FamilySearch Wiki:Adding Historical Records link to FS Collections

Purpose
FamilySearch collections are listed many times in the Wiki, and we want to link to the collection's respective Historical Records article. We feel this will help users learn more about the FamilySearch Collections and what they cover.

Sign up on Task List
1. Go to the Task List and put your name in the "Name" column for the respective Wiki pages you'd like to sign up to work on. 2. Navigate to the first Wiki page you signed up for.

Locate {{RecordSearch code
3. Click "Edit source" near the top of the page to look at the code for the entire Wiki page at once.  4. (In the Wiki, we use the RecordSearch template when we link off to FamilySearch record collections, instead of relying on the URL. The template will take the user directly to the collection when they click on the link it generates on the page.) Use "Ctrl+F" (or "Cmd+F" on a Mac) to locate any instances of the following code on the Wiki page: {{RecordSearch 5. At the top of the page, after you have conducted the "Ctrl+F" function for {{RecordSearch, it will show a count of how many times that code appears on the page. If you find 1 or more instance of that code on the page, mark "Yes" in the "Has {{RecordSearch template?" column of the Task List, and continue to step 6. 6. In the Task List, list the number of times the code appears in the "How many instances on the page?" column. 7. Back on the Wiki page, locate what heading the first instance of "{{RecordSearch" appears under in the code. 8. Near the bottom of the page, click "Show preview", which will show you how the page displays. 9. Locate the heading from step 7 in the Preview of the page. When you have found the correct heading, locate the link (created by the {{RecordSearch code) under that heading. 10. If the link appears in a bulleted-list or another form of list of collections (or even appears by itself without other immediately surrounding content, such as seen in the image below), then continue to step 11. 
 * If you do not find that code anywhere on the page, mark the Task List accordingly, with a "No" in the "Has "{{RecordSearch" template?" column, and a "0" in the "How many instances on the page?" column. Then put today's date in the "Date Completed" column.
 * Note: to identify a heading, look for some equal signs ( === ), typically in two-four equal signs on either side of the name of the heading. An example of a heading is shown below.
 * Note: to accurately find the corresponding FamilySearch collection link, compare the surrounding content around the "{{RecordSearch" code to other content on the page as it is previewed. That will help you know you've found the correct link that corresponds to the "{{RecordSearch" code.
 * Note: If the link to the collection is in the middle of a sentence/paragraph of text, is in a table/chart, or other format that is not a list, then move on to the next instance of the "{{RecordSearch" code on the page and start again at step 7.

Add "How to Use this Collection" link
11. Make sure you are now looking back at the Wiki code of the page, and that you are back at your first instance of the "{{RecordSearch" code. Copy and paste the following code after the code corresponding to the collection. (see also Before & After images below) - How to Use this Collection Before:  After:   12. At the bottom of the page, click "Show preview". You should now see a red link after your collection that says "How to Use this Collection" (see example below).  13. Don't click on the red link. But do click on the blue link that goes to the FamilySearch collection. This will open in a new tab in your browser.  14. After clicking the link, it should take you to the landing search page for that particular collection. 15. There is a link in the middle of the collection search page that says "Learn more". Click "Learn more". It will take you to the corresponding FamilySearch Historical Records article in the Wiki. 16. Copy the entire name of the Historical Records Article (as seen below).  17. Back on your page of code, replace the "ARTICLETITLE" in the code you pasted with the full name of the Historical Records article from step 16.    18. Click "Show preview" again, and make sure your changed worked. You should now see a blue link that says "How to Use this Collection" right after the link to a FamilySearch collection.  <Br> 19. If the finished product looks similar to the image above, scroll to the bottom of the page and in the "Summary:" box, type "Added How to Use this Collection link", and then click "Save changes." 20. If you have more than 1 instance of the "{{RecordSearch" code in your page, repeat again from step 7 until you have added the How to Use this Collection link to every instance of "{{RecordSearch". 21. After you have completed this for each instance of "{{RecordSearch", go back to the Task List and put today's date in the "Date Completed" column, and continue on to your next item. <Br>
 * Note: occasionally, such as in the image after step 12 above, there will be two links. In the example from step 12, you would click on the blue link for the title of the collection (Alabama State Census, 1866), not the link that says "FamilySearch".
