Revision as of 19:04, 29 May 2012
Main Page of Utah Wiki Project
Task Description[edit | edit source]
Copy preset obituary paragraphs (templates) and links under the "Obituaries" heading for each of Utah's 29 counties. Then adapt the paragraphs and links to the county.
FYI: Using templates allows wording to be consistent from county to county. Changes can be made in one place and appear wherever those templates were posted.
It is expected that this task will take 15 - 30 minutes per county.
Steps[edit | edit source]
Step 1. Prep[edit | edit source]
| A. Open a new window for the county page |
- Why? Having two windows opened makes it easy to switch between this "Task" page and the county page.
- Tip: Sign in to the Wiki first, and you will be signed in for both windows.
- To open a new window:
- Right-click Project page (located below the dark "Learn More" button in the shaded area at the right).
- Select Open in new window from the options
Once you have two windows opened, switch back and forth between them by holding the Alt key down and pressing the Tab key (Alt+Tab). Neet trick.
| B. Sign up for a county |
1. Go to the Sign up Chart and follow directions to sign up for a county.
2. Type the name of that county (such as Garfield) in the Summary box and Save Page
3. Click to the County
Step 2. Put the templates on the county page[edit | edit source]
| A. Copy the templates |
1. Alt+Tab to get back to this task page
2. Copy (highlight, then Ctrl+C) the following cryptic template and link codes (NOT in Edit mode):
{{UTObituariesBlurb}}
*[[x County, Utah#Newspapers|Newspapers of {{PAGENAME}}]]
*Local [[x County, Utah#Funeral_Homes|Funeral Homes]], [[x County, Utah#Societies|Societies]], [[x County, Utah#Libraries|Libraries]], or in family records.
*Obituaries of neighboring counties: [[neighbor1 County, Utah#Obituaries|neighbor2]] | [[neighbor2 County, Utah#Obituaries|neighbor2]] | [[neighbor3 County, Utah#Obituaries|neighbor3]] | [[neighbor4 County, Utah#Obituaries|neighbor4]] | [[neighbor5 County, Utah#Obituaries|neighbor5]] ; '''in neighborstate:''' [[neighbor6 County, Nevada#Obituaries|neighbor6]]
*Newspapers of major cities: [[Utah Newspapers#Deseret_News|Deseret News]] and/or [[Utah Newspapers#The_Salt_Lake_Tribune|The Salt Lake Tribune]] both in Salt Lake City
| B. Paste the templates |
1. Alt+Tab to switch to the county page
2. In edit mode (WikiText)
- Place the cursor under the Obituaries heading, but above any existing content
- Paste the cryptic stuff
3. In the Summary, write "Copied obituaries templates"
4. Save page.
Step 3. Adapt the templates to the county[edit | edit source]
1. Replace the "x" with the current county name.
2. Replace instances of neighbor1, neighbor2, neighbor3, etc with the actual neighboring counties. The names of the neighboring counites for the county you are working on are found in the "Dates for major county records" chart located at the top of the page for which you are editing.
3. Replace the instance of "neighboringstate" and "neighbor6" with the appropiate information if applicable. If not applicable, remove that line of code.
3. Review what others had put in the Obituaries heading previously.
- Adapt pre-existing text to bullet format.
- Determine whether the pre-existing text (that is now in bullet format) belongs as "first choice" bullet or "middle choice" bullet and insert accordingly.
- If needed, just leave pre-existing text alone, but write a comment in the "remarks" column on this task page. (This allows pre-existing text to reviewed without holding up the task)
3. Type in the Summary, "Adapted links to current county" and Save page
Step 4. Update this task page for that county[edit | edit source]
| A. Update the sign up chart |
1. Your choice: use 4 tildes ~~~~ or just put the date in the "Date completed" column.
2. Make any remarks (As you do this task, you may have wording or other changes to suggest. Or there may be other content for that county to be reviewed later.) 3. In the Summary write "completed ___ county" and Save page
Step 5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the next county[edit | edit source]
Sign up Chart[edit | edit source]
Volunteers are needed to check all 29 counties, adding items as appropriate. Please place four tildes (~~~~) in the "Volunteer" column next to the counties you choose for this task. This will automatically show your username and the date you signed up.
Please make a note in Remarks of any problems. This allows us to improve the task.
