Instructions
1. Open the Task List, and add your name to the Name column for the parishes you want to sign up for.

2. Open the West Sussex, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1936 collection on Ancestry.com.
 * You do not have to be signed in to Ancestry to work on this project.

3. Locate the right-hand side of the collection page in the box called "Browse this collection".

4. Then, click the dropdown for Parish, and check if the parish from the task list appears in the dropdown list of parishes.
 * a. If the parish does appear, put "Yes" in the In collection? column, and continue to step 5.
 * b. If the parish does not appear after the above step a., put "No" in the In collection? and in the Added to wiki page? columns of the task list, and continue on to the next parish.

5. Go to the parish wiki page using the link in the "Parish" column of the Task List.

6. Go to the Church of England heading, and click "Edit source".

7. Look for a section of the table with the following code:  | bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-West Sussex ($) .
 * If this section of the table is not in the table already, continue to step 8.
 * If this section of the table is in the table already, go to step 11.

8. Copy the following code: | bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-West Sussex ($)
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
 * bgcolor="#ffffff" | -
 * bgcolor="#ffffff" | -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8" | -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -

9. Locate the section of the parish table that says  | bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-England & Wales, Birth, Christening, Marriage and Death Indexes ($) , and add one empty line above that section of the table (see the yellow line in the image below). 

10. Paste the code from step 8 into the empty line you just created. (see example of finished code below - the example says "East Sussex" but your code will say "West Sussex")

11. Copy the following code: 1700s-1900s

12. Locate the following line of code in the parish table section under "Ancestry-West Sussex ($)" shown in yellow (it is the first of two in a row that begin with "bgcolor="#ffffff"|" ) 

13. Replace the instance of  -  in that line with the code you copied in step 8. The resulting code should look similar to this:

| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-West Sussex ($)
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
 * bgcolor="#ffffff" | 1700s-1900s
 * bgcolor="#ffffff" | -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8" | -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
