<br>


====Step Two - Add the New Breadcrumb Wikitext Code====
====Step Two - Correct the Updated Breadcrumb====
1. Review the page to make sure it needs a new breadcrumb.<br>
*NOTE: Some pages do not need much changing, others have completely incorrect links. We are going to review them all to improve readibilty of the breadcrumb on the pages.
<br>
 
2. If it does need a new breadcrumb, click on Edit Source at the very top of the Wiki page.<br>
1. Click on Edit Source at the very top of the Wiki page so you can edit the breadcrumb.<br>
<br>
3. Copy the following wikitext and paste it at the very top of the Wiki page. It should be above the breadcrumb that is already on the page.<br>
<br>
<br>
<nowiki>{{breadcrumb
2. Review the breadcrumb and make any necessary changes to follow this template:
| link1=
  <nowiki>{{breadcrumb
| link2=
| link1=[[United States of America|United States]]
| link3=
| link2=[[United States Military Records|U.S. Military]]
| link4=
| link3=[[United States Civil War, 1861-1865|U.S. Civil War]]
| link5=
| link4=[[United States Colored Troops in the Civil War|U.S. Colored Troops]]
| link5=[[PAGE NAME|ABBREVIATED PAGE NAME]]
}}</nowiki><br>
}}</nowiki><br>


===Step Three - Add the Links to the Breadcrumb===
''TO REMEMBER:''<br>
1. Go back to the task list to get guidance on what the new breadcrumb should include. It may or may not change from what is already on the page. Just follow the guide in Column D. Please note the guide will be only on the first line of the group of Wiki pages you are working on.<br>
*Link 4 should be abbreviated to U.S. Colored Troops
<br>
*Link 5 display name for the link should use U.S. instead of United States.  
2. Go to “|link1=” and add the appropriate link to the breadcrumb according to what is listed in [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s9mJPE_cxq-99mLWwYRR54On1wTjr2C0Mxou0uokdYk/edit#gid=0 Column D].<br>
*Some pages do not need much changing, others have completely incorrect links.
<br>
3. Next go to “|link2=” and add the appropriate link to the breadcrumb according to what is listed in [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s9mJPE_cxq-99mLWwYRR54On1wTjr2C0Mxou0uokdYk/edit#gid=0 Column E].<br>
<br>
4. Continue to do this for Columns F and G. There may or may not be something to list. If cell in that column is blank, skip to number 5 below<br> <br>
5. For last link, you will add the name of the page you are on. Use Column H to be your guide. Copy the name of the page (do not include Editing in the phrase) at the top of the page and paste it directly after “<nowiki>| link5=</nowiki>” for the first half of the link. <br>
<br>
6. For the second part of the link after the pipe, put in an abbreviated version of the title of the page as seen in the example. Consult the list below for more guidance.
 
'''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.
*Include the name of the page for the first part and a title for the link on the second part. Do not only use the page name. For Example, <nowiki> [[England Genealogy|England]]</nowiki>
*If the page name has the word, Genealogy as a part of it, drop it from the link title. For 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 example, <nowiki>|link5= [[Warren County, Ohio Genealogy|Warren County]]</nowiki><br>
*Do not use the PAGETITLE template for the last link.  
<br>
 
===Step Four - Remove the Old Breadcrumb===


1. With the new breadcrumb in place, locate the old breadcrumb on the page and remove it. Be careful not to delete anything else on the page. <br>
