5. Click on the word wikitext in the toolbox at the top left of the edit box.

6. Place your cursor immediately after the heading Newspapers and strike the enter key on your keyboard.

7. While still in wiki text, copy and paste the following intro template under the heading Newspapers:

8. Replace the name Adams with the name of the county you are currently working on.

9. If there is any other text under the heading, be sure to place the intro template on a separate line before any additional text and after the Newspaper heading.

a. While in wiki text, position your cursor in front of the text which needs moving.
b. Left click and drag your cursor across the text to highlight the information which needs moving.
c. Right click and select cut.
d. Move your cursor under the correct heading and hit enter on your keyboard to move to a new line.
e. Right click and paste the moved information in its new position.

5. Scroll nearly to the bottom of the page. Add a summary sentence in the Summary box saying something like, "Added newspaper intro and headings".
