Updating Breadcrumbs

Purpose[edit | edit source]

Locate all of the old breadcrumbs and update them.

Instructions[edit | edit source]

Step One - Review the Wiki Page[edit | edit source]

1. Go to the task list and sign up for a Wiki page to review. Click on the link to go to the Wiki page.

2. Review the Wiki page to see if it has a breadcrumb.

Part One - Wiki Page has a breadcrumb[edit | edit source]

1. If the Wiki page has a breadcrumb, click on Edit Source at the very top of the Wiki page.

2. Copy the following wikitext and paste it at the very top of the Wiki page. It should be above the breadcrumb tha tis already on the page.

{{breadcrumb
 
| link1=

| link2=

| link3=

| link4=

| link5=

}}

3. Use the breadcrumb already on the page to move information to the new breadcrumb template. Copy the first link on the left and paste it directly after “|link1=”

4. Go back to the original breadcrumb on the page, and copy the second link of the old breadcrumb and paste the link directly after “|link2=”

5. Continue to do this for all breadcrumb links in the old breadcrumb.

6. The last link for the breadcrumb will be the name of the page you are on. Copy the name of the page (do not include Editing in the phrase) at the top of the page and paste it directly after “| link5=”.
Note: For the link that appears on the page, abbreviate it so it includes the essential information and does include Genealogy. For example the last link should look like:

| link5=[[Warren County, Ohio Genealogy|Warren County]]<br>

7. Once the breadcrumb is created, go to the bottom of the page and click on "Show preview". Check the top of the page to make sure the new breadcrumb looks correct. It should look like this:

Wikitext for example:
{{breadcrumb
| link1=[[United States Genealogy|United States]]
| link2= [[Alabama Genealogy|Alabama]]
| link3=
| link4=
| link5=[[Autauga County, Alabama Genealogy|Autauga County]]
}}

11. If the breadcrumb looks correct, go back to the top of the page and delete the old breadcrumb. Be careful not to delete anything else on the page.

12. In the Edit Summary field, copy and paste the following wikitext:

Formatted breadcrumb - project <r>

13. Return to the task list to type in the date when you completed it and choose the next wiki page on the list.

Examples[edit | edit source]

On a Civil War page: 1st Battalion, Maryland Infantry

Wikitext example:
{{breadcrumb
| link1=[[Maryland Genealogy|Maryland]]
| link2=[[Maryland Military Records|Maryland Military]]
| link3=[[Maryland in the Civil War|Maryland in the Civil War]]
| link4=
| link5=[[1st Battalion, Maryland Infantry|1st Battalion, Maryland Infantry]]
}}

-===Step Three - Add the Links to the Breadcrumb===
+. Use the breadcrumb already on the page to move information to the new breadcrumb template. Copy the first link on the left and paste it directly after “|link1=”  <br>
-.Go back to the task list for guidance on how to create the breadcrumb. The example for the page type is found in columns D through H. If it is different from the breadcrumb already on the page, use only what is on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s9mJPE_cxq-99mLWwYRR54On1wTjr2C0Mxou0uokdYk/edit?usp=sharing task list] as your guide. <br>
 <br>

+ <nowiki>| link5=[[Warren County, Ohio Genealogy|Warren County]]<br></nowiki>
-'''Things to Remember:'''<br>
-*Follow the example as much as you can. If your page is different and the breadcrumbs don't appear to apply, put the note, "Check Breadcrumb" in the date column and do what you think is correct.
-*The Wiki pages are grouped together by page type, but you may have to determine a lower jurisdiction page from the Wiki page (especially if there is no previous breadcrumb to refer to). For example, A Comprehensive List of Birmingham Parishes and Chapels Wiki page does not have the county in the title, thus, you must view the page for the county Warwickshire - either in the breadcrumb or the category. If you are unsure, make a note on the task list to be double checked.
-*Do not include any underscores in the link title.
-*If the page name has the word, Genealogy as a part of it, drop it from the link title. For a correct example, <nowiki>| link2= [[Ohio Genealogy|Ohio]]</nowiki><br>
-*The last link can have an abbreviated form of the Wiki page, leaving off the state or other info. For a correct example, <nowiki>| link5= [[Warren County, Ohio Genealogy|Warren County]]</nowiki><br>
-*Do not use the PAGETITLE template for any part of the breadcrumb.
-*For more information about creating breadcrumbs, refer to the [[Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Breadcrumb Trails|Wiki University lesson]].

-===Step Four - Remove the Old Breadcrumb===
-. Locate the old breadcrumb on the page and remove it. Be careful not to delete anything else on the page. If there is no breadcrumb, go to Step Five.<br>
