Step 1: Review the info in the Maps Heading
1. If you find there are already links listed under the Maps and Gazetteers heading, make sure they are under the Intro template listed. 2. Next, make sure the map image is directly under the Intro template. Move it if necessary.

Step 2: Reformat info already listed in the Maps Heading
1. If there are links listed to maps in the heading, place them in correct order and conform the links to look like the following :


 * Map of Kansas: Interactive Formation Boundary Map of Kansas - Interactive map showing boundary changes for Kansas Counties by year
 * Maps of NAME OF COUNTY: (replace NAME OF COUNTY with the county name you are working on)
 * [URL LINK NAME] - WEBSITE NAME AND ANY DESCRIPTION
 * [URL LINK NAME] - WEBSITE NAME AND ANY DESCRIPTION

2. Regarding the link, Interactive Formation Boundary Map of Kansas - if it is already on the page, make sure the description matches the above and change it as necessary.

*Map of Kansas: Interactive Formation Boundary Map of Kansas - Interactive map showing boundary changes for COUNTY NAME by year

Step 3: Add Additional info to Maps Heading
Go to the following websites and find links for the specific county

1. Copy and paste only the wikitext for the links not already listed under the Maps heading for the county.

*Map of Kansas: Interactive Formation Boundary Map of Kansas - Interactive map showing boundary changes for COUNTY NAME by year *Collection of Digitized Kansas Maps - Wichita State University Libraries *David Rumsey Map Collection - Historical maps of Kansas

Step 2: Fix Image
1. Change the code of the image map by adding the wikitext: right| directly after the name of the image and the pipe and before the 300 pixels.

2. If the map looks a little small to read, change the size of the image from 300px to 400px. If it looks large enough, do not change the size of the image.

3. If the name of the image is repeated at the end of the image code, you can remove it.
