FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject North Dakota Links

Main Page

1. This task involves checking links and finding replacement links for broken one.

2. Go to the Task List and sign out a section of counties to work on.

3. Check all external links on the page to make sure they are working. The easiest way to do this is to use two browser windows. Open the first on the county page. Then when you come to an external link, right click on it and select "Open Link in New Tab" and this will open a second browser window with the link open in it. Be sure it works.

4. If the link works, go on to the next link on the page.

5. If the link is broken, go to Google and enter the collection/website name in Google and see what returns. There may be a new URL if the broken link is a website, and if the broken link is a collection, there may be alternate resources for that collection.
 * a. If you find a new URL or resource for the link, correct it and move on to the next link.
 * b. If you cannot find a new URL or resource for the link, remove it from the page.  Be sure if there is any writing associated with the link such as
 * a description, you will need to remove that as well.
 * c. Once you have finished correcting or removing that link go on to the next one.\

6. Once you have finished all the links on the page, go back to the Task Lit and enter the date you completed your pages.
