Step 1: Adding Info to Military heading
1. Go to the military heading on the county page.

2. Copy and paste the following wikitext under any text already appearing under the heading:

===== Revolutionary War ===== *1775 - 1783 - at FamilySearch - images only *For more nationwide Revolutionary War databases, see US Military Online Genealogy Records.

===== Civil War ===== *1891 - Nebraska Resident Military Roster on June 1, 1891 at Ancestry.com - ($), Roster of Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines of the War of 1812, the Mexico War, and the War of the Rebellion, residing in Nebraska June 1, 1891 *1893 - Roster of Nebraska Veterans - list of veterans in 1893 *For more nationwide Civil War databases, see US Military Online Genealogy Records.

===== WWI ===== *1917 - 1918 - World War I Drafts 1917-1918 - index only *For more nationwide World War I databases, see US Military Online Genealogy Records.

3. NOTE: if there is other content under the heading that is similar to the new information, fit the current information in a logical manner with the databases above. For example, if there is already a link to another Civil War database, place it with the other Civil War databases linked under the Civil War heading. Change the information as you deem necessary.

4. Once you have added the wikitext, preview the page by clicking on, Show Preview at the bottom of the page. Check your work to make sure it looks like it should. Make any necessary adjustments.

5. Go to the bottom of the page and enter "added military records" in the edit summary box and save the page.

6. You are now done with the task. Go to the next County on your list.
