Instructions
List of centers by Country

1. Go to the Task List and sign out a Family History Center to work on. First check the English speaking wiki and be sure a page exists for the FHC there. If it does not, add that under Notes section of spreadsheet. If the page does exist, add any information that isn't on it using the instructions below.

2. Add Address: Going back to the spreadsheet listing the FHC name and contact information, copy the address of the FHC. Paste the address behind the bullet in one continuous line replacing the phrase, "(Include information about your center that would be helpful for first time visitors such which entrance in the building to use, parking, etc. Use as many or as few bullet points as needed.)" with the address. Make any adjustments with the address to change any words in all upper case to lower case with the appropriate capitalization and punctuation. Also make sure the address is not italicized by taking out any apostrophes still on the line. See the example below.


 * Wikitext example: * 155 Highway 95 Alternate, Fernley, NV 89048 United States

3. Google Map Link: Create a Google map link to be placed after the word, "Location." Use the following steps:


 * a. Open another window in your browser and go to Google maps http://maps.google.com and enter the address of the FHC into the search box on the upper left side of the page.




 * b. Once you enter the address, a new URL will appear in the URL field. Copy this URL.
 * c. Go back to your FHC page and in the address section, beside the asterisk under "Location Map" address, you will hyperlink to the link you just created on the Google maps page. To create the link in wikitext, add an additional asterisk so there are two listed. Then add a left square bracket left of the asterisk and then paste the url link left of the bracket. After the url link, put a space and type in "Google Map" and then add a right square bracket. Make sure the Google Map link is not bolded or italicized by taking any apostrophes left on the line. See example below.
 * Wikitext example: for a Google Map hyperlink:
 * **Google Map

4. Add Phone Number: Going back to the spreadsheet and copy the complete phone number including country code (if listed) of the FHC. Add the phone number behind the bullet and take out any apostrophes that are left on the line. See example below. If there is no phone number listed, then go to the next number.


 * Wikitext example:
 * *1-775-575-7712

5. E-mail Address: If e-mail address is given, add it here.

6. Add Hours: Going back to the spreadsheet giving the FHC name and contact information, copy the hours that are listed. Add the hours replacing the "(List hours here.)" text by putting two asterisks in front of each day listed with hours.


 * Wikitext example:
 * **Tuesday:7:00pm-9:00pm
 * **Wednesday:7:00pm-9:00pm
 * **Thursday:7:00pm-9:00pm

7. Holiday hours: Add this if it's listed using the instructions in number 6 above.

8. Check Your Work!!! You have finished the task. Add in the Summary field at the bottom of the page, "Added contact info." Once you have saved the page, click on your location map link. If it doesn't work, go back and try number 3 again. Make sure the rest of the information looks correct and make any necessary adjustments.

9. '''Go back to the spreadsheet and put in the date you finished the FHC page. You are done with the task!
