[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Nebraska| | __NOTOC__[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Nebraska|Nebraska Project Page]][[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] Populated Places | ||
== Purpose == | |||
Adding information to the Populated Places heading on the county page | |||
== Task List == | |||
[[FamilySearch_Wiki:WikiProject_Nebraska_Task_List#Populated_Places|Task List]] | |||
== Instructions == | |||
=== Step 1: Adding Populated places === | |||
1. Go to the Populated Places heading on the page and see if it has already been completed.<br> | |||
2. Whether it has been completed or not, go to [https://wikipedia.org Wikipedia] to either double check the list or add the localities.<br> | |||
3. Go to the Communities heading and add the places in a bullet list. If the list is longer than 6 names, you will need to place it in columns using the following wikitext:<br> | |||
<nowiki>{{div col|4}}</nowiki><br> | <nowiki>{{div col|4}}</nowiki><br> | ||
<nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br> | <nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br> | ||
| Line 21: | Line 35: | ||
<nowiki>{{div col end}}</nowiki> | <nowiki>{{div col end}}</nowiki> | ||
4. To use the above wikitext list, replace the xxxx with the place names. You can delete any blank lines you don't need, or add a line as needed. If you add lines, don't forget to add the asterisk.<br> | |||
=== Step 2: Add Reference === | |||
1. It's important to always give a reference to where we obtained the information we add to the wiki. To add the reference to the heading, first copy the following wiki text: | |||
<nowiki><ref>Wikipedia contributors, "NAME OF ARTICLE," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', URL, accessed DATE.</ref></nowiki><br> | |||
2. Since there is no other text under the Populated Places heading, add the reference to the actual heading. The heading will look something like this:<br> | |||
<nowiki>=== Populated Places<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "NAME OF ARTICLE," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', URL, accessed DATE.</ref> ===</nowiki><br> | |||
3. Replace the NAME OF ARTICLE, with the actual name of the Wikipedia article. If you got the information from Adams County article, you would put in, Adams County, Nebraska.<br> | |||
4. Replace the URL with the actual URL of the Wikipedia article.<br> | |||
5. Replace DATE with the day you looked at the Wikipedia article, such as 19 July 2016.<br> | |||
'''COMPLETED EXAMPLE OF HEADING:'''<br> | |||
<nowiki>=== Populated Places<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Adams County, Nebraska," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams_County,_Nebraska, accessed 19 July 2016.</ref> ===</nowiki><br> | |||
=== Step 3: Saving the page === | |||
1. Once you have added all the places, 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.<br> | |||
2. Go to the bottom of the page and enter "added populated places list" in the edit summary box and save the page.<br> | |||
3. You are now done with the task. Go to the next County on your list.<br> | |||
