Part A -

Step One - Sign Up

• Go to the task list and sign your name next to a Historical Records Wiki page.

• Click on the link and it will open the Historical Records Collection Wiki page.

Step Two - Click on Edit Source

• At the top of the Historical Records Collections Wiki page, click on Edit Source.

Step Three - Find Correct Line

• Use ctrl + F and look for the wikitext code below to locate the correct line.

| FS_URL_01 = 

Step Four - Go to Another Wiki Page

• Go to this Wiki page: [of Infoboxes - by Country]

• Locate the country for the Wiki page you are working on. For example, if the Wiki page is: Albania Census, 1930 - FamilySearch Historical Records, do a ctrl + F and search for Albania. It will eventually take you down to the Albania template code.

Step Five - Copy the Wikitext

Step Six - Paste on the HR Coll. Wiki Page

• Go back to the Historical Records Collection page on the other tab and locate the same section you just copied.

Step Seven - Compare the new links with the old Links

• The links you just copied and pasted on this page should be on the page. You will compare the new links with the old links by doing the following:

1. Remove the old link for any that are duplicated.

2. If the new list of links is not on the page

3. Change the numbering of links so that there is only one number for each line. They should remain in chronological order. Remove the old links currently in the template, no matter how many there are or what they link to. Leave in the coding for other links if they are blank.

Step Eight - Change the Wikitext

• Replace COUNTRY with the name of the country that relates to the Wiki page. (There should be an Online Learning page for all the countries listed on the Task List)

For example: [[United States Online Learning]]
