Task List

Instructions
1. Go to the Task List and sign out a state to work on.

2. You will place the link on the state topic page for Probate if there is one, as well as on each county page for that state under the Probate heading. If there is not a Probate heading on the county page, you will create one. You will sign out by state and place all links for the state you choose.

3. Check to be sure the link does not already appear on the county or topic page you are on. If it does, do not put it on that page. 4. If the link appears on the topic page, remove it. We are going to move the links to the top of the topic page. We will create a Level 3 Heading called Online Records and using wikitext place the records under that heading on the topic page. It should be the first heading on the page. Be sure to check your work to be sure the links are placed properly on the page.

5. Go to each county page for the state (using the list on the state page) and go to the heading Probate and in wikitext paste in the links just as you have copied them from the task page. In the edit summary box, again put added probate links and save your work. Be sure to check your work to make sure the links added properly on the pages. If there is not a Probate heading on the page, create one, placing it alphabetically in the headings.

6. Once you have completed the topic page and all of the county pages, go back to the task page and add a completed date under your name.
