| === Step 1: Adding Populated places === | | === Step 1: Creating Historical Population Chart Code === |
| 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 and add the localities.<br> | | 1. Copy and paste the above wikitext code into your sandbox area and edit all the census data there. Then, when finished, paste the completed wikitext over to the county Wiki page.<br> |
| | 2. The first number on each line represents the census year (1800, 1810, 1820, etc). The "xxxx" represents the population number for that census (usually a 3-6 digit number WITHOUT commas). The percent of increase/decrease will be calculated automatically when the chart is embedded on the Wiki page.<br> |
|
| |
|
| | The population numbers go immediately after the second pipe, with no space.<br> |
| | Example:<br> |
|
| |
|
| 3. Copy the following template and paste it on the page before the information that may already be there.

| |

| |
|
| |
|
| 4. Referring back to the Wikipedia page for the county, add the populated places to the above template. You will have to count up and separate the places to make even columns. For example, if there are 12 townships, put 4 townships in alpha order in <nowiki>| townships-col1=</nowiki> but put them between the div tags (example: <nowiki><div></div></nowiki>
| | === Step 2: Retrieve the census populations. === |
|
| |
|
| 5. If there is a Wikipedia article to any of the populate places, add the URL to Wikipedia. <br>
| | 1. The data can be obtained by going to the county on [https://Wikipedia.org Wikipedia].<br> |
| Example:<BR>
| | 2. Go to the heading, Demographics and copy the information into your chart on your sandbox wiki page.<br> You are only concerned with the population number, which is the middle column on the wikipedia table. The percentages will calculate automatically when you save your work. |
| <nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Township,_Adams_County,_North_Dakota Cedar]</nowiki> <br>
| | NOTE: Not all tables will begin with the year 1800. Delete the lines of code up to the year that your population count starts.<br> |
| | 3. When you are finished, copy the URL and paste it into the "zzzzzzzz" section on the template.<br> |
|
| |
|
| 6. If no wikipedia page exists, just put in the place name.<br>
| | === Step 3: Instructions for Inserting the Completed Chart onto the County Wiki Page === |
|
| |
| 7. For localities already listed on the county page but not in Wikipedia, do a Google search to make sure the place is in the county you are working on. If it appears to exist, place the locality in the correct position in the table to the best of your ability.
| |
|
| |
|
| 8. Review the following wikitext code for Aurora County, South Dakota to make sure you fill out the template correctly:
| | 1. Go to the heading, Census.<br> |
| | 2. On the line immediately following that heading, paste in your Hist/Pop box code from your sandbox page.<br> |
| | 3. Preview your page to be sure you have it inserted properly.<br> |
| | 4. When your previewed changes look the way you want them to, then save your page.<br> |
| | 5. Enter "added census chart" in the edit summary box at the bottom of the page. Always put your Hist/Pop Chart as the beginning information in the census topic.<br> |
| | 6. Once you have saved the page, go to the next county on your list. |

| |
| | |
| === Step 2: Add Reference ===
| |
| | |
| 1. It's important to always give a reference to where we obtained the information we add to the wiki. Add the following directly under the heading:<br>
| |
| :<nowiki>The following are locations in the county:</nowiki><br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| 2. Then copy following wiki text for the reference and place it directly behind the colon in the above phrase:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki><ref>Wikipedia contributors, "NAME OF ARTICLE," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', URL, accessed DATE.</ref></nowiki><br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| 3. The citation should now look like this:<br>
| |
| <nowiki>The following are locations in the county.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "NAME OF ARTICLE," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', URL, accessed DATE.</ref> </nowiki><br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| 4. 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>
| |
| <br>
| |
| 5. Replace the URL with the actual URL of the Wikipedia article.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| 6. Replace DATE with the day you looked at the Wikipedia article, such as 31 July 2016.<br>
| |
| | |
| '''COMPLETED EXAMPLE OF CITATION:'''<br>
| |
| <nowiki>The following are locations in the county:<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Traill County, North Dakota," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traill_County,_North_Dakota, accessed 1 August 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>
| |
| <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>
| |
| <br>
| |
| 3. Once you have saved the page, check your work to be sure it looks right.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| 4. You are now done with the task. Go to the next County on your list.<br>
