Purpose
To add "Maps" and "Gazetteers" to every country's sidebar.

Task List
Task List

Part A. Getting Started
Go to the Task List (it's right above these instructions). Open the Google Sheet so you can see all countries. This Google Sheet is divided by continent/geographic area. There are 7 tabs: Africa, North America & Caribbean, South America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Pacific. Select one of the tabs at the bottom of the window. You'll notice that each sheet is organized by Country, Maps, and Gazetteers. You'll also notice that underneath Maps and Gazetteers, some of the cells are red and some are green. The red cells mean that "Maps", "Gazetteers", or both need to be added to the country's sidebar page. Green cells mean that either "Maps" or "Gazetteers" has already been added. (Usually! PLEASE double-check every country to make sure that each has been added to the sidebar.) Select a country. The hyperlink will take you to its country page. On the right side of the page, you will see the sidebar (the rectangle with the country's flag on it). Underneath Background, you will see several links underneath.
 * If you see a "Map" bulletpoint underneath Background, go to the Google Doc. Highlight the map cell and fill it with green. Then, type your name in the cell. Please be careful when updating the document. Make sure that the cell you are updating is for the country you are looking at.
 * If you see a "Gazetteers" bulletpoint underneath Background, also go to the Google Doc. Highlight the gazetteer cell and fill it with green. Then, type your name in the cell. Please be careful when updating the document. Make sure that the cell you are updating is for the country you are looking at.
 * If you don't see "Maps" or "Gazetteers", then go to Part B below.
 * If you see a single "Maps & Gazetteers" bulletpoint, then go to Part C & D below.

Part B: Adding "Maps" or "Gazetteers"

 * 1. Sign into FamilySearch if you haven't already.
 * 2. Next to the search bar, there are 6 tabs. ("Read," "Edit," "Edit source," "View history," a star, and "More") Select Edit source.
 * 3. Towards the bottom of the page, you should see Templates used on this page: with template links listed underneath. Select edit by the sidebar template. It should something like this:
 * Template:Zambia-sidebar (edit)

NOTE: Select (edit). Do not select the template.
 * 4. There will be a lot of text on this page. You will be editing a country's background information. Scroll down until you see something like the following:
 * | colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background: #C8C8C8; font-size:14pt"|Zambia Background:
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *History
 * *Jurisdictions
 * *Languages
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Maps
 * *Social Life & Customs
 * *Social Life & Customs

NOTE: Notice how the wikitext above has a label, "Zambia Background." This is very important. Other wikitext on this page will look similar to the above, but it needs to be labeled as Name of Country + Background. Or else, you might edit the wrong place.
 * 5. Ok, time to add "Gazetteers" to the page. Look at the wikitext above. All the links are divided into two sections. Notice how the first section has links for History, Jurisdictions, and Languages. The second section has links for Maps and Social Life and Customs.
 * We still need to add "Gazetteers" to the list. We also need to add it alphabetically to the list. Copy the text below:


 * *Gazetteers


 * And then place it where it belongs alphabetically. For this example, because "Gazetteers" comes before "History," alphabetically, "Gazetteers" will be first on the list. It should look something like this:


 * | colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background: #C8C8C8; font-size:14pt"|Country Background:
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Gazetteers
 * *History
 * *Jurisdictions
 * *Languages
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Maps
 * *Social Life & Customs
 * *Social Life & Customs

You will then put in the country's name where COUNTRY is. (NOTE: Some country's have a lengthy name. Put in the name that the other links use. For example in this template, you would put in "Zambia" because that's what the other links use. You wouldn't put in "Republic of Zambia." We're doing this to keep things standardized :) ) If you need to add "Maps" to the sidebar, then you would follow these instructions too. Instead, you will copy the following and make sure that you alphabetically place "Maps" where it needs to go:
 * *Maps


 * 6. Alright, so because we added "Gazetteers" to the first section, it's kinda lopsided now. We need to make sure that there is an equal number of links in each section. So, we are going to move the bottom link of section one (which in this example is "Languages") and move it to the top of the second section (above "Maps"). This is so we can keep the links in alphabetical order. It should now look something like this:
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Gazetteers
 * *History
 * *Jurisdictions
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Languages
 * *Maps
 * *Social Life & Customs
 * *Social Life & Customs

Because we have 2 sections and 6 links, each section has 3 links. But if we had an odd number of links, then we would have one more link in the first section. For example if we had 7 links, then we would put 4 links in the first section and the remaining 3 in the second section.
 * 7. Select Save page. It will then redirect you to a page that shows your updated country sidebar. Double-check to make sure it looks okay. The new link you added will be red. This is fine because these new pages will be updated in the future.
 * 8. Go to the Google Doc. Highlight the appropriate cell and fill it with green. Then, type your name in the cell. Please be careful when updating the document. Make sure that the cell you are updating is for the country you are looking at.
 * 9. Pat yourself on the back and treat yourself to a snack. Preferably milk and cookies.

Part C: "Maps & Gazetteers" (adding "Gazetteers")

 * 1. Sign into FamilySearch if you haven't already.
 * 2. Next to the search bar, there are 6 tabs. ("Read," "Edit," "Edit source," "View history," a star, and "More") Select Edit source.
 * 3. Towards the bottom of the page, you should see Templates used on this page: with template links listed underneath. Select (edit) by the sidebar template. It should look something like this:
 * Template:Sao Tome and Principe-sidebar (edit)

NOTE: Select (edit). Do not select the template.
 * 4. There will be a lot of text on this page. You will be editing a country's background information. Scroll down until you see something like the following:
 * | colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background: #C8C8C8; font-size:14pt"|São Tomé and Príncipe Background
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *History
 * *Jurisdictions
 * *Languages
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Maps & Gazetteers
 * *Portuguese Word List
 * *Portuguese Word List

NOTE: Notice how the wikitext above has a label, "São Tomé and Príncipe Background." This is very important. Other wikitext on this page will look similar to the above, but it needs to be labeled with the country's name plus Background.
 * 5. At some point, we will move/redirect Sao Tome and Principe's page for "Maps & Gazetteers." But before we do that, we will first add "Gazetteers" to the sidebar.
 * Look at the wikitext above. All the links are divided into two sections. Notice how the first section has links for History, Jurisdictions, and Languages. The second section has links for Maps & Gazetteers and Portuguese Word List. We need to add "Gazetteers" to the list. We also need to add it alphabetically to the list. Copy the text below:


 * *Gazetteers


 * And then place it where it alphabetically belongs. For this example, because "Gazetteers" comes before "History," alphabetically, "Gazetteers" will be first on the list. It should look something like this:


 * | colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background: #C8C8C8; font-size:14pt"|São Tomé and Príncipe Background
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Gazetteers
 * *History
 * *Jurisdictions
 * *Languages
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Maps & Gazetteers
 * *Portuguese Word List
 * *Portuguese Word List

You will then put in the country's name where COUNTRY is. (NOTE: Some country's have a lengthy name. Put in the name that the other links use. For example in this template, you would put in "Sao Tome and Principe" because that's what the other links use. You wouldn't put in "São Tomé and Príncipe" or "The Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe." We're doing this to keep things standardized :) )
 * 7. Select Save page. It will then redirect you to a page with just your country's sidebar. Double-check to make sure "Gazetteers" is spelled correctly and the link was added correctly. (You may have to refresh the page a couple of times.)

Part D: "Maps & Gazetteers" (moving to "Maps" page)

 * 1. Go to your country's home page. Is the "Maps & Gazetteers" link red? If it is, then you won't have to move the page because it hasn't been created yet. You will just need to rename it. If it is blue, then skip down to step _________.
 * 2. Select Edit source at the top of the country page. Select the sidebar template at the bottom of the page. It should look something like this:
 * Template:Madagascar-sidebar (edit)

Select (edit). Scroll down and find the wikitext for your country's background. It should look something like this:
 * | colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background: #C8C8C8; font-size:14pt"|Madagascar Background


 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *French Word List
 * *Gazetteers
 * *History
 * *Jurisdictions
 * *Languages
 * | style="vertical-align:top; width:50%"|
 * *Maps & Gazetteers
 * *For Further Reading
 * *For Further Reading

REMEMBER: It should be labeled something like Madagascar Background We are editing the background and this is where "Maps & Gazetteers" should be located. Notice above that one of the links says Maps & Gazetteers. We are simply going to change it to Maps. Right now it looks like this:
 * *Maps & Gazetteers

Simply change it to this:
 * *Maps

Make sure you keep the country name and coding language. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 * 3.


 * 1. We are next going to move the "Maps & Gazetteers" page to the "Maps" page. Go to your country's home page. Select the sidebar link, Maps & Gazetteers. When the page opens, move your cursor over the More tab right next to the search bar. Select Move from the drop-down menu.
 * 2. You'll then be redirected to a new page and there will be a box with a heading that says "Move page." We are going to change the title from "Sao Tome and Principe Maps and Gazetteers" to "Sao Tome and Principe Maps". For the reason, write down "creating a page for both maps and gazetteers". Select Move page.

Because we have 2 sections and 6 links, each section has 3 links. But if we had an odd number of links, then we would have one more link in the first section. For example if we had 7 links, then we would put 4 links in the first section and the remaining 3 in the second section.
 * 12. Select Save page. Compare the new "Maps" page with the old "Maps & Gazetteers" page. Both pages should be exactly the same (except for the title and breadcrumb). Fix problems if you need to.
 * 7. Select Save page. It will then redirect you to a page that shows your updated country sidebar. Double-check to make sure it looks okay. The new link you added will be red. This is fine because these new pages will be updated in the future.
 * 8. Go to the Google Doc. Highlight the appropriate cell and fill it with green. Then, type your name in the cell. Please be careful when updating the document. Make sure that the cell you are updating is for the country you are looking at.
 * 9. Pat yourself on the back and treat yourself to a snack. Preferably milk and cookies.
