=Overview= Your task is to take the chart for each country (or for Mexico, each state) in Lyman Platt's book and turn them into charts for each country/state on the Wiki.

You'll create them all in sandbox, then we'll move them to the main wiki once all the tables have been created.

Whenever you work on this project, you will be doing it using Wikitext, which means you will click edit source instead of edit whenever you add information to a page. Wikitext is a little hard to get used to, so use the Wikitext Cheatsheet and the lessons on Wiki University to familiarize yourself with how Wikitext works.

Before even beginning to edit, read through the document I sent you to get familiarized with how to edit the wiki.

Create A Country Table

 * 1) Make sure you are signed into FamilySearch.
 * 2) On this page, under Resources, open Chart Template in a new tab.
 * 3) On the Chart Template page, on the top-right click edit source
 * 4) Copy the table, starting with the { bracket and ending with the } bracket.
 * 5) On the bottom of the page, press Cancel.
 * 6) Return to this page.
 * 7) Under Countries click edit source.
 * 8) Type your name next to the first available country on the list. I've already assigned Argentina to Kenya and Bolivia to Cindy.
 * 9) Press Save changes in blue at the bottom of the page.
 * 10) The link to the country will be in red because the page has not yet been created. Click the red link to the country.
 * 11) A new page will open. On the top-right, click create source.
 * 12) Paste the chart into the page. To make sure it copied and pasted correctly, you can press show preview at the bottom of the page. A preview version of the page will appear. Scroll down to return to the edit box.
 * 13) Once you are sure it copied and pasted correctly, press save changes.

Fill In A Country Table
1. Make sure you are signed into FamilySearch. 2. On this page, go to the list of countries. Open the country page you are assigned to work on in anther tab. Notice the link is now blue because you created the page. 3. Press edit source on the top-right of the page. 4. Begin to fill in information from the book. 5. Fill in the information as needed, with the following adjustments to the Access/Reference Section.
 * Because this is a country page, we did not include the country column that is in the book.
 * Locality and Province are in a different order.
 * The year is the same.
 * Reference has been changed to Access.
 * If the reference is an archive
 * Type the full (modern) name of the archive, as found in the index at the beginning of the book.
 * If possible, link the archive to its contact page [archivecontactwebsite(space)Full Archive Name].
 * If the reference is a book/article/revista:
 * Try to find a digital copy.
 * If no digital copy exists, type out the full title (AAA turns into Archivo Historico del Ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de Mexico).
 * If a digital copy exists and it does not say where the census is stored, type out the full title as a link [website(space)Full Title].
 * If a digital copy exists and it says where the census is stored, type out the the full name of the archive as a link [website(space)Name of Archive].
 * If the reference is a microfilm number.
 * Find the microfilm in the catalog.
 * The title will be [link(space)Family History Library microfilm XXXXXXX].
 * If there is only one microfilm, link directly to the images [FamilySearchImageCollectionURL(space)Family History Library microfilm XXXXXXX].
 * If there are multiple films, link to the catalog entry that contains those films [FamilySearchCatalogPageURL(space)Family History Library microfilm XXXXXXX].

If problems arise, reach out to me and the three of us will decide together how to handle it. If you don't understand my instructions, let me know and I will walk you through what I mean (sorry!).
