=Overview= Your task is to take the chart for each country (or for Mexico, each state) in Lyman Platt's book and turn them into charts for each country/state on the Wiki.

You'll create them all in sandbox, then we'll move them to the main wiki once all the tables have been created.

Whenever you work on this project, you will be doing it using Wikitext, which means you will click edit source instead of edit whenever you add information to a page. Wikitext is a little hard to get used to, so use the Wikitext Cheatsheet and the lessons on Wiki University to familiarize yourself with how Wikitext works.

Create A Country Table

 * 1) Make sure you are signed into FamilySearch.
 * 2) On this page, under Resources, open Chart Template in a new tab.
 * 3) On the Chart Template page, on the top-right click edit source
 * 4) Copy the table, starting with the { bracket and ending with the } bracket.
 * 5) On the bottom of the page, press Cancel
 * 6) Return to this page.
 * 7) Under Countries click edit source
 * 8) Type your name next to the first available country on the list. I've already assigned Argentina to Kenya and Bolivia to Cindy.
 * 9) Press Save changes in blue at the bottom of the page.
 * 10) The link to the country will be in red because the page has not yet been created. Click the red link to the country.
 * 11) A new page will open. On the top-right, click create source.
 * 12) Paste the chart into the page. To make sure it copied and pasted correctly, you can press show preview at the bottom of the page. A preview version of the page will appear. Scroll down to return to the edit box.
 * 13) Once you are sure it copied and pasted correctly, press save changes.

Fill In A Country Table
1. From the list of countries, open the one you will be working on. Notice the link is now blue because you created the page. 2. Press edit source on the top-right of the page. 3. Begin to fill in information from the book. 4. Fill in the information as needed, with the following adjustments to the Access/Reference Section.
 * Because this is a country page, we did not include that column.
 * Locality and Province are in a different order.
 * The year is the same.
 * Reference has been changed to Access.
 * If the reference is a book/article/revista,
 * Try to find a digital copy.

The charts in the book have five columns, we will keep Locality, Province, Year, and Reference, but not the country column because they will already be on the country page. We will change the Resource column to make it more user friendly.
 * 1) Change all the abbreviations to the full title (AAA to Archivo Historico del Ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de Mexico).
 * 2) When a FHL microfilm is listed, put "Family History Library microfilm XXXXX." If you come up with a better idea, communicate with each other to make sure it's the same across all the tables.
 * 3) Link the resource.
 * When linking to a microfilm number, decide between yourselves if you want to link to the catalog entry that lists all the microfilms or directly into the image collection.
 * When a collection is at an archive (not the FHL) and hasn't been digitized as far you can see, link to the contact information page for that archive.
