[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Hows#Adding_Links|Add links]] to online cemetery records for each of the 29 counties in Utah.  
 
It is expected this task will take less than 15 minutes per county, after the first county you do.
 
{{Tip|Since you will be "toggling" between this task page and the county page, you may want to have both pages open at the same time. Simply right-click on '''Project page''' (colored section on the right) and select either "Open in new window" or "Open in new tab."}}

==== Step 1: Prepare the county Wiki page ====
Summary of steps:
 
*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks Cemeteries#Step_1:_Prepare_the_county_Wiki_page|Step 1: Prepare the county Wiki page]]
*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks Cemeteries#Step_2:_Copy_the_Templates_for_the_Cemeteries_area|Step 2: Copy the Templates for the Cemeteries area]]
*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks Cemeteries#Step_3:_Finish_the_Find_A_Grave_information|Step 3: Finish the Find A Grave information]]


In this step, you will see if anything has been added to the Cemeteries section of the county.
=== Step 1: Prepare the county Wiki page  ===


*If nothing has been added, go to [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks Cemeteries#Step_2:_Copy_the_Templates_for_the_Cemeteries_area|Step 2]].
Under the '''Cemeteries''' heading, simply press ''Enter'' three times to move any existing content down and make room for what you will add.  
*If there is something already in the Cemeteries section, you will make room for the new info you will be adding.


Here's what to do to make room for new information:  
NOTE: we repect the work of others, so we don't want to change their work at this point in the task.
