Project
Currently, on the Wiki, there are several pages containing bullet-point lists of Civil War ships or regiments. To make these lists easier to read, look at, and to find, we are inputting the information into tables. The following will primarily be a copy and paste project.

Task Lists

 * Sandbox page for Confederate Ships A-F - Current Wiki page for ships A-F, *YOUR NAME*
 * Sandbox page for Confederate Ships G-L - Current Wiki page ships G-L, *YOUR NAME*
 * Sandbox page for Confederate Ships M-R - Current Wiki page for ships M-R *YOUR NAME*
 * Sandbox page for Confederate Ships S-Y - Current Wiki page for ships S-Y *YOUR NAME*


 * Sandbox page for Union Ships A-B - Current Wiki page for ships A-B *YOUR NAME*
 * Sandbox for Union Ships C-D - Current Wiki page for ships C-D *YOUR NAME*
 * Sandbox for Union Ships E-G - Current Wiki page for ships E-G *YOUR NAME*
 * Sandbox for Union Ships H-L - Current Wiki page for ships H-L *YOUR NAME*
 * Sandbox for Union Ships M-N - Current Wiki page for ships M-N *YOUR NAME*

Step 1
Decide which list you would like to work on and open up the corresponding sandbox and current wiki page. Click "edit" next to the Task Lists section on this page, and replace *YOUR NAME* with you name, and then save. This will help prevent people working on top of each other.

Step 2
On the "current Wiki page" you will see that under the bullet point lists of the ships, there is included the name of the ship, dates, what type of ship it was, and other information. On the sandbox page, click the "edit" button next to the section you'll be working on. Type in the information from the bullet point list in the appropriate spot on the table in the sandbox page. If you find any misspellings while doing so, PLEASE feel free to fix them. Most of the ships have a URL link attached to a pg. number or description, just copy and paste the blue words into the appropriate box, the link should carry over, however, double check to make sure it worked. The table should look like this when done: As can be seen in this example, some ships won't have all the information filled in. It's okay to leave a box blank. If there is additional information about a ship, that is not about a name change, or dates, put it in the "etc." box.

Step 3
Add the information for the entire list. If you end up not having enough rows, send me a message at janae.brown@familysearch.org, and I'll add another row. When you have completed a list/table, change your name in the "Task Lists" to say "Done". DON'T FORGET to SAVE YOUR WORK!

Thanks so much for your help!
