No Breadcrumb on the Wiki Page?

 * If the page does not have a breadcrumb: Please list the page and link to the page here.

Instructions
There are various instructions and additional instructions for different pages in the wiki. The Instructions for U.S. County pages includes general instructions. Additional instructions will be added for any pages that need exceptions to what is already listed. Below is a list of all instructions:

Instructions For Brazil Municipalities Pages
1. Go to the Task List snd sign up for state and a span of counties in that state to work on.

2. Copy the following template: == Descrição ==

3. Go to the first wiki page you are to fix and click on “Edit Source” to go to wikitext.

4. Go to the very top of the wiki page and paste the template copied from above. It should be above the breadcrumb that is already on the page.

5. Now copy the first part of the breadcrumb already on the page and paste that link directly after “|link1=”  If you were working on a Brazil Municipality page, this should be the page for Brasil.

6. Go back to the original breadcrumb on the page, and copy the second link of the old breadcrumb.

7. Go back to the new template and paste the link directly after “|link2=” If you were working on a Brazil Municipality page, this should be the link for the Brazilian state.

8. Continue to do this for all the supporting pages in the breadcrumb. Most of the time there are only 2 links before the name of the page (Brasil - Acre - Acrelândia). For some countries, there are 3 links before the name of the page (such as an English parish page).

9. For the last part of the breadcrumb, type in the name of the municipality directly after “ | link5= ”. For example, if the municipality is Acrelândia, Acre, type in Acrelândia. Do not include the word "genealogy" after the name of the page. If it is a really long page, you can abbreviate to just the basic information of the page. For example, for the page, Felling Christ Church, Durham Genealogy, you would only put: Felling Christ Church.

10. Once the breadcrumb is created, go to the bottom of the page and click on "Show preview". Check the top of the page to make sure the new breadcrumb looks correct. It should look like this:

Wikitext example: == Descrição ==

11. If the breadcrumb looks correct, go back to the top of the page and delete the old breadcrumb. Be careful not to delete anything else on the page.

12. In the Edit Summary field, type in: Brazil Breadcrumb Project and save the page.

13. Return to the task list and go to the next wiki page on your list.

SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER:
 * The breadcrumb should never include the word Genealogy on the page. If the old breadcrumb lists "Genealogia" change the link so that just the locality appears in the breadcrumb.  For example you would change the old link, Acre, Brasil - Genealogia to Acre '''
 * For Municipalities, you should never list "América do Sul" as the first breadcrumb. It should start with Brasil.
 * The subheading "Descrição" is being added so that the description at the top of the page will go under the table of contents. If the page does not have a description at the top of the page, you can delete the == Descrição == part of the code off the end of the breadcrumb.

Examples
Municipality page: Acrelândia, Acre - Genealogia

Instructions For Brazil State Pages
1. Sign up for a span of states on the Task List to update the breadcrumb by going to the Task List

2. Use the instructions from Instructions For Brazil Municipalities Pages above to add the breadcrumb template and add the correct links to the template. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRAZIL STATE PAGES:
 * Sidebar Template: Make sure the sidebar template is directly after the breadcrumb code. (This helps the sidebar go to the very top of the page). See example below.
 * The breadcrumb that shows on the Wiki page should never include "Genealogy"; always take it out of the second half of the pipe. If the old breadcrumb lists "genealogy" change the link so that just the locality appears in the breadcrumb. For example, you would change the old link, United States Genealogy, to United States '''
 * For state pages, you should never list "South America" as the first breadcrumb. It should start with Brasil.
 * There will only be Brasil as the link before the state.
 * The state pages all have an image code following the old breadcrumb code. Make sure you do not delete this code and to let it follow the new breadcrumb code you put in.
