Creating a Colonial Records page
1. First, go to this Google Sheet to see the list of countries that need Colonial Records added to the sidebar. 2. Select the country you want to edit by clicking on it. It will take you to the main topic page for that county in the Research Wiki. 3. Select Edit source. 3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select (edit) right next to the template that looks like this: Template:County-sidebar 4. Scroll until you find the section for Record Types. You should find some coding that looks like this: | colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background: #C8C8C8; font-size:14pt"|Record Types It may not look exactly like this because not all countries have the same topic pages. That's okay, just add Colonial Records where it fit's alphabetically. Since this is for Egypt's colonial records, you will copy this code: *Colonial Records And then paste it under Egypt Civil Registration so that it looks like this: | colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background: #C8C8C8; font-size:14pt"|Record Types (You may have to move one bullet point to the other column so they are even. In this case, we had to move Military Records to the next column.) 5. Select Save changes 6. The link in the sidebar for Colonial Records will be red. Click on the link. 7. Your page will look like this (now you can start editing on this page):

 * Church Records
