Instructions
TEMPLATE for new Social Customs page

Publications
Denise Poulsen leave this here. It's part of a template. -- ---

1. Sign up for a country on one of the tabs of the task list spreadsheet.

2. Go to the country Social Life and Customs page for your country. 

3. Copy and paste the following code under the "Publications" heading. 

4. Replace all the items in ALL CAPS with the respective pieces from the spreadsheet. See the following steps for more description, and see the Example Page (included at the bottom of these instructions) for an example of how the table looks like when it is completed.

5. TOPIC: Replace "TOPIC" with the "Topic" information from the spreadsheet. If the "Topic" column of the spreadsheet doesn't have anything listed for that publication, put a dash "-" in place of "TOPIC".

6. TIMEPERIOD: Replace "TIMEPERIOD" with the "Time Period" information from the spreadsheet. If the "Time Period" column of the spreadsheet has a question mark "?", is unknown, doesn't have anything listed for the publication, put a dash "-" in place of "TIMEPERIOD".

7. AUTHORLASTNAME, AUTHORFIRSTNAME: Replace "AUTHORLASTNAME, AUTHORFIRSTNAME" with the respective information from the "Item Author" column of the spreadsheet. Be sure that the final format of the name is the last name, a comma, and then the first name ending with a period. You may need to open up the item (using the Item Link) to see the way the author's name was originally listed, and then reformat it to match our project. (If there is no author listed, just delete "AUTHORLASTNAME, AUTHORFIRSTNAME" from that listing on the page and continue to the next step.)
 * Example: Batson, Danielle.

8. ITEMLINK: Replace "ITEMLINK" with the full link in the "Item Link" column in the spreadsheet.

9. ITEMTITLE: Replace "ITEMTITLE" with the full title from the "Item Title" column in the spreadsheet.

10. PUBLOCATION: Replace "PUBLOCATION" with the information in the "Pub. Location" column in the spreadsheet. If the information is missing, just delete "PUBLOCATION" from that listing on the page, and continue to the next step. 

11. PUBDATE: Replace "PUBDATE" with the information in the "Pub. Date" column in the spreadsheet. If the information isn't there or is unknown, just delete "PUBDATE" from that listing on the page and continue to the next step.

12. ITEMLOCATION: Replace "ITEMLOCATION" with the information in the "Item Location" column in the spreadsheet.

13. Once you have finished adding all the information for that publication, continue on to the next publication, starting again at step 5.

14. As needed, copy and paste the format from step 3 to accommodate the total list of publications for each country.

15. As you add more and more publications into this table format, it is a good idea to save as you go. For some countries, there can be many publications, and we don't want the Wiki logging you out in the middle of a long work session. As you save as you go, be sure to add this statement to the Summary box: /*Publications*/ Adding publications table

16. When you have finished listing all the publications for a country, click "Show preview" and look through the new Publications table you just created. Make sure the formatting for all the columns and rows looks good and no code looks broken.

17. Add the following to the Summary box, and Save the page: /*Publications*/ Adding publications table
