WikiProject Germans In America Wiki Project Germans in America - Fix County Headings

Description
This task involves 3 parts. They involve updating the headings in a county structure to make them more uniform for CA, WI, OH, IL, and PA.

Instruction
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: if the structure of the county page is vastly different from the others, please make a note of the county and move on to the next county. You do not need to edit it. Then submit the list of counties to Danielle. She will make the necessary adjustments. (examples: Orange County or Alemeda County, California. or Marinette County, Wisconsin)

PART A
1. Log into the wiki. 2. Go to the state you are working on (example, California). From the State page, click on the first county in the alphabetical list of counties.

3. When you are on the county page, review the county page table of contents.

4. In wikitext, change "Quick Facts" to "Historical Facts" NOTE: for Wisconsin, you will be changing the heading "History" located above Places/Localities to "Historical Facts"

5. Make sure "Historical Facts" remains in same heading number as before (the same as the "Resources" heading).

6. Go to PART B below

PART B
1. Within the same county, review the table of contents to see what is listed under the "Resources" heading.

2. Using the list below, insert any missing headings in alphabetic order in the appropriate heading (headings 3 or 4) as compared to other headings.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN!


 * Make sure you are in wikitext
 * You will not be able to paste the whole list on the page, because many headings are already added. This list is to make sure that all of these headings are included on each county page.
 * You may also rename a heading if it does not match those in the list. For example, if the heading on the county page is "Court," you may change it to "Court Records" to make it consistant with other county pages.
 * If there are additional headings not on this list, leave them there. Do not erase the heading or the information. If there is a variation of the heading, change it to the correct heading from below.

HEADINGS 3 and 4 === Bible Records ===   === Biography ===   === Cemeteries ===   === Census ===   === Church History and Records ===   === Court Records ===   === Crime and Criminals ===   === Directories ===   === Ethnic, Political, or Religious Groups ===   ==== Germans ====   === Gazetteers ===   === Genealogy ===   === History ===   === Land and Property ===   === Maps ===   === Migration ===   === Military History and Records ===   === Naturalization and Citizenship ===   === Newspapers ===   === Obituaries ===   === Periodicals ===   === Probate Records ===   === Societies ===   === Taxation ===   === Vital Records ===   ==== Birth ====   ==== Marriage ====   ==== Divorce ====   ==== Death ====   === Voting Registers ===

HEADINGS 4 and 5 ==== Bible Records ====   ==== Biography ====   ==== Cemeteries ====   ==== Census ====   ==== Church History and Records ====   ==== Court Records ====   ==== Crime and Criminals ====   ==== Directories ====   ==== Ethnic, Political, or Religious Groups ====   ===== Germans =====   ==== Gazetteers ====   ==== Genealogy ====   ==== History ====   ==== Land and Property ====   ==== Maps ====   ==== Migration ====   ==== Military History and Records ====   ==== Naturalization and Citizenship ====   ==== Newspapers ====   ==== Obituaries ====   ==== Periodicals ====   ==== Probate Records ====   ==== Societies ====   ==== Taxation ====   ==== Vital Records ====   ===== Birth =====   ===== Marriage =====   ===== Divorce =====   ===== Death =====   ==== Voting Registers ====

2. Go to PART C below

PART C
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: if the structure of the county page is vastly different from the others, please make a note of the county and move on to the next county. You do not need to edit it. Then submit the list of counties to Danielle. She will make the necessary adjustments. (examples: Orange County or Alemeda County, California. or Marinette County, Wisconsin)

1. Within in the same county, add the following 4 headings directly under "Probate Records" ("Probate Records" and "Repositories" should be the same heading number):

Headings 3 and 4 === Repositories ===   ==== Archives, Libraries and Museums ====   ==== County Courthouse ====   ==== Family History Centers ====

Headings 4 and 5 ==== Repositories ====   ===== Archives, Libraries and Museums =====   ===== County Courthouse =====   ===== Family History Centers =====

2. Now locate the information regarding archives, libraries, museums, county courthouse and family history libraries on the page.

NOTE:


 * For California some of the information is under "Societies, Libraries, and Museums." Cut the information from this section that applies (leaving the Society info where it is).
 * For Wisconsin, library information may be listed under "Societies and Libraries." Cut the information from this section that applies (leaving the Society info where it is).

3. In wikitext, cut the information from each corresponding heading and put it in the new headings you just added.

4. Go back and erase extra headings from the county page. You will probably make the following changes once the information is moved:


 * Erase "County Courthouse" (from the top of the page, the top should now start with Historical Facts). All of the information - if there is any - should be put under "County Courthouse" under "Repositories."
 * "Achives and Libraries" should no longer be a heading at the top (directly under "Resources"). It should be erased and the information put under "Archives, Libraries and Museums" under "Repositories."
 * For California: when applicable, change the "Societies, Libraries and Museums" heading to just "Societies" and move it up to a higher heading number. It will be either a heading 3 or 4 and should match the other headings under "Resources."
 * For Wisconsin: when applicable, change the "Societies and Libraries" heading to just "Societies" and move it up to a higher heading number. It will be either a heading 3 or 4 and should match the other headings under "Resources."

5. Once you are finished, add the following in the summary just above the "save page" button at the bottom of the page: Added headings

SHORTCUT: you may want to type in "Added headings" the first time you save. For the next time you save, if you type the letter a, the wiki will suggest "Added headings." You can then click on it and it will put it in the summary for you saving you the cut and paste option above.

6. Now save the page.

7. Return to the top of the page and click on the state name in the bread crumb trail.

8. While on the state page, choose the next county on the list and go to beginning of this task and start at Part A, number 3.
