Project
Currently, on the Wiki, there are several pages containing bullet-point lists of Civil War ships or regiments. To make these lists easier to read, look at, and to find, we are inputting the information into tables. The following will primarily be a copy and paste project

Step 1

 * Sandbox page for Confederate Ships A-F Current Wiki page for ships A-F
 * Sandbox page for Confederate Ships G-L Current Wiki page ships G-L
 * Sandbox page for Confederate Ships M-R Current Wiki page for ships M-R
 * Confederate Ships S-Y Current Wiki page for ships S-Y


 * Sandbox page for Union Ships A-B Current Wiki page for ships A-B
 * Sandbox for Union Ships C-D Current Wiki page for ships C-D

Confederate Ships task list Union Ships task list

Decide which task list you want to work on, put your name down, and then open up a blank sandbox in another tab. Open in the Edit Source, and create a section at the top for what letter you're working on: you do this by typing in ==A==  and then copy the following code below the new section heading:

and then save your page.

Step 2
Go to the task list, and open up the wiki page you are going to be transferring to the table; these are listed in the task list. In your sandbox page, click the edit source next to the table, and enter in the information from the bullet point list on the wiki page in the applicable spot. It should look like this when done. |- When you have entered the information in for the first one, copy and paste in the following code for however many other entries you will be adding. You will paste the following code in after each entry, and then fill it in with the information as in the example above. |- and before the |} You can copy over as many as you'll need at once or do it one at a time after entering in the information for the previous entry.

You will do the same thing until you're done with the list. Below is an example of what several entries should look like:

When you're finished with the list, message Janae and send a link to the sandbox
