 === Project Instructions  ===
-==== Step 1  ====
+==== Step 1 - Sign up for a page to fix  ====
-*Go to the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ubUDl6j9ppd_kidncDBU01Xh93O2U9yiJdFbZ0_Z7I/edit?usp=sharing Task List] and '''choose a line in gray''' (NOT the orange) that has a broken link to work on.  Those in orange will be completed by someone else in another project.  Put your name in column I so no one else will work on the link.
+. Go to the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RSgNveco0sX4h8W2MsmhiIZ3xWw2P4mDsQn9nVfHysI/edit?usp=sharing Task List] and put your name next to a Wiki page link in column A.
-==== Step 2  ====
+. Click on the link to go to that Wiki page. On a google sheet, after you click on the link, a small dialogue box with the URL will appear. You must click that link to open the Wiki page you will work on.
-*Copy the broken link found on the spreadsheet and check to see if the link is still broken. (Sometimes websites are down for short amount of time.)
+==== Step 2 - Find and Fix the language link====
+. Once on the Wiki page, make sure you are logged into the Wiki. You will know if you are logged into the Wiki, if you can see your FamilySearch username in the top right hand corner of the screen.<br>

+. Once you are logged in, you will see a tab in the top right corner of the screen, labeled, Edit Source. Click on that tab and you will now see the wikitext code for the page.
+. Use the scroll bar on the wikitext box and go to the bottom of the page. You will see some wikitext code that looks something like this:
+ <nowiki>{{H-langs|en=A Checklist of Compiled Sources and Where to Find Them |fr=Modification de Une liste de collections de ressources avec leur provenance}}</nowiki>
+This code creates a link to the French Wiki for a similar article on the same subject. That link looks like this:<br>

 ==== Step 3  ====
 *Go to: [https://archive.org/web/ https://archive.org/web/]. This website has the Wayback Machine. The Wayback Machine has a history of what a URL used to contain.  This will help you know what the page contained so you can Google and locate the page more easily.
