Additionally, next to the last tab, there are right and left arrows that you can click to scroll through.

Beginning Instructions
There are new collections that need to be added to pages on the Wiki.

1. You will need to sign up for a collection under either the International Links or US links tab on the Task List. 2. Open up the FamilySearch Research Wiki 3. Go to the instructions for the specific tab below.

How to Tell if Different Collections Have Indexes or Images
The collection links have been autogenerated to be in the correct format to match the manual of style. The computer is not able to tell if a collection has an index or images, so we will need to check those as we go along and adjust the code accordingly once it is on the page. It automatically says "Index & Images" on all the links.

American Ancestors

 * American Ancestors has icons at the top of their collection landing page that indicates if the collection is index only.
 * This is what an index only collection looks like. Besides the title saying it is an index, there is also a paper icon to the left of the title indicating it is an index only collection.
 * This is what an index and images collection looks like. Notice on the right of the title it has a camera icon.

Ancestry

 * Ancestry usually says in the title of their collections if it is an index. Their landing page will usually tell you if the collection is an index, images, or both.
 * This is what an index only collection looks like. Notice the title says index and there is no place to browse images on the right hand side.
 * This is what an index and images collection looks like. Notice on the right it has a place to browse the images.

Findmypast

 * Findmypast usually does not say outright if their collection includes images. You will need to search with a common last name like, "Smith" and see if there are images in the collection.
 * Search a common last name in the search space
 * The file icon on the left means it has an index and the image icon on the right means that it has images. Collections may have just the index and will only show the file icon in those instances.

MyHeritage

 * MyHeritage usually does not say outright if their collection includes images. You will need to search with a common last name like, "Smith" and see if there are images in the collection.
 * If you search and click "View Record" and a set of images shows, the collection is Index & Images.
 * If you search and click "View Record" and a stock photo shows, the collection is just Index.

 * If the link is already on the page, replace it with this new link to make it match the new manual of style. Do not worry about other entries on the page that are not in accordance with the manual of style.
 * If there are no other entries with dates, put this as the first bullet.
 * If there is a note about there being no online records available, please replace that note with this link.
