FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject New York: Difference between revisions

It has been decided to use templates for narrative text that will be used on multiple county, town, or other pages (such as Courthouse pages). This will allow changes to be made across all pages simultaneously. Check first to make sure that a template filling your need does not already exist by clicking on the category link listed below. If a template fitting your needs does not already exist, follow the steps below. If you wish to edit an existing template page, make sure to contact the team member(s) who created the original before making your changes.  

1. Create a new page with the following name: <nowiki>Template:NY[record type] </nowiki><br>2. Type the text for your template. Make sure that all concepts, sentence structure, and grammar are independent and can stand on their own if need be. <br>3. Add the NY Project template category using the following wikitext: <nowiki><noinclude> [[Category:Templates for NY pages]] </noinclude> </nowiki>. (If the category is added to the template without the <nowiki><noinclude> </nowiki>, the category will also appear on all pages that use the template.) <br>4. Approve the wording with at least three other members of the New York WikiProject Team. <br>5. Add the template to county pages using <nowiki>{{[template page name]}} </nowiki>
