FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Creating Interwiki Links: Difference between revisions

1. Once you locate the code at the bottom of the page, you will now alter Spanish and Portuguese language links to match the coding for an Interwiki link by doing the following:<br><br>

:a. From the above wikitext, delete the 2 curly brackets, template name and the en= and name of the page. In this example we would take out the following wikitext: <nowiki>{{H-langs|en=United States Genealogy</nowiki><br>
