FamilySearch Wiki:Populating Norway Infoboxes: Part 1

Purpose
Now that the Norway parish pages have infoboxes, we need to start populating them with information. This project will be adding information to the Stift/Bispedømme/Diocese and Prosti (meaning the diocese and the deanery) parts of the infoboxes. This information will be helpful to researchers looking for what jurisdictions their ancestors' records will be in.

Task List
Task List

Step 1 - Sign Up
1. Go to the Task List and sign up for section.

Step 2 - Locate Parishes
2. Open the link in the Prosti column for your respective sign up. This leads to a Wikipedia page for the Bispedømme (the diocese), listing all of the parishes in each Prosti (deanery within the diocese) in separate sections. The link should take you directly to the section of the page listed in your section of the Task List.
 * Example: Prosti section of the Task List says "Østre Borgesyssel", and the link leads directly to the "Østre Borgesyssel" section of the Wikipedia page.

3. Locate the first link (parish) at the top of your section of the Prosti Wikipedia page.

4. Open the link(s) in theWiki County Page column on the Task list for your respective sign up.

5. Compare the parish name from Step 4 to the list of parishes given in the Wiki County Page link (from the Task list) to locate the respective FS Wiki parish page.
 * Example: The first parish listed under "Østre Borgesyssel" on the Wikipedia page is called Eidsberg. According to the Task List, the corresponding Wiki County Page is Østfold County, Norway. In the list of parishes on the Østfold county page in our Wiki, there is a parish also called Eidsberg. This would be a match to the parish listed on the Wikipedia page.

Example


6. Open the corresponding FS Wiki parish page, and click Edit Source.
 * NOTE: Not all parishes on the FS Wiki county page will be featured on the Wikipedia page, and vice versa. When you find parishes listed in either location that do not have an equivalent on the other page, just skip them and continue on to the next parish.

Step 3 - Add Information to Infobox Code
5. Back on the Task List, see the Bispedømme and Prosti column entries for your respective sign up.

6. Add the name from the Bispedømme column into the Stift/Bispedømme/Diocese part of the parish infobox, and the name of the Prosti column into the Prosti part of the parish infobox.
 * NOTE 1: (This information can also be found on the Wikipedia page, as shown in the example images below)
 * NOTE 2: If the information has special characters, be sure to copy and paste the actual spelling to keep those Norwegian characters.

Example




6. After you have correctly added the information into the infobox, Save the page, and continue on to the next parish from that section on the Wikipedia page.

7. If there are parishes on the Wikipedia prosti list that are NOT on our FS Wiki, add the parish name, county name, and Prosti name into this spreadsheet.

If there is a problem or a question about any of these parishes, email amberlarsen@familysearch.org with the parish information or contact through Yammer.
