Step 2: Add Hometown Locator Link and Wikipedia Reference
1. Because Wikipedia may not include every single populated place for a county, you will need to add a link to Hometown Locator. Add the following directly under the Populated Places heading:


 * For a complete list of populated places, including small neighborhoods and suburbs, visit [HOMETOWN URL HomeTown Locator].:

2. After copying the above information onto the page, go to HomeTown Locator.com Select the state you are working in. 3. When you are redirected to your state page, scroll down the page until you see a list of the state’s counties. Select the county you are working on. 4. When you are redirected to your county page, select the tan “Cities” tab (NOT the red one). Copy the page's URL and replace HOMETOWN URL with that URL. It should look like the following:
 * For a complete list of populated places, including small neighborhoods and suburbs, visit HomeTown Locator.:

5. It's important to always give a reference to where we obtained the information we add to the wiki. Add the following directly after Hometown Locator:
 * The following are the most historically and genealogically relevant populated places in this county:

6. Then copy the following wikitext for the reference and place it directly behind the colon in the above phrase:

7. The citation should now look like this: The following are the most historically and genealogically relevant populated places in this county: 8. Replace the NAME OF ARTICLE, with the actual name of the Wikipedia article. If you got the information from Adams County article, you would put in, Adams County, Nebraska. 9. Replace the URL with the actual URL of the Wikipedia article. 10. Replace DATE with the day you looked at the Wikipedia article, such as 31 July 2016.

COMPLETED EXAMPLE OF LINK AND CITATION: For a complete list of populated places, including small neighborhoods and suburbs, visit HomeTown Locator. The following are the most historically and genealogically relevant populated places in this county:
