Task List

Step 1
1. Go to the parish page (links are on the Task List) and find the "Church records" heading. Click "Edit source" next to the heading.
 * We will be adding to the IGI part of the table in this section.
 * The IGI code that we will changing looks like:

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | IGI | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | |-


 * It is found in this part of the code:



Step 2
1. Go to: www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/fs-brk.htm.
 * The Archer Software lists birth/christening and marriage IGI collections for each parish (no burials). We will be adding these collections to the table on each parish page.

2. Scroll down to the parish you are working on. (An example is shown below)

3. Add all of the Births/Baptisms, Births, and/or Baptisms IGI collections to the first space in the code below using this template:

The batch number is found:

The year range is found:

To Note:
 * Only add the IGI batch if the batch has over 50 entries.
 * The number of entries in the batch is found:

For example:
 * If there is more than one batch for the Births/Baptisms, add a comma between the links. Put the batches in chronological order (older batch first).
 * If there are no IGI collections for the parish, then put a  on the line.
 * The parish of Binfield has two Births/Baptisms IGI collections (C020371 and C020373) with over 50 entries:

| bgcolor="#ffffcc" | IGI | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | , | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 4. Add all of the Marriages IGI collections to the second space in the code below using this template:

The batch number is found:

The year range is found:

To Note:
 * Only add the IGI batch if the batch has over 50 entries.
 * The number of entries in the batch is found:

For example:
 * If there is more than one batch for the Marriages, add a comma between the links. Put the batches in chronological order (older batch first).
 * If there are no IGI collections for the parish, then put a  on the line.
 * The parish of Binfield has three Marriages IGI collections (M020371, M020373, and M020372) with over 50 entries:

| bgcolor="#ffffcc" | IGI | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | , | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" |, , | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" |

5. Put "Adding to IGI part of table" in the Summary box and then hit "Save page."

Finished Example
For the parish of Binfield (image shown above), two Births/Baptisms batches (C020371 and C020373) and three Marriages batches (M020371, M020373, and M020372) would be added.

The code looks like: | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | IGI | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | , | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" |, , | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" |

The table looks like:
