User:AdkinsWH/Sandbox Church Units

In Utah, so many LDS Church records exist in counties, the WikiProject Utah team decided to do a community approach, rather than individual congregations. (Meetings 9/12 and 9/26/2012)

The purpose of this page is to make it easy to copy and adapt the "pattern" developed by the team to each of the communities. The "pattern" itself is located on the Discussion page.)

Step 1. Copy the pattern without changing it
A) Click the Discussion tab at the top of the page B) Click the "Edit This Page" button. C) Select Wikitext D) Highlight (Ctrl+A) and copy (Ctrl+C) E) Cancel edit

Step 2. Paste the pattern to an empty page
A) On the county page, go to Church Records topic B) Click a red (inactive) link -- under the "Church of Jesus Christ..." heading C) In Wikitext, paste the pattern to the empty page D) Type in edit Summary box: "copied pattern" and Save page

Step 3. Adapt the Pattern
A) Breadcrumb trail:
 * Change "Beaver" to the current county (2 instances)
 * Change "Adamsville," to current town with comma

B) Get correct pages from Jenson's Encyclopedic History.
 * Click on the link, search by name of town, scroll down to see page numbers
 * Change p "5-6" to the pages for the town

C) Under "Obtain the Records":
 * Change "Beaver, Adamsville" to current COUNTY, TOWN

D) Below "References" replace (in Category) "Beaver" with current COUNTY

E) Type in the edit Summary box: "adapted to town" and Save page
