'''Note: We will only be listing the direct links to the website on OGR pages. We will not list links that Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Findmypast have for Findagrave or Billiongraves. They will be on the state cemetery page instead.'''<br> | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
7. Replace the STATE in the first bullet with the name of the state you are working on.<br> | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
8. Take out the old findagrave, billiongraves, and interment links from the list you brought over from the OGR page and use the new ones you just put on the page.<br> | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
9. Review the other databases from the OGR page. If they appear to cover all of state, leave the links in the list under these first 4 bullets. A good example of those kinds of databases are [https://cce.my.salesforce-sites.com/burials/ Utah Cemeteries and Burials] and [https://nebraskagravestones.org/search.php Nebraska Gravestones].<br> | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
10. If the databases appear to only cover a portion of Alabama, cut the link from this sandbox page and paste it on to the state's cemetery page, if necessary. There really isn't a "correct spot" it goes to. Just put the links near other links that are similar.) <br> | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
12. Now save the sandbox page and go to the next state to repeat the process. <br> | '''Note: For the state cemetery page - if there is a range of years in the database link you are adding, take it off the front of the link and put it back with the title of the database so the links all match on the table.'''<br> | ||
<br> | |||
11. If you aren't sure if the collection covers the whole state, put two <nowiki><br></nowiki> spaces between the new list and the questionable link. I'll review it later and make that decision. <br> | |||
<br> | |||
12. Review the state cemetery page to see if any of the links on this table include a statewide index that should be placed on the OGR page. If you aren't sure, put two <nowiki><br></nowiki> spaces between the new list and the questionable link. I'll review it later and make that decision. <br><br> | |||
<br> | |||
13. Now save the sandbox page and go to the next state to repeat the process. <br> | |||
<br> | |||
14. After you have completed all the states, I will double check the info. Then, I'll have you add them to the respective OGR state pages.<br> | |||
