Title of Page: FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Pennsylvania/Tasks-Fix County headings

WikiProject Pennsylvania Wiki Project Pennsyvania - Fix County headings

Description
This task involves 3 parts. They involve updating the headings in a county structure to make them more uniform for Pennsylvania.

PART A
1. Log into the wiki.

2. Go to Pennsylvania. From this page, click on the first county in the alphabetical list of counties.

3. When you are on the county page, review the county page table of contents.

4. For now, ignore the heading, "County Courthouse."

5. In wikitext, change the next heading, "History" to "Historical Facts."

6. Make sure "Historical Facts" remains in same heading number as before (the same as the "Resources" heading).

7. Under "Places/Localities" in wikitext cut "Neighboring Counties" and all of the information under it and paste it directly under "Boundary Changes" (located under the heading "Historical Facts.") This pushes the heading "Record Loss" down. "Neighboring Counties" should be the same heading as "Boundary Changes."

8. If there is nothing under the heading "Record Loss", delete it.

7. If there is info under the heading, "Records Loss" ___________________

8. Go to PART B below

PART B
1. In wikitext, change the heading "Places/Localities" to just "Places."

2. Now cut the section starting with "Places/Localities" and everything under it. ("Neighboring Counties" should have been moved in Part A above.)

3. Go to the end of the page and paste this section just above the heading "References"

4. Make sure "Places" remains in same heading number as before (the same as the "Resources" heading).

PART C
1. Within the same county, review the table of contents to see what is listed under the "Resources" heading.

2. Using the list below, insert any missing headings in alphabetic order in the appropriate heading (headings 3 or 4) as compared to other headings.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN!


 * Make sure you are in wikitext
 * You will not be able to paste the whole list on the page, because many headings are already added. This list is to make sure that all of these headings are included on each county page.
 * You may also rename a heading if it does not match those in the list. For example, if the heading on the county page is "Court," you may change it to "Court Records" to make it consistant with other county pages.
 * If there are additional headings not on this list, leave them there. Do not erase the heading or the information. If there is a variation of the heading, change it to the correct heading from below.

HEADINGS 3 and 4 === Bible Records ===   === Cemeteries ===   === Census ===   === Church Records ===   === Court Records ===   ==== Court of Common Pleas ====   ===== Clerk of the Court =====   ===== Prothonotary =====   ==== Orphan's Court (see Vital Records) ====   === Emigration and Immigration ===   === Ethnic Groups ===   === Gazetteers ===   === Genealogy ===   === History ===   ==== Published Histories ====   === Land and Property ===   === Maps ===   === Migration ===   === Military  ===   === Naturalization and Citizenship ===   === Newspapers ===   ==== Obituaries ====   === Occupations ===   ==== Indentured Servants ====   === Periodicals ===   === Poorhouse, Almshouse ===   === Probate Records ===   === Repositories ===   ==== Archives ====   ==== Courthouses ====   ==== Family History Centers ====   ==== Libraries ====   ==== Museums ====   ==== Societies ====   === Taxation ===   === Vital Records ===

HEADINGS 4 and 5 === Bible Records ===   === Cemeteries ===   === Census ===   === Church Records ===   === Court Records ===   ==== Court of Common Pleas ====   ===== Clerk of the Court =====   ===== Prothonotary =====   ==== Orphan's Court (see Vital Records) ====   === Emigration and Immigration ===   === Ethnic Groups ===   === Gazetteers ===   === Genealogy ===   === History ===   ==== Published Histories ====   === Land and Property ===   === Maps ===   === Migration ===   === Military  ===   === Naturalization and Citizenship ===   === Newspapers ===   ==== Obituaries ====   === Occupations ===   ==== Indentured Servants ====   === Periodicals ===   === Poorhouse, Almshouse ===   === Probate Records ===   === Repositories ===   ==== Archives ====   ==== Courthouses ====   ==== Family History Centers ====   ==== Libraries ====   ==== Museums ====   ==== Societies ====   === Taxation ===   === Vital Records ===

PART C
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: if the structure of the county page is vastly different from the others, please make a note of the county and move on to the next county. You do not need to edit it. Then submit the list of counties to Danielle. She will make the necessary adjustments. (examples: Orange County or Alemeda County, California. or Marinette County, Wisconsin)

1. Within in the same county, add the following 4 headings directly under "Probate Records" ("Probate Records" and "Repositories" should be the same heading number):

Headings 3 and 4 === Repositories ===   ==== Archives, Libraries and Museums ====   ==== County Courthouse ====   ==== Family History Centers ====

Headings 4 and 5 ==== Repositories ====   ===== Archives, Libraries and Museums =====   ===== County Courthouse =====   ===== Family History Centers =====

2. Now locate the information regarding archives, libraries, museums, county courthouse and family history libraries on the page.

NOTE:


 * For California some of the information is under "Societies, Libraries, and Museums." Cut the information from this section that applies (leaving the Society info where it is).
 * For Wisconsin, library information may be listed under "Societies and Libraries." Cut the information from this section that applies (leaving the Society info where it is).

3. In wikitext, cut the information from each corresponding heading and put it in the new headings you just added.

4. Go back and erase extra headings from the county page. You will probably make the following changes once the information is moved:


 * Erase "County Courthouse" (from the top of the page, the top should now start with Historical Facts). All of the information - if there is any - should be put under "County Courthouse" under "Repositories."
 * "Achives and Libraries" should no longer be a heading at the top (directly under "Resources"). It should be erased and the information put under "Archives, Libraries and Museums" under "Repositories."
 * For California: when applicable, change the "Societies, Libraries and Museums" heading to just "Societies" and move it up to a higher heading number. It will be either a heading 3 or 4 and should match the other headings under "Resources."
 * For Wisconsin: when applicable, change the "Societies and Libraries" heading to just "Societies" and move it up to a higher heading number. It will be either a heading 3 or 4 and should match the other headings under "Resources."

5. Once you are finished, add the following in the summary just above the "save page" button at the bottom of the page: Added headings

SHORTCUT: you may want to type in "Added headings" the first time you save. For the next time you save, if you type the letter a, the wiki will suggest "Added headings." You can then click on it and it will put it in the summary for you saving you the cut and paste option above.

6. Now save the page.

7. Return to the top of the page and click on the state name in the bread crumb trail.

8. While on the state page, choose the next county on the list and go to beginning of this task and start at Part A, number 3.
