I want to edit this template and add a name for a parish that is missing from the list. How can I do this? When I hit edit it shows a blank page. Who can help?

Hi Dcoppin, this page is a category page and list articles that have been added to the Category:Cornwall. If there is a parish missing from the category it because 1) the page has not been created yet or 2) the page has not been added to the category.

Sorry! problem solved! When I first followed the instructions for categorization, I neglected to refresh the page and Cardinham was still missing. After I refreshed my page, it showed up in the correct place and internal link works. Just part of the learning curve for an old man who is not very computer literate.

-This does not solve the problem, because 1) the page has been created many months ago and can be accessed from the list under the subheading of "parishes" and 2) it is already labeled as part of the category "Cornwall" &nbsp;The page is titled "Cardinham, Cornwall" and does not show up on the list of pages. &nbsp;Other pages that I wrote about the same time under the category Cornwall do show up on this list, and most of the other parishes, even those for which there is only a stub, also show up on this list. &nbsp;It would seem to be a simple thing for whoever is in charge of this list to add it, so that it can be found by anyone researching in this parish, but obviously that cannot be done with the edit function, which appears to be the only tool at my disposal.
