3. NOTE: if there is other content under the heading that is similar to the new information, fit the current information in a logical manner with the databases above. For example, if there is already a link to another Civil War database, place it with the other Civil War databases linked under the Civil War heading. Change the information as you deem necessary.
4. Once you have added the wikitext, preview the page by clicking on, Show Preview at the bottom of the page. Check your work to make sure it looks like it should. Make any necessary adjustments.
5. Go to the bottom of the page and enter "added military records" in the edit summary box and save the page.
