Part 1: Create Sandbox Page (only need to do this once)
1. A sandbox page is a page you can use to write freely and make alterations. Then when you have completed the page, you can copy and paste the wikitext to the new page. 2. You can make as many sandbox pages as you desire. 3. There is a default Personal Sandbox link on the left navigation menu under, Edit the Wiki. Click on this link, and a new tab will appear with the sandbox page you will be using. 4. Copy the following category to the new sandbox page:

5. Now click on the blue button, Save page. You have create your sandbox page and can begin adding information to this page. 6. This part needs only to be done only once. After transferring the completed information to the new Wiki Tribe page, you reuse this sandbox page for another tribe. 7. If you would like to have two sandbox pages going at the same time, email [mailto:batsondl@familysearch.org Danielle] and she will create additional sandbox pages for you.

Part 2: Adding the Template
1. Once your sandbox page is created, click on the Edit source tab.

2. Copy the wikitext listed below:

3. Paste this information at the top of the Sandbox page. The category, WikiProjects should be below the information you pasted.

4. Click on the blue button, Save page. 5. The template will now be populated and you can begin to add information on the Wiki page.

Part 3: Adding Information
1. Now that the page has been created with the template, click on the Edit source tab again to edit the page.

2. You will now replace anything in ALL CAPS with the information about the Tribe. 3. Fill in only what you can and if you do not have additional information in all headings, just leave it as is. When we create the real tribe page, we will add and fix any necessary information. 4. Once you are done, email [mailto:batsondl@familysearch.org Danielle] the URL to your sandbox page and she will create the tribe page for you.
