3. After finding the correct FHC, begin adding the content from the spreadsheet to the FHC Wiki page.

Step 3 - Add Address[edit | edit source]

1. First remove the phrase from the Wiki page:

''(Include information about your centre that would be helpful for first time visitors such which entrance in the building to use, parking, etc. Use as many or as few bullet points as needed.)'' 


2. Go to Column F of the spreadsheet and copy the address for the FHC.

3. After the Address code, put a space and paste in each part of the address from the spreadsheet. Put a <br> after each piece of the address including after '''Address:'''. It should look like this:

*'''Address:''' <br>Maharajpunj, Ring Road<br>Near Chappel Factory<br>Losal<br>Bagmati<br>Nepal<br>44600<br>


4. It will look like this on the Wiki page:

  • Address:
    Maharajpunj, Ring Road
    Near Chappel Factory
    Losal
    Bagmati
    Nepal
    44600


5. Once the address is entered on the Wiki page, go to Step 4.

Step 4 - Add Phone Number[edit | edit source]

1. If there is a phone number on the spreadsheet, add it directly after the word: Phone: as seen below:

*'''Phone:''' 976 1146-3010


2. It will look like this on the page:

  • Phone: 976 1146-3010


3. Once the phone number is entered on the Wiki page, go to Step 5.

Step 5 - Add Email Address[edit | edit source]

[mailto:EMAILADDRESS EMAILADDRESS]


2. Replace EMAILADDRESS with the email address found on the spreadsheet as seen below:

Step 6 - Add Hours Open[edit | edit source]

1. If there are hours listed on the spreadsheet, place a <br> after the word, "Hours:"

2. Next add the hours for each day with a <br> after each set of hours. It will looks something like this:,br>

*'''Open Hours:'''<br>Wednesday: 19:00-21:00 hours.<br>Thursday: 13:00-16:00 hours.<br>Saturday: 12:00-17:00 hours<br>

3. If there are no hours listed, just skip the step.

  • Open Hours:
    Wednesday: 19:00-21:00 hours.
    Thursday: 13:00-16:00 hours.
    Saturday: 12:00-17:00 hours


5. Once the hours are entered on the Wiki page, go to Step 7.

Step 7 - Add Language[edit | edit source]

1. If there is a language listed on the spreadsheet and it's different from "English", replace the word "English" with the language.

2. It will look like this:

*'''Language:''' ''Spanish'' 
{{#if:|*'''Second Language:''' ''}}''
{{#if:|*'''Third Language:''' ''}}''
