4) SAVE

You will now be able to find your new page easily by clicking on the link in the list of counties..



C) ADDING INFORMATION to your page


1) Return to EDIT mode on your new county page


2) Open another Window and go to the Lancashire POW Photos ON the WIKI page.


Put this into EDIT mode


3) Copy all the coding from the top as far as and including the < br > above *Abram, St John's,


8 wikied.jpg

4) Paste into your new page.


5) SAVE


6) You will see that Lancashire is written three times. Change these now to the County name you require.


7) SAVE


You will notice for Lancashire that the Alphabet running horizontally does not have all the letters; J, V, X and Z are missing. If you have parishes that start with any of these missing letters you will have to add them. eg copy the section of coding for A and paste in space between H and I and change the A's to J.etc,


9 wikied12.jpg

As you can see we already have (County) A under which we can later add all the parishes for A copied from the photos page.

We now need to add the rest of the alphabet underneath.


8) First go to the appropriate County page and see how many letters A-Z you will need, eg for Lancashire there are 22.


9) With your new page in EDIT mode copy the coding that reads:


10 wikied.jpg


10) Paste this underneath 21 times or for however many letters you need.


File:11 wikied1.jpg

11) Starting with line 2, change the three A's to B's.
In the next line change the A's to C's and so on through the letters you require.

There is one anomoly. For some reason unknown to man, when you come to do S you have to put Sa for the third S.

12) SAVE


13) The page is now complete and in Edit mode you can add the parishes that already have photos on the Wiki.

Put a star * before the parish and church name. This will enter each parish/church on a seperate line and look like this:



13 wikied.jpg

If you don't put a star the page will look like this:


Abram, St John's Accrington, St Andrew Accrington, St John
