Ozarkapedia:Example:River Access

Intro

This page will walk you through creating a new Category:River Acces that looks great. I use this page as a starting point for all of the accesses that I create.

The way it works is that you use this "Template" thing, and fill it out like a form at the doctors office. That will set up the Infobox, and also get the access ready to be included in maps. If you do nothing else but fill out the template, you've made Ozarkapedia better!

1. On this page, copy the text in the Template section below.
2. "Search Ozarkapedia" at the top of the page for the river access you want to create
3. The result will probably be empty, and the result page will contain a link to create that page. Click the link.
4. Click the pencil in the upper right of the screen and ensure that you are Source Editing
5. Paste the template into the big text box
6. Start at the top and edit all the values to contain the correct data for the new access you are adding.
7. When you get to the bottom of the text, click Save Page at the bottom of the screen.
8. You will be prompted to pass a captcha - type 'aidepakrazo' in the little box at the top of the screen and press enter.
9. You are done! You can continue to Edit the page further, or move on to something else.

===Description===
Give folks a little something about this access. 

Sometimes there are multiple accesses at a site, and on those occasions it's nice to display a little map of the stuff folks should consider.

{{#display_map:
37.077816,-91.736355~Main Parking~Large gravel area for parking;
37.076545,-91.732235~Culvert access~This area is better for launching when the culvert is blocked, but there's not much parking.
