New template
Good morning! My name is Pamela and I am a member of the FamilySearch Wiki support team. One of our responsibilities is reviewing new changes to the Wiki. I noticed you are adding an article for the Fort Smith Public Library; that will be a great addition, thank you! I also noticed that you created this template: Template:Sibst"Affo;oate-libraries. Since the FS Wiki provides a template titled 'subst:Affiliate-libraries' for use in creating Wiki articles for Affiliate Libraries, I'm assuming you were attempting to use that template to create your new Wiki page.  I'd like to help you get this new page set up.  Please reply to this note on this page and I'll be happy to help!  If I don't hear from you, I'll make changes as necessary to get the right template in use and to delete the template 'Template:Sibst"Affo;oate-libraries'.

Thanks again for contributing to the FS Wiki!

Template
Yes, I was trying to do this for a new affiliate library. I think in need to do your university to really understand. Sorry for just trying to jump in and do.

Affiliate library template
No worries at all! It's brave of you to just jump in. Sometimes that works great, sometimes not. We've all experienced it. I'm going to delete the Template:Sibst"Affo;oate-libraries and the Fort Smith Public Library page. Then you can start fresh. The instructions are here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/FamilySearch_Affiliate_Libraries, which goes to the Affiliate Library page.  At the end of the section titled FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries Map, there is a link: "Instructions on how to add your FamilySearch Affiliate Library to this list and create a Affiliate Library Wiki page."

Just a starting pointer: The "br" you see in < > in the existing wikitext means 'break' and it creates a line break (goes to the next line). For example, you'd use it in the address like this, to create a two-line address format. (Click on Edit Source to see the coded wikitext of this example.)

3201 Rogers Ave Fort Smith, AR 72903

Thanks again for helping improve the FS Wiki!

Best regards,

Pamela
