1. Copy and paste the following template coding under the Population places header and any other explanation material:

It is between the   tags we will place the items we want on the page.

2. If there is nothing under this header, go to Wikipedia to add the localities.

6. If there are already items listed under Population places put them into the appropriate columns.

4. Add an asterisk in front of each item and insert it between the   tags. Hit "Enter" so the asterisks are up against the left edge of the page. Here is an example: | cities-col1= 5. If there is more than one item in a column, it should look it this:
 * Chamberlain

| cities-col1=
 * Chamberlain
 * Gann Valley
 * Gann Valley

6. If there is a large number of items, count up the number of items. Divide the total number items by three. The answer will be the number of items in each column. However, if there is a remainder after you have divided, round up the answer by one. That is the number of items to go into each of the columns. ''Example: Lets say there are 23 items. Dividing 23 by 3 gives answer of 7 with a reminder of 2. Since we have a remainder we will round up the 7 to 8. So there will be 8 items in the first two columns and the remaining items in the last column.'' 9. Last step is to erase all the    that have not been used.
