Purpose
Adding content to the Latin American parish pages in the English Wiki.

Websites

 * Catholic Hierarchy for histories

Part 1 - Adding Alternate Names
1. To add alternate names, look under column D, "Alt Names". 2. Add the alternate names in bullet form. Each name is separated by a comma on the spreadsheet.

Example:
 * Santo Cristo de Esquipulas de la Agonía
 * Santo Cristo de la Agonía
 * La Agonia (Santo Cristo de Esquipulas)
 * La Agonia
 * Iglesia La Agonia

Part 2 - Adding Histories
1. First copy this sentence and add it under the "History" subheading on the parish page. 

PARISHNAME is in the Diocese of DIOCESENAME within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of San José de Costa Rica. Administratively it is part of the neighborhood of NEIGHBORHOOD, district of DISTRICT, canton of CANTON, and province of PROVINCE.

2. Fill in the information. Diocese name is under column E, "Diocese" Location information is in column B.
 * The location column has the information in reverse order of what is presented below. Some may not have a district or neighborhood. It is okay to fill in just what is on the spreadsheet. Just take out the jurisdictions it doesn't have. 
 * Alajuela, Alajuela, Sarapiquí 
 * Alajuela is the Province, Alajuela is the Canton, and Sarapiquí is the District. 

This example would look like this on the page: 

San Miguel Arcángel is in the Diocese of Ciudad Quesada within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of San José de Costa Rica. Administratively it is part of the district of Sarapiquí, canton of Alajuela, and province of Alajuela.

3. Check Catholic Hierarchy for a history of the parish's diocese (diocese is found in column E).
 * The history or the diocese is under "Historical Summary" and in table format.



4. Copy this sentence and put it after the first sentence you populated. Then add the information from the table to the sentence.

The DIOCESENAME was EVENT on DATE from FORMERDIOCESENAME. Records kept at the parish level likely stayed within the parish, but records made before EVENTYEAR may be housed in another archive depending on how they decided to keep the records.

Here is an example with the information filled in:

The Diocese of Ciudad Quesada was erected 25 July 1995 from the Diocese of Alajuela and the Diocese of Tilarán. Records kept at the parish level often stayed within the parish, but records made before 1995 in a defunct parish may be housed in another diocesan archive depending on how they decided to keep the records.

5. Edit the paragraph as needed to fix grammar.

Parish Tables
Some parishes may have a table that needs to be put under the subheading "Record Availability" after the bullet points. 1. Copy the portion of the task list for the parish that needs a table added to its page. 2. Open the website, Excel2Wiki. 3. Paste in the copied data from the Excel file in the large box on the page. 4. Make sure these four boxes are checked before moving to the next step: 5. Once you have clicked the options, click on the Convert blue button. 7. The program will create wikitext for the table you added. 8. Copy the wikitext found in the box by highlighting the information with your mouse, then holding down the "Ctrl" key and the "C" key once. (Or, left-click on the mouse and select, "Copy") 9. Return to the parish page you wish to put this Excel table and click on the tab, "Edit the source." Then, paste the information into the page under the subheading "Record Availability" after the bullet points 10. Click "Show Preview" and make sure everything looks good. 11. Click "Save Changes" with "Latin America Parish Page Project" as the summary.
 * The parishes that need a table will have a yellow highlight over the columns Record Type, Dates, Historical Records, and Explore Images. It will look like this on the task list:
 * If the parish doesn't need a table, go to the next part "Catalog Parish Records"
 * This example would be for the parish page of Nuestra Señora del Pilar
 * Follow the instructions below on how to turn this portion of the Google Sheet into wikitext
 * Click Format first row as header:
 * Click class="wikitable":
 * Click "sortable"
 * Click "Format first column as header"

Example of what it will look like on the page:

Catalog Parish Records
1. Click on the Court Records Catalog entry link to display the records listings. It should look something like this:

2. Select the first record.

3. Scroll down to the Film/Digital Notes section and look for a camera icon on the right of the note.
 * There may or may not be a key over the camera icon. We will use them both.


 * A camera icon on its own means that it can be viewed from anywhere on a computer or mobile device.
 * A camera icon with a key means that it can only be viewed on a computer in a FHC or affiliate library.
 * In either case, we will be using the (*) code to make sure all patrons understand they may need to be at a FHC to view the records.
 * Another record type we will use is "Available Online." Here is an example:



4. Copy the template below and paste it to the Court Records section of the County page:


 * * DATE-DATE (*); ADD NAME OF COURT HERE at FamilySearch Catalog — images

5. Add the dates. Copy them exactly from the title. It is not necessary to look for dates if they are not in the title. Leave the dates blank, if that is the case.
 * Sometimes there will be two sets of dates such as "Probate Records 1857-1952; Index, 1857-1965"
 * In the first date slot place the earliest date (DATE-DATE). So 1857 would go in the first slot (1857-DATE)
 * In the second date slot place the latest date (1857-1965)

EXAMPLE:
 * (with dates) * 1907-1924 (*); ADD NAME OF COURT HERE at FamilySearch Catalog — images
 * (without dates) * (*); ADD NAME OF COURT HERE at FamilySearch Catalog — images

6. Next add the title #. Using the image below, look for the inverted V over the URL line.
 * The title number is obtained from the URL line. As you read across the URL, it will start off with familysearch.org/search/catalog/######? plus more characters.
 * The title number is the number immediately after the word catalog/ and before the ?
 * Copy just the number from the URL line and place it where it says title #



EXAMPLE:
 * * 1907-1924 (*); ADD NAME OF COURT HERE at FamilySearch Catalog — images

7. Leave the item part as-is.

5. After the disp=, place the title of the film exactly as written except capitalize the first letters in the title. No need to add author or anything else.

EXAMPLE:
 * * 1907-1924 (*); ADD NAME OF COURT HERE at FamilySearch Catalog — images

8. It is important that the users know which court authored the information. See the image above and find the Authors line.
 * You only need to add the Main Author.
 * You will see the line that says "Adair County (Iowa). Clerk of the District Court (Main Author)"
 * You DO NOT need to add the county or state.
 * Just add the Court information.
 * Replace ADD NAME OF COURT HERE with the actual name of the court after the semicolon . In this case it is Clerk of the District Court.

EXAMPLE:
 * * 1907-1924 (*); Clerk of the District Court at FamilySearch Catalog — images


 * Sometimes there will be two or more courts included.

EXAMPLE:
 * * 1828-1947 (*); County and Probate Court at FamilySearch Catalog — images

9. If the word Index is in the title, please change the "— images" at the end of the line to say "— index & images."

10. And it should look like this when previewed:

EXAMPLE:
 * 1907-1924 (*); Clerk of the District Court at FamilySearch Catalog — index & images
