Project Instructions
1. Go to the Task List and sign up for Family History Center (FHC) that needs to be fixed.

2. Go to the FHC wiki page. If it appears that the FHC has edited and added information by a FHC director (more than just the contact information), you will not be editing the page. Go back to the task page and write, "Edited by Director" in the Date Completed field. Then go to the next FHC.

Part 1 - Delete portions of the page
3. Edit the page and go to Wikitext.

4. Delete everything BUT the category at the bottom of the page. The category will look something like:

5. Paste the following wikitext onto the wiki page:

{| style="margin: 0 10%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #aaa; border-left: 10px solid #5178AC;"  |-   | rowspan="2" style="padding: 0.25em 0.5em; vertical-align:middle;" |    | See [ADD LINK resources available] for this Family History Center in its native language, a branch of the Family History Library.

*Language: Spanish

*Address:

*Phone:

*E-mail:

Your page should now look like this:

ADD PICTURE OF WIKI PAGE IN WIKI TEXT


 * Language: Spanish


 * Address:


 * Phone:


 * E-mail:

Part 2 - Add Contact information
5. If there is NO contact information on the page, copy this wikitext and paste it OVER the Language, address, and email headings on the page:

=== Language: Spanish ===   === Address:  ===   *   === Telephone: ===   *   === E-mail:  ===   *   -

6. Replace the language with the correct language for the center if it is not Spanish.

7. Use the link on the Task list to get to the spreadsheet of location addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for the FHC you are working on.

8. Copy each piece of information from the spreadsheet and add it to the correct heading on the wiki page. If information is missing, just leave it blank.

Example of completed wikitext with contact information added:

=== Language: Spanish ===   === Address:  ===   *Amadeo Sabatini 4871, 1678 Caseros, Buenos Aires, Argentina === Telephone: ===  *54 011-47344464   === E-mail:  ===   *ARG_Caseros@ldsmail.net   -

9. If any of the words are spelled in all uppercase letters, retype them to lower case with the appropriate capitalization and punctuation.

10. Add commas in the address to make it more understandable. A comma always goes between two sets of numbers as seen above. (The second number is like a zip code.)

11. Replace the spaces or dashes in the phone number with periods to increase readability. Example:


 * Before: 54 011-47344464
 * After: 54.011.4734.4464

NOTE: There should always be 4 digits together on the end. The digits before the last 4 can be either 3 or 4 digits depending on the location.

Part 3 - Add language template
The purpose of Part 3 is to add the Spanish language template that goes to the Spanish wiki page.

8. Check Your Work!!! You have finished the task. Add in the Summary field at the bottom of the page, "Added contact info." Once you have saved the page, click on your location map link. If it doesn't work, go back and try number 3 again. Make sure the rest of the information looks correct and make any necessary adjustments.

9. Go back to the task list: Return to the Task List and put in the date you finished the FHC page. You are done with the task!
