FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject World Survey Religious Records

Project Leader
Becca Curtis

Purpose
Every major religion practiced in each country has been previously identified using the CIA Factbook. The purpose of this project is to change the format of the Religious Records page and add links for every Christian church to the Church Records page.

Step 1: Reformat Religious Records Page
1. Click on the country to go to that country's wiki page. Then click on "Religious Records." We want to reformat the page from looking like this:
 * Church Records 1 img 3.png

To looking like this:
 * Church Records 1 img 4.png

2. How to do this:


 * 1. Find a Christian denomination.
 * Christian denominations will be found under the Anglican, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox headings.
 * Each Christian denomination will have its own bullet point and will link to its section on the Church Records page.
 * 2. Add a bullet point and link under its current heading using this template: *CHURCH Records
 * The # specifies what section of the Church Records page the link will open up to. We want the link to open up to that denomination on the Church Records page.
 * 3. Change COUNTRY to the name of the country you are working on and change CHURCH to the name of the Christian denomination/church you are linking to.
 * For example: the link to the Catholic Records on the Ghana Church Records page will look like *Catholic Records
 * The link may be red if the Church Records page has not been created yet.
 * 4. If there is more than one Christian denomination under a heading, each will have their own bullet point. Make sure they are in alphabetical order.
 * The Protestant heading is likely the only heading that will have more than 1 bullet point.
 * Some countries may have 5-10 Protestant denominations listed.
 * 5. Delete the line that says: "For more information...visit this page: [COUNTRY Church Records.] under the Anglican, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox headings.
