Project Leader[edit | edit source]

Sylvie Pysnak

Purpose[edit | edit source]

Every major religion practiced in each country has been previously identified using the CIA Factbook. The purpose of this project is to change the format of the Religious Records page and add links for every Christian church to the Church Records page.

Instructions[edit | edit source]

Step 1: Reformat Religious Records Page[edit | edit source]

1. Click on the country to go to that country's wiki page. Then click on "Religious Records."

We want to reformat the page from looking like this:

Church Records 1 img 7.png



To looking like this:

Church Records 1 img 8.png



2. How to do this:

1. Find a Christian denomination listed.
  • They will be found under the Anglican, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox headings.
  • Each Christian denomination will have its own bullet point and will link to its section on the Church Records page.
2. Add a bullet point and link under its current heading using this template: *[[COUNTRY Church Records#CHURCH Records|CHURCH Records]]
3. Change COUNTRY to the name of the country you are working on and change CHURCH to the name of the Christian denomination/church you are linking to.
  • For example: the link to the Catholic Records on the Ghana Church Records page will look like *[[Ghana Church Records#Catholic Records|Catholic Records]]
4. If there is more than one Christian denomination under a heading, make sure they are in alphabetical order.
  • The Protestant heading is likely the only heading that will have more than 1 bullet point (some countries may have 5-10 Protestant denominations).
5. Delete the line that says: "For more information...visit this page: [COUNTRY Church Records]." under the Anglican, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox headings.



Take note: any additional information that may exist on this page for Christian records should be moved to Church Records page.

Step 2: Research Non-Christian Religions[edit | edit source]

Most major religions practiced in the respective country have been identified previously using the CIA Factbook. Information about Christian denominations/churches will be found on the Church Records page. Information about non-Christian religions will be found on this page. Add any additional non-Christian religions practiced by the significant minority to the page in alphabetical order (go to Religions by country).

Jewish Records[edit | edit source]

Leave as is, no changes need to be made.

Other Non-Christian Records[edit | edit source]

1. Research each religion. What we want to know about each religion:

  • How to find the records (including online resources and websites)
  • Historical background
  • Information recorded in the records


2. To find this information:

  • Wikipedia - go to the country and click the Religions link to see a summary. Look for a link just under the Religions heading that links to a separate, more detailed article about the country's religions (usually titled "Religion in COUNTRY"). This page may list links to a specific religion in the country (such as "Islam in COUNTRY"). Look at these pages to fill out the headings.
    • NOTE: Be sure to cite your sources.
  • Google
    • NOTE: Be sure to cite your sources.

NOTE: It is okay if nothing is found out about that religion in the country. The history of the religion found on Wikipedia is sufficient.



3. Copy and paste this code (or part of the code) if you find information that belongs underneath any of these headings. If the only information found is historical background, DO NOT add the heading, just put that information under the religion heading.
