Instructions

Part A - Fixing Updated Breadcrumbs

Step One - Choose a Wiki Page From the Task List

1. Go to the task list and sign up for a Wiki page to review. Click on the link to go to the Wiki page.

Step Two - Correct the Updated Breadcrumb

• NOTE: Some pages do not need much changing, others have completely incorrect links. We are going to review them all to improve readibilty of the breadcrumb on the pages.

1. Click on Edit Source at the very top of the Wiki page so you can edit the breadcrumb.

2. Review the breadcrumb and make any necessary changes to follow this template:

 {{breadcrumb
| link1=[[United States of America|United States]]
| link2=[[United States Military Records|U.S. Military]]
| link3=[[United States Civil War, 1861-1865|U.S. Civil War]]
| link4=[[United States Colored Troops in the Civil War|U.S. Colored Troops]]
| link5=[[PAGE NAME|ABBREVIATED PAGE NAME]]
}}

TO REMEMBER:

• Link 4 should be abbreviated to U.S. Colored Troops
• Link 5 display name for the link should use U.S. instead of United States.
• Some pages do not need much changing, others have completely incorrect links.

Step Three - Preview and Save the Page

1. Once the breadcrumb is created, go to the bottom of the page and click on "Show preview". Check the top of the page to make sure the new breadcrumb looks correct and there are no red links. It should look like this:

Wikitext for example:
{{breadcrumb
| link1=[[United States of America|United States]]

| link4=[[United States Colored Troops in the Civil War|U.S. Colored Troops]]
