FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Maps Project

Go here for the task list for this project.

Countries are divided into 4 stages. Please first work on Stage 1, then Stage 2, then Stage 3, and finally on Stage 4.

  • Stage 1 is made of countries that don't currently have a map page and you'll need to create a new page. You will be working completely from scratch on these countries and they need map information the most. Stage 1 also has 7 important African countries with a little information on their map pages. Stage 1 is ***HIGH PRIORITY*** so please finish this stage first before beginning on other stages.
  • Stage 2 and 3 is made of countries that already have map pages. However, these pages won't have very much information for you to sort through.
  • Stage 4 is made of countries that already have detailed map pages. Because these countries already have a lot of information, they are the least priority. However, they do need to be restructured and organized. Save this stage for last.

You'll notice that each sheet has columns for Name, Country, and Maps. Here's a key for what everything means on this spreadsheet:

  • Purple Country column: This column lists the pages that you will update. You won't edit this column but you can click on each of the countries and it will take you to its FamilySearch Wiki home page.
  • Red, Orange, and Yellow Finished Map Link column: This column is where you will post the link of your finished map page when you are done. (You can also leave comments or notes in these cells if you need to organize yourself.)
  • Red cells represent countries with no map page. If you look at the sidebar of these country pages, you'll see that Maps is a red link. (Stage 1)
  • Orange cells represent countries with map pages with little information. (Stages 1, 2, and 3)
  • Yellow cells represent countries with map pages with lots of information. (Stage 4)
  • Dark Green Page Editor Name column: List your name next to a country you are working on so you can organize who will work on which countries.
  • Light Green Date Edited column: When you complete a page, list the completion date in this column.
  • Dark Blue Reviewer Name column: Don't touch this column. We'll have someone review your country page after you have finished.
  • Light Blue Date Reviewed column: Don't touch this column. We'll have someone review your country page after you have finished.
