3. Go to the Communities heading and add the places in a bullet list.  If Wikipedia has a heading under the populated places heading such as Townships, Cities, etc., add those headings to the wiki. If the lists are longer than 6 names, you will need to place them in columns using the following wikitext:<br>
3. Copy the following template and paste it on the page before the information that may already be there.


<nowiki>{{div col|4}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>{{populated places</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br>
<nowiki><!--cities column-------------------></nowiki><br>

<nowiki><!--villages column-------------------></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| villages-col1=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| villages-col2=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| villages-col3=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br>
<nowiki><!--unincorp column-------------------></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>*xxxx</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| unincorp-col1=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>{{div col end}}</nowiki>
<nowiki>| unincorp-col2=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| unincorp-col3=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki><!--census column-------------------></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| census-col1=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| census-col2=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| census-col3=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki><!--townships column-------------------></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| townships-col1=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| townships-col2=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| townships-col3=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki><!--ghost towns column-------------------></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| ghost-col1=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| ghost-col2=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| ghost-col3=<div></div></nowiki><br>
<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br>


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>


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>
5. If there is a Wikipedia article to any of the populate places, add the URL to Wikipedia. <br>
Example:<BR>
<nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Township,_Adams_County,_North_Dakota Cedar]</nowiki> <br>


=== Step 2: Add Reference ===
6. If no wikipedia page exists, just put in the place name.<br>
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.


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:
8. Review the following wikitext code for Aurora County, South Dakota to make sure you fill out the template correctly:

'''Example of this template on the [[Aurora_County,_South_Dakota_Genealogy#Populated_Places|Aurora County, South Dakota page]]'''<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>
=== Step 2: Add Reference ===


<nowiki>=== Populated Places<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "NAME OF ARTICLE," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', URL, accessed DATE.</ref> ===</nowiki><br>
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>
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>
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>


4. Replace the URL with the actual URL of the Wikipedia article.<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>
 
5. Replace DATE with the day you looked at the Wikipedia article, such as 31 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 1 August 2016.</ref> ===</nowiki><br>
