Part A[edit | edit source]

Step 1 - Remove Links found in Headings[edit | edit source]

  • . Go through sandbox page and remove any links that may be in a heading found on the Wiki page. Most of these links are for Wiki pages that will be linked to in another way.

9. Any information on the current state Indigenous Peoples page that does not fit under any heading on the Wiki page, please put on the corresponding Talk page and make a note on the spreadsheet.

10. Check all links on the page to make sure they work.

11. With the lists of tribes at the top of the page, link the name of the tribe to the 1) Wiki page or 2) official website. If neither of those exist, do not link the tribe name. Add any other websites that give the history of the tribe after the name (such as government websites). Match the example, Alabama Indigenous Peoples
