FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Pennsylvania/Tasks-Fix County headings

WikiProject Pennsylvania Progress Chart  Wiki Project Pennsyvania - Fix County headings

Description
This task involves 4 parts. They involve updating the headings in a county structure to make them more uniform for Pennsylvania.

PART A
1. Log into the wiki.

2. Go to Pennsylvania. From this page, click on the first county in the alphabetical list of counties.

3. When you are on the county page, review the county page table of contents.

4. For now, ignore the heading, "County Courthouse."

5. In wikitext, change the next heading, "History" to "Historical Facts."

6. Make sure "Historical Facts" remains in same heading number as before (the same as the "Resources" heading).

7. Under "Places/Localities" in wikitext cut "Neighboring Counties" and all of the information under it and paste it directly under "Boundary Changes" (located under the heading "Historical Facts.") This pushes the heading "Record Loss" down. "Neighboring Counties" should be the same heading as "Boundary Changes."

8. If there is nothing under the heading "Record Loss", delete it.

9. If there is info under the heading, "Records Loss" leave it there. It should be directly under the Boundary Changes heading.

10. Go down to the bottom of the screen and add an edit summary of "fixing headings" and save the page.

11. Go to Part B.

PART B
1. Edit the page and in wikitext, change the heading "Places/Localities" to just "Places."

2. Now cut the section starting with "Places/Localities" and everything under it. ("Neighboring Counties" should have been moved in Part A above.)

3. Go to the end of the page and paste this section just above the heading "References"

4. Make sure "Places" remains in same heading number as before (the same as the "Resources" heading).

5. Go down to the bottom of the screen and add an edit summary of "fixing headings" and save the page.

6. Go to Part C.

PART C
1. Within the same county, review the table of contents to see what is listed under the "Resources" heading.

2. Using the list below, insert any missing headings in alphabetic order in the appropriate heading (headings 3 or 4) as compared to other headings.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN!


 * Make sure you are in wikitext
 * You will not be able to paste the whole list on the page, because many headings are already added. This list is to make sure that all of these headings are included on each county page.
 * You may also rename a heading if it does not match those in the list. For example, if the heading on the county page is "Court," you may change it to "Court Records" to make it consistant with other county pages.
 * If there are additional headings not on this list, leave them there. Do not erase the heading or the information. If there is a variation of the heading, change it to the correct heading from below.
