It is expected this task will take less than 15 minutes per county, after the first county you do.
 
{{Tip|Since you will be "toggling" between this task page and the county page, you may want to have both pages open at the same time. Simply right-click on '''Project page''' (colored section on the right) and select either "Open in new window" or "Open in new tab."}}

=== Step 1: Prepare the county Wiki page  ===
If there already something there for this county, make space for what you will be adding by simply moving that information further down from the "Cemeteries heading". We don't want to change it or remove it at this time.


Under the '''Cemeteries''' heading, simply press ''Enter'' three times to move any existing content down and make room for what you will add.
==== Step 2: Copy and paste Cemetery blurb and begin Find A Grave  ====


NOTE: we repect the work of others, so we don't want to change their work at this point in the task.
A) Copy (using WikiText): <nowiki>{{UTCoCemeteries}}</nowiki>


=== Step 2: Copy the Templates for the Cemeteries area  ===
:[How to do it: Highlight starting with {{ and ending with }} then press the '''Ctrl''' + '''C''' keys]
<div style="padding-bottom: 1.4em; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; width: 99%; border-right: rgb(221,221,221) 1px solid" id="imageContainer">
{| style="background-color: rgb(255,255,204)" border="1" cellpadding="5"
|-
| bgcolor="#ffff99" align="left" | A template is a standard paragraph that is used over and over. Using a template allows updates or changes to be made once and appear wherever the template has been placed.<br>When you are in WikiText, a template is surrounded by two "squiggly brackets" <nowiki>{{template name}}</nowiki>
|}
</div>
In this step, you will copy, then paste templates to the county under the "Cemeteries" heading. Here's how:
<div style="padding-bottom: 1.4em; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; width: 99%; border-right: rgb(221,221,221) 1px solid" id="imageContainer">

B) Paste (using WikiText) immediately under the ''Cemeteries'' heading of the county page.  


| Highlight and copy all of it
:[How to do it: Put your cursor below the "Cemeteries" heading and press '''Ctrl''' + '''V''' keys.]
*Be sure you are not in ''Edit'' mode
*Get the two squiggly brackets at the very beginning <nowiki>{{</nowiki> and at the very end <nowiki>}}</nowiki>

Return to Utah Wiki Project Main Page

Task Description[edit | edit source]

Add links to Find A Grave and other online cemetery records for each of the 29 counties in Utah.

Steps[edit | edit source]

These steps are actually easy. Not being a professional "instruction writer," the following makes them look harder than they are.

Step 1: Prepare the county Wiki page under the "Cemeteries" heading[edit | edit source]

If there already something there for this county, make space for what you will be adding by simply moving that information further down from the "Cemeteries heading". We don't want to change it or remove it at this time.

Step 2: Copy and paste Cemetery blurb and begin Find A Grave[edit | edit source]

A) Copy (using WikiText): {{UTCoCemeteries}}

[How to do it: Highlight starting with Template:And ending with then press the Ctrl + C keys]

B) Paste (using WikiText) immediately under the Cemeteries heading of the county page.

[How to do it: Put your cursor below the "Cemeteries" heading and press Ctrl + V keys.]

Step 3: Finish the Find A Grave information[edit | edit source]

A) Copy (using WikiText) the following -- including the asterisk (*)

B) Paste it (using WikiText) in front of the words "Find A Grave]" on the county page.

It should look like this:

*[http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cs& Find A Grave]

[If necessary, delete the carriage return.]


C) Type "editing cemeteries section" in the Summary and Save page.

FYI: Saving now lets you follow the link in Step D


D) Get the Find A Grave link for the correct Utah county

  1. Click this link, which takes you to the cemetery locator section of Find A Grave.
  2. Select the Utah, then the county you are working on and click Search
  3. Copy the address (URL) for that search

E) Fix the Find A Grave link on the county Wiki page

  1. On the county page, edit the Cemeteries section (in WikiText)
  2. Place the cursor just after the "[" bracket
  3. Paste the URL

F) Type "Finishing Find a grave link" in the Summary and Save page
