Step 1: Adding Populated places[edit source] 1. Go to the Populated Places heading on the page and see if it has already been completed.

2. Whether it has been completed or not, go to Wikipedia to either double check the list or add the localities.

3. Copy and paste the following template coding under the Population places header and any other explanation material:

4. To add an item to the list place a bullet before the item and then insert it between the   tags. Then hit "Enter" so the bullets are up against the left edge of the page. Here is an example:

| cities-col1=
 * Chamberlain

5. If there is more than one item in a column, it should look it this:

| cities-col1= *Chamberlain *Gann Valley *Gann Valley

6. If there are already items listed under Population places put them into the appropriate columns.

7. We are doing away with the 🇨🇴 as it does not work like it should.

8. Instead we will do it manually. First count up the number of items. Then divide the total number items by three. The answer will be the number of items in each column. However, if there is a remainder after you have divided, round up the answer by one. That is the number of items to go into each column.

''Example: Lets say there are 23 items. Dividing 23 by 3 gives answer of 7 with a reminder of 2. Since we have a remainder we will round up the 7 to 8. So there will be 8 items in the first two columns and the remaining items in the last column.''

9. Last step is to erase all the    that have not been used.
