FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Chile Province Pages to English

Purpose
We've done a lot of editing to the Chile locality pages in the Spanish Wiki, but we unfortunately do not have those available in the English Wiki yet. This project will add the content from the Spanish Wiki pages, translate them into English, and make them also available to English speakers.

Task List

Step 1 - Open Chile in Spanish and English
1. Open both the page for Chile in English and the page for Chile in Spanish. 2. Scroll down to the Map of Chile section on each page. Notice that on the English Wiki, the Provinces are all red links. Those are pages that have yet to be created. 3. Choose the top Province in English that has a red link, and click on it. It will open a new, blank Wiki page. 4. Open the same respective page in the Spanish Wiki in a separate tab/window.

Step 2 - Organize Place Names
5. Copy the following code and paste into the blank English Wiki page:




 * ==History==
 * * HISTORY
 * * HISTORY
 * * HISTORY


 * ==Comunas==


 * {| style="border:0; width:45%"
 * | style="vertical-align:top"|
 * *COMUNA NAME
 * *COMUNA NAME
 * *COMUNA NAME
 * *COMUNA NAME
 * *COMUNA NAME
 * |}
 * |}


 * ==Parish Records==
 * *See comunas


 * ==Civil Records==
 * *See comunas


 * ==References==



Step 3 - Edit Code
6. Replace the words in all caps with their respective term. 7. For the History section, copy the text for each Spanish bullet point and put it in Google Translate. 8. For the Reference in the History section, make sure to keep the Spanish Wikipedia article name and link with their original name. 9. When editing the Comunas, copy the Comuna name from the Spanish Wiki page right into the English Wiki. Make sure any diacritic marks stay the same.
 * e.g. REGION NAME becomes Antofagasta
 * Review the translation and make sure there are no errors.
 * Copy the English Translation and paste it in respective bullet points in the new code.
 * Add and subtract bullet points as needed. Bullet points are created using an asterisk.
 * Translate the visited date into English in an international format (e.g. 27 September 2017).
