Fran,

You are creating a bunch of portals. I suggest you create a template for the portal pages and use subst: to copy them as you need. You seem to be copy / pasting a lot. You could modify Template:Portal/US/State to remove the county box, and include the category link. See Wikipedia's Subst help for more info. Remember to put 'Subst' in your comment so we can see how efficient you are being. Thanks The Earl 13:51, 14 March 2008 (MDT)

Substitution
The wiki article that explains how to create portal page does not use any substitution option. I am following the instructions as stated on FamilySearch Wiki. If there's another way to accomplish the same task, maybe you could make changes to the instructions. The full set of instructions for creating a portal page can be found at FamilySearchWiki:Portal Instructions and in summary, the steps outlined in the article are as follows:

How to create a portal

To create a portal page:

1. Create a new page titled Portal:(name of topic). For example, to create a portal about Oregon, it would be titled Portal:Oregon. 2. Copy and paste the code in the state page skeleton box below into the newly created portal page. 3. Save the page. 4. The portal page will now show boxes with red links. Click the red link to add content to a box.
