==Part C - Create the New Database Links  ==
*[https://churchofjesuschrist-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/batsondl_churchofjesuschrist_org/EdE-ciORfAlPkqaZT7voo28BcwbRTHmGTjeD8XFpSbba0A?nav=eyJyZWZlcnJhbEluZm8iOnsicmVmZXJyYWxBcHAiOiJTdHJlYW1XZWJBcHAiLCJyZWZlcnJhbFZpZXciOiJTaGFyZURpYWxvZy1MaW5rIiwicmVmZXJyYWxBcHBQbGF0Zm9ybSI6IldlYiIsInJlZmVycmFsTW9kZSI6InZpZXcifX0%3D&e=GLyHBf Video Instructions for Part C]
<br><br>
*Reviewing each small table, create a database that covers the records listed.
<br><br>
*You can add these databases directly under each corresponding table on the IRAD Wiki page.
<br><br>
*For some topics, you may need to create 2 or 3 links to group together some of the records by type. Review this [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/User:Batsondl/Sandbox_49 example].
<br><br>
*Use this format to create each database link. The FIRSTDATE should be the very first date for any of the databases. And the LASTDATE should be the latest date from the databases you are combining.
<br><br>
<nowiki>*'''FIRSTDATE-LASTDATE''' TITLEOFDATABASE at [https://www.ilsos.gov/departments/archives/IRAD/iradregn.html IRAD-UNIVERSITYINITIALS] - images; physical holdings not online, copies can be requested, [[NEWWIKIPAGETITLE#TITLEOFTOPIC|List of records available]]</nowiki>
<br><br>
''Note: The same link will be used for each different IRAD University. There is not a unique link for each IRAD University.''
<br><br>
*Here is a completed example:
<br><br>
*'''1865-1966''' Bar Association Memorial Resolutions at [https://www.ilsos.gov/departments/archives/IRAD/iradregn.html IRAD–WIU] - images; physical holdings not online, copies can be requested, [[Adams_County,_Illinois_County_Records_at_IRAD-Western_Illinois_University#Business,_Commerce,_and_Occupations|List of records available]]

<br><br><br><br><br><br>


==Part D - Place the Database Links onto the County Wiki Page  ==
*[https://churchofjesuschrist-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/batsondl_churchofjesuschrist_org/EdE-ciORfAlPkqaZT7voo28BcwbRTHmGTjeD8XFpSbba0A?nav=eyJyZWZlcnJhbEluZm8iOnsicmVmZXJyYWxBcHAiOiJTdHJlYW1XZWJBcHAiLCJyZWZlcnJhbFZpZXciOiJTaGFyZURpYWxvZy1MaW5rIiwicmVmZXJyYWxBcHBQbGF0Zm9ybSI6IldlYiIsInJlZmVycmFsTW9kZSI6InZpZXcifX0%3D&e=3HLNBz Video Instructions for Part D]
<br><br>
===Step 1 - Transfer Database Links to County Wiki Page===
*After you complete creating new database links for each table, you are ready to add them to the corresponding county Wiki page.
<br><br>
*Go back to the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PXGwbXWmjnnA49xAVJy0l9HQqjwQXL76QtlwEIVRA4M/edit?usp=sharing Task List] to click on the link to go to the corresponding county page.
<br><br>
*Go through the IRAD county page you created and transfer the databases from the the IRAD county page to the actual county page under the correct heading. If you are unsure of where to put a database, put it where you think is best and make a note on the Google spreadsheet.
<br><br>
*Check the other databases under the headings and remove any duplicate IRAD databases.
<br><br>
*There should be no database links remaining on this IRAD Wiki page.
<br><br>
===Step 2 - Review and Save the Pages ===
*Now that all the databases are on the county page, click "Show preview" to review the databases to make sure they work.
<br><br>
*If everything looks good, click on "Save page."
<br><br>
*Go back to the new IRAD page and make sure all the databases have been removed and save the page.
<br><br>


 
===Step 3 - Compare to the Examples and Pick a New County===
==Part C - Format the New County Wiki Page  ==
*Review these two examples and compare them to your IRAD page and the completed county page:
 
:*Completed IRAD county Wiki page listing all known IRAD databases: [[Adams County, Illinois County Records at IRAD-Western Illinois University|Adams County, Illinois County Records at IRAD-Western Illinois University]]
===Step One - Sign Up===
:*Completed county page with IRAD databases added: [[Adams County, Illinois Genealogy|Adams County]]
 
<br><br>
 
*Go back to the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PXGwbXWmjnnA49xAVJy0l9HQqjwQXL76QtlwEIVRA4M/edit?usp=sharing Task List] and put the date beside your county. Choose another county to work on and repeat the steps.
