the last place name, and before the last "</li>". This will ensure that the reference footnote displays correctly on the page right after the last place name.

8. On a line below the last listed place name (and after any "<ref>" citation code), add the following code:

</ul>
|}

9. Click "Show preview", and verify that the place names appear correctly on the page (such as the example below).
