Purpose
Many of the locality pages for Latin America were created before we had established a way to format collections in the Manual of Style. This project will consist of correcting the links on the locality pages to match the Manual of Style.

Task List
Task List

Instructions
1. Go to the Task List and add your name to the "Name" column for the page you'd like to check/fix.

2. Click on link to the respective Wiki page to check/fix.

3. Look through the wiki page for links to any collections, including FamilySearch, FS Catalog listings, MyHeritage, Ancestry, Findmypast, etc.
 * Note: If there are no collection links on the page, mark the locality as completed, and continue to the next locality.

4. Refer to the Manual of Style for how to structure the collection listing. (If the phrase "Click on the link to see the records’ availability." exists next to the Catalog links, we will be deleting it).
 * Note: for FamilySearch collections (not FS Catalog collections), make sure to add in the Historical Records article, which is the part of the collection that gives the "How to Use this Collection" link. Instructions for adding the link can be found in steps 11-16 on the HR articles project.

Below are some general collection templates you can copy/paste if they apply: FamilySearch collections *DATES at FamilySearch - How to Use this Collection; index OR index & images Collections from other websites *DATES [COLLECTIONURL COLLECTIONTITLE] at WEBSITENAME - index OR index & images, ($) FS Catalog entries *DATE (*) at FamilySearch Catalog - images

5. For the FS Catalog listings: Inside the template, replace "URLID" with the ID string of numbers that are in the URL (the numbers that follow ".../catalog/" and come before the ? in the URL). Replace "CATALOGTITLE" with the title of the item as it's listed in the Catalog.

6. For some collections, you may need to do a test search in the collection itself to see whether it is strictly an index or whether it is index & images.

7. If the code "" is on the page, delete it.

8. When you have finished checking and fixing all the collection links on the page, add the date to the "Date completed" column on the task list, and continue on to the next page.
