FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Fixing Norway Church Records Links

Purpose
Norway changed their national archives website... and it broke all the links on our Wiki that went to their church records. And there are a lot of them we need to fix.

Task List
Task List

Step 1 - Pick a set of Parishes
1. Go to the Task List and sign up a parish page to fix. 2. Go to the first parish page in the list that you wish to work on (navigate through the Wiki on the Norway page to find each parish). 3. Locate the Church Records section of the parish page. This project will be simply replacing the arkivverket.no links to the media.digitalarkivet.no links.

Step 2 - Using the Norway National Archives Wesite
4. Go to the Norway Digitalarkivet website. 5. Put the county name in the County search box on the right-hand wide. 6. Put the name of the Parish in the Parish search box. 7. If the parish page on the Wiki has multiple links for parish subdivisions under the Church Records section (see Aure parish as an example), add any additional parish jurisdictions in the Local parish search box. 8. After entering the information into the search boxes on the left-hand side, click Search. 9. After clicking Search, copy the URL to the page of search results and change all the bad arkivverket.no links on the Wiki parish page to the new media.digitalarkivet.no links. (Remember: only under the Church Record section of the Wiki page)
 * If the website does not automatically translate into English, click on the English button in the top-right hand corner.
 * Example: One link on the Wiki page may say Aure: 1836-1877, and the next one may say Aure / Valsøyfjord: 1878-1932. The slash indicates that there is another jurisdiction under Aure, and anything behind the slash will go in the Local Parish part of the search.
 * Note: make sure to keep the dates and title of the link the same... the URL is the only thing that needs to be replaced.
 * Example:
 * Code Before: Bud 1739-1766, 1829-1881, 1893-1903
 * Code After: Bud 1739-1766, 1829-1881, 1893-1903

10. After replacing all relevant Church Records URLs on that parish page, mark it as DONE in the Task List. 11. If the content under the Church Records section of the page simply refers you to another parish, skip that parish and mark it as DONE in the Task List.

If there is a problem or a question about any of these parishes, email amberlarsen@familysearch.org with the parish information or contact through Yammer.
