New template
Good morning! My name is Pamela and I am a member of the FamilySearch Wiki support team. One of our responsibilities is reviewing new changes to the Wiki. I noticed you are adding an article for the Fort Smith Public Library; that will be a great addition, thank you! I also noticed that you created this template: Template:Sibst"Affo;oate-libraries. Since the FS Wiki provides a template titled 'subst:Affiliate-libraries' for use in creating Wiki articles for Affiliate Libraries, I'm assuming you were attempting to use that template to create your new Wiki page.  I'd like to help you get this new page set up.  Please reply to this note on this page and I'll be happy to help!  If I don't hear from you, I'll make changes as necessary to get the right template in use and to delete the template 'Template:Sibst"Affo;oate-libraries'.

Thanks again for contributing to the FS Wiki!

Yes, I was trying to do this for a new affiliate library. I think in need to do your university to really understand. Sorry for just trying to jump in and do.

Affiliate library template
No worries at all! It's brave of you to just jump in. Sometimes that works great, sometimes not. We've all experienced it. Try the link at the end of this message, which goes to the Affiliate Library page. At the end of the section titled FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries Map, there is a link: "Instructions on how to add your FamilySearch Affiliate Library to this list and create a Affiliate Library Wiki page." If you want to go for it yourself, just let me know. If you do, you will need to first delete the Fort Smith Public Library page already begun, and then start the new one from scratch. Directions for deleting the page and the accidentally created template are below.

If you'd rather I did it, I'm happy to. Just let me know which way you want to go. If I do it, I'll get the library page to the point it is now, except it will have the correct template attached to it.

Instructions for deleting:


 * 1) Go to the Fort Smith Public Library page you created.
 * 2) Navigate to the tabbed menu at the top of your page, and select the dropdown menu item "More" (it's at the end of the list: Read, Edit source, View history - and just to the right of the star icon).
 * 3) Select "Delete".
 * 4) A new window will appear, with a space to select a reason from a menu.
 * 5) You can delete the text that will be in the "Other/additional reason" field and add your own additional reason, or ignore it.
 * 6) I suggest unchecking the Watch This Page box.
 * 7) Click on Delete Page button.

Then, follow the steps 2-7 for the "Template:Sibst"Affo;oate-libraries" created, after navigating to that template page.

That will do it!

After that, you can start with the instructions from the Affiliate Library page. Here's the URL for that page: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/FamilySearch_Affiliate_Libraries

Thanks again for helping improve the FS Wiki!

Best regards,

Pamela
