==Part A - Find the Link to the Map==
==Part A - Fix Miscellaneous Sections==
 
===Step One - Sign Up===
===Step One - Sign Up===
*Sign up for a sandbox to work on using this task list and click on the link to open the Wiki page.
<br><br>
*Click on Edit Source for the page and go the the County Courthouse header.<br><br>
*Change the COUNTY County Courthouse link to COUNTY County Website.<br><br>

*Delete the header listed below:<br>
<br>
<nowiki>''Online Civil War Indexes and Records''<br></nowiki><br><br>
==Part B - Fix Births Header==
===Step One - Move the Collection===
*Move the following collection to the regular Births header (instead of Births Substitutes) and add it chronologically.
<nowiki>* '''1640-1962''' {{RecordSearch|1680842|New York Births and Christenings, 1640-1962}} at FamilySearch — [[New York Births and Christenings - FamilySearch Historical Records|How to Use this Collection]]; Index</nowiki>
===Step Two - Copy and Paste the same collection===
*This collection (you just moved in Step One) is full of mostly church records but it does have a few regular government births.<br><br>
*Copy the following collection and add it to the Church Records header at before other denominations listed. This collection has records for many different denominations. <br><br>
<nowiki>* '''1640-1962''' {{RecordSearch|1680842|New York Births and Christenings, 1640-1962}} at FamilySearch — [[New York Births and Christenings - FamilySearch Historical Records|How to Use this Collection]]; Index</nowiki>
===Step Three - Births Substitute Header - Delete Some Text===
* If the following is listed in the Births Substitutes header, please delete them:<br><br>
<nowiki>*See ''Town Clerks' Registers of Men who Served in the Civil War'' in the Civil War section of [[COUNTY County, New York Genealogy|COUNTY]] for birth information.</nowiki><br><br>
*<nowiki>*See [[COUNTY County, New York Genealogy|COUNTY]] section above for birth information.</nowiki><br><br>
==Part C - Fix Marriages Header==
===Step One - Move the Template===
*Under the Marriages header, you should see a template that looks like this (the years in the template will be different for each county):
<nowiki>{{NYMarriage|1870|1946}}</nowiki><br><br>
*Cut and paste this template directly after the Vital Records header and Vital Records Intro template.<br><br>
===Step Two - Marriage Substitutes Header - Newspapers===
*We do not list substitute records under different headings in Vital Records. If we did, people would be substitute records all over the county page and make it way to large. So we need to move the information to the correct header.<br><br>
* All or some of these collections are listed on the county Marriage Substitutes Header. We will move them to the Newspaper Header on the county page (merge the info with what is already under the Newspaper header):<br><br>

===Step Four - Marriage Substitutes Header - Marriages===

===Step Three - Deaths Substitutes Header - Census Records===
*There are also several links about Mortality schedules that belong only in the Census Records header. Cut the following collections and paste them below the Mortality Schedule template:<br><br>
<nowiki>*'''1849-50, 1859-60, 1869-70, 1879-80''' See Mortality Schedule information in the Federal Census section of [[Albany County, New York Genealogy|Albany]] for death information.<br>

==Part E - GenWeb Collections==
===Step One - Move GenWeb Substitute Records Links===
*GenWeb collections: If there are any Genweb collections that are for obituaries, churches, or Mortality censuses listed among the births, marriages, or deaths headers, move the collection to the respective header. <br><br>
*''For your information: only collections labeled Obituaries belong under Obituaries; Anything labeled deaths or death notices, should be under Newspapers. There is overlap at times - if the collection says both Obituaries and death notices in the title, it goes under both headings, Obituaries and<br> Newspapers.''<br><br>
<br>
===Step Two - Remove Substitute Records Headers===
*Be sure to delete any of the following headers you might find under the Vital Records header:<br><br>
Birth Substitutes<br>
Birth Indexes<br>
Marriage Substitutes<br>
Marriage indexes<br>
Death Substitutes<br>
Death Indexes<br>
==Part F - Review Archives, Libraries, and Museums Headers==
*In some of the counties, I have found Archives, Libraries, and Museums listed under the incorrect headers. Can you review the sections on the page and move the repository to the correct header?<br><br>
==Part G - Save the Page==
*Preview the page and review each section to make sure the links look correct.<br><br>
*Once everything looks correct, save the page. <br><br>
*Go to the next sandbox to review.<br><br>
