== Breadcrumbs ==
*Breadcrumbs are located on each Wiki page to hep with navigation and make sure all Wiki pages are linked to.
*Use the instructions on [[Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Breadcrumb Trails|Wiki University]] to learn how to utilize the breadcrumb template.
===Breadcrumbs - Guidelines===
Use these guidelines when creating or correcting a breadcrumb:
*For each link, copy and paste the title of the article before the pipe, then include a title after the pipe you want to be seen by the patrons. 
*Do not include any underscores between words of the NAME of the article.
*Link5 should always contain the title of the current page you are on. Do not use PAGETITLE template in the breadcrumb.
*This breadcrumb template should be the only one used in the Wiki and all other breadcrumbs should be converted to this template.
===Format of Breadcrumbs===
*For Country pages, include the region Wiki page as Link1 in the template.
*For all other subsequent locality pages, do not include the region page.
*For locality topic pages and the 2nd jurisdiction (such as Ohio Probate Records), include the country topic page for Link2. Example: [[File:Breadcrumb.PNG|500px]]
