FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks Top Table

Task Description
Add the "overview" table at the top and adapt it to each of the 29 Utah counties.

Purpose of the table: provide at-a-glance information and direction. We expect people to be helped more quickly by this table.

Many people have reviewed and accepted the table on the Experimental County page. It is finally ready to be added to each county.

Step 1: Preparation

 * Why: It is easy to switch between this "Task" page and the county you are working on when you have two windows open.
 * Tip: if you sign in to the Wiki first, your sign in works in both windows.


 * To open a new window:
 * Right-click Project page (located at the right of the screen under the word Views) and select Open in new window.
 * Add your name to the sign up chart for the appropriate county.
 * Write the county name in the Summary and Save page
 * Click to the county

Step 2: Copy and paste the FHLC paragraph
* Now in WikiText, place the cursor under the topic and paste.

Step 3. Change the FHLC paragraph to the correct county and topic
Edit (in WikiText) this part of the FHLC paragraph:


 * Utah, Beaver - Cemeteries|subject|disp=records of cemeteries

A. Change "Beaver" to the county you are working on. B. Change "Cemeteries" to match the FHLC topic exactly -- otherwise the link won't work C. Change "records of cemeteries" to the topic.


 * Be sure to leave the space-dash-space between the county and subject name)
 * Be sure to leave the "pipe" after the subject name you changed (The pipe is above the backslash "\" on the keyboard)

Note: "disp" means "display". It's what the user will see. FYI: the PAGENAME template automatically displays the county name.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 to the end

 * Go to the next subject for the county in the FHL Catalog
 * Remember Alt+Tab to switch between them
 * Repeat steps 2 and 3
 * Summarize your edit "FHLC links to [subjects]"
 * Save Page

Step 5: Update the sign up chart

 * Add the date you finished the FHLC links for this county and enter "Done" in Remarks (unless you have other remarks to add)
 * Give your edit summary "[county] finished" and Save page
