Project Instructions
1. Go to the Task List and sign up for Family History Center (FHC) that needs to be fixed.

2. Go to the FHC wiki page. If it appears that the FHC has edited and added information, skip the page. If the page only has the contact information on the page, go to part 1.

Part 1 - Delete portions of the page
3. Edit the page and go to Wikitext.

4. Delete the following (if it is on the page):


 * a. The template found at the top of the page.
 * b. The sentence that says:
 * (Add a brief paragraph about your center here and the area it serves. Information in italics below is guidance for you and should be deleted as you fill out the page. Remove italics from other text by selecting the text and clicking the "I" box in the Toolbar above.)
 * c. All text below:
 * Holiday Schedule:

Your page should now look like this:

Part 2 - Add Contact information
5. If there is NO contact information on the page, copy this wikitext and paste it OVER the Language, address, and email headings on the page:

=== Language: Spanish ===   === Address:  ===   *   === Telephone: ===   *   === E-mail:  ===   *   -

6. Replace the language with the correct language for the center if it is not Spanish.

7. Use the link on the Task list to get to the spreadsheet of location addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for the FHC you are working on.

8. Copy each piece of information from the spreadsheet and add it to the correct heading on the wiki page. If information is missing, just leave it blank.

Example of completed wikitext with contact information added:

=== Language: Spanish ===   === Address:  ===   *Amadeo Sabatini 4871, 1678 Caseros, Buenos Aires, Argentina === Telephone: ===  *54 011-47344464   === E-mail:  ===   *ARG_Caseros@ldsmail.net   -

9. If any of the words are spelled in all uppercase letters, retype them to lower case with the appropriate capitalization and punctuation.

10. Add commas in the address to make it more understandable. A comma always goes between two sets of numbers as seen above. (The second number is like a zip code.)

11. Replace the spaces or dashes in the phone number with periods to increase readability. Example:


 * Before: 54 011-47344464
 * After: 54.011.4734.4464

NOTE: There should always be 4 digits together on the end. The digits before the last 4 can be either 3 or 4 digits depending on the location.

Part 3 - Add language template
The purpose of Part 3 is to add the Spanish language template that goes to the Spanish wiki page.

12.

8. Check Your Work!!! You have finished the task. Add in the Summary field at the bottom of the page, "Added contact info." Once you have saved the page, click on your location map link. If it doesn't work, go back and try number 3 again. Make sure the rest of the information looks correct and make any necessary adjustments.

9. Go back to the task list: Return to the Task List and put in the date you finished the FHC page. You are done with the task!
