If you would like to create a Places Page, please use this page as a guide for formatting.
Step 1: Click on the EDIT tab above.
Step 2: Copy the entire text of this page - some of it doesn't show up when you first view the page!
Step 3: Paste the entire text of this page into a blank word processing document, or Notepad file.
Step 4: Edit out these instructions, and remove the < nowiki > and 
 < /Nowiki >elements.
Step 5: Fill in the various fields.
Step 6: If you are going to upload a map, do so using the 'Upload File' selection in the Toolbox. Copy the file name, and insert it into the appropriate spot in the template.
Step 7: Go to the Places page, and Edit the page. Add the name of the area in the appropriate area, and use the double brackets on either side to make a page link:  [[PlacesName]]
Step 8: Save the edit to the places page. The page you wish to create should now show as a link.  Click on it.
Step 9: Paste in the info you've created using this template. Save your edit.  You're done!
