* Enter the first pagename in the Search Bar. Example: "13 Hours: The secret soldiers in Benghazi"... this should give you a menu with the top line being bold (select it), and the bottom line saying "containing" (ignore and pick the top line) That will load the page Click the "Edit" Page	* Click the URL https://www.igeek.wiki/wiki/Form:Item In the field type the new file name: 13 Hours: The secret soldiers in Benghazi That will take you to the "Create Item:" page, with fields where you can put informaiton.
* Immediately after <includeonly> is the image block [[Image:13Hours.jpg\|right\|96px]] Copy the Image File Name	* In the Image field, type in "File:" and paste the file name "13Hours.jpg"
* Copy the paragraph after <includeonly> and before </includeonly> do not copy the [[Image:...]] part of that block please	* Paste that in the Summary field.
* If you can, just write a single 1 line summary of the summary paraphraph and put it in the 1Liner field, or use one sentance that seems to be the most relevant. Don't worry too much about this too much, if you I don't like, I can just change it, you've still helped a lot without this. But if if you can quickly sum it up, it can break up the monotony of data entry.	* Summary was: "A documentary by Michael Bay? What is this world coming to? While it seems like an oxymoron, and there was plenty of explosions and some jitter-camera effects, it was more Saving Private Ryan and true to history than anything Oliver Stone or Michael Moore has done, and those are called documentaries. And it was a good motive, and mostly historically accurate based on the people that were there. So worth seeing, if you want to see an action film based on real life events." 1Liner could be: "Mostly historically accurate action film based on real life events. Worth seeing."
* Select and copy everything from after the <noinclude> until the == References == There might a few that don't have the == References == but use {{Ref}} Note: Some of these files will have an image there, some willl have it earlier. If the first thing after the <noinclude> is an image [[Image:13Hours.jpg\|right]], skip that too.	* Paste/replace the body text, with what you just copied NOTE: The body field is the blank box in the center that has <nowiki> {{Show Facts}} {{Show Articles_all}} {{Show People}} {{Show Memes\|[[Category:Memes/Places/Hollywood]]\|Heading=Memes}}{{Linebreak}}</nowiki> -- just replace all that stuff.
* Copy all the links/references. That will be everything before after == References == and before the first [[Category:	* Paste those links in the Links field
* Copy each category (except for "New", if it exists) from the source page Ignore the formatting around the Categrory... so [[Category:Reviews]] defines a category called, "Reviews", just copy the content. So the page startes with three categories [[Category:Reviews]][[Category:Movies]][[Category:Documentaries]] - we only care about the text Reviews, Movies, Documentaries.	* Paste (or type) each category into the Categories field. As you type one, you can press the comma or return to end that category... "Reviews"[return] Will create a little box (with a check at the beginning) that says "x Reviews". That means you did it right.
* Close the Window	* Cick the "Save page" button at the bottom.
