This page was created to give you ideas for creating your own center site on the Wiki. Note that every center is different and you may not need all of these sections.
Please DO NOT EDIT THIS TEMPLATE. Edit only the FamilySearch Center page created using this template. Otherwise new material put into this template will show up in all the FSC pages created using this template.

Databases and Software

-:##Do a search in the Wiki with the '''''exact title''''' of the page you would like to create. For example, search for "Blue Springs Missouri Family History Center." <br>
-:##Under the Search Results heading, and above all the search results, you'll see this title in red.&nbsp;Click on the title in red. It will take you to the page that you will edit to create your center page.

-:#Save the page, then go back in and edit the page.
-:#Delete this section; everything above the box with the FamilySearch logo in it.
-:#Fill out the rest of the page with info about your center.
-:'''Optional:''' Each of these sections are optional, and there may be other sections that you feel are important for your center to have. Do a search for "Family History Center" to see examples of what other centers are doing in the Wiki.
+=== Center Contacts and Hours  ===
-:'''Multiple pages:''' If you have a lot of information about your center to add to this page, you may want to break this out into multiple pages. When you do so, you will want to create additional pages as "sub-pages." These pages begin with the same name of the main page, then include a "/", then the name of the sub-page.<br>

+*''(Link to map using [http://maps.google.com Google] or other map sites)''
-:For example, to create a sub-page for "Center Contacts and Hours" you would create a new page in the Wiki titled "Blue Springs Missouri Family History Center/Center&nbsp;Contacts and Hours". Although that is a long title, it gives the benefit of grouping the different pages together in the search results, and if you ever need to change the name of the main page, the sub-pages would also change.
+*'''Phone:'''
-:'''Multiple page interlinking: '''You can also create a table that will link the main page and all of the sub-pages together so that visitors on any page will have links to all the other pages as well.&nbsp; See .... for an example.
