How do I write a "How Do I..." Article

The "How Do I..." series of articles are designed to provide new users with some basic, step by step instructions on how to perform a specific task in Gramps. Articles should be targeted to users who are not familiar with Gramps, and may not be familiar to computing in general.

You can create a page with a particular name by using the Search box in the left side bar. The search will try to list articles with all the terms entered. But if there isn't a phrase match to the title, the first option will also offer a red link at the top that would create a page.

Take advantage of the template for How do I... to create a framework for the article. Use MediaWiki's Transclusion (transcribed inclusion) feature by pasting the following line in the new document and saving it. The template will be substituted into the editable workspace.

   {{subst:Template:How_do_I}}
