Familypedia:Model place page

Introduction
This is a standard template based on the current system.

A 'Place' may be an island, a village, a city, a region of a country, or a country itself.

''Place pages are designed to create historical context for individuals featured in G-Wiki articles, and to be a useful resource for genealogists researching in those Places. They are not meant to be clones of Wikipedia pages or be exhaustive histories of each Place.''

''To begin, create a blank place page on which to write your article. You can do this by editing the page at Starting pages and the click on the link you have created.''

When naming Place pages, take care to avoid confusion with Surnames, by including a full Place name, such as Quincy, Massachusetts, rather than Quincy), or Melbourne, Australia, rather than simply Melbourne.

Then, copy-and-paste the entire "You may copy this:" section, below, to the blank article page you’re creating.

''Fill in what you can. Lines or blocks starting with "" are comment sections, and text between them does not show up on the page. Remove the comment tags to make the lines between them visible when you have some information that fits in that section.''

Where you can't find anything to go under a particular heading, leave that heading surrounded by its comment tags, to make it easy for a later editor who can use the heading.

''You may simply delete census data charts that are not relevant to your Place. Some census dates are not included, since data given by individuals in more recent years have not been made available by governments to genealogists. However, charts can certainly be expanded to include other dates and data.''
