When using Todo lists, please add them on the '''discussion''' page rather than the main article.

==Creating a List==

:1. Once on the '''discussion''' page, '''Edit''' the page and at the top of the text add a

::<pre>{{Todo}}</pre>

:to the top of the article text. This will create a reference to the list (as you don't actually populate the list on the article page.)

:2. After you have typed this, click the '''Save page''' button. The ''Todo'' list will then become visible on the '''discussion''' page.

:3. Click the '''Edit''' button on the ToDo list. This will create a page for the Todo contents with some default text (basic instructions) on it.

:4. Once you save this article (the contents), it will show up in the Todo list (at the top of the discussion page) and in the [[:Category:ToDo]] list pages.

Don't worry about it showing in the [[:Category:ToDo]] list starting with '''Help talk:''' because it will be sorted into the alphabetical order of the page name (for example, '''A''' for '''Adding Custom Maps''').

==Using the ''Watch'' icon==

You can use the '''Watch''' link at the top of any ''Todo'' list to add the ''Todo'' list to your [[Special:Watchlist]] and track any changes.

== Completing Todo items ==

When completing items, add your name against the item and strike it out. Striking an item out can be achieved by adding <code><nowiki><s></nowiki></code> at the beginning and a <code><nowiki></s></nowiki></code> at the end of the item (see example below). If all the items have been completed, you can then remove the <code><nowiki>{{Todo}}</nowiki></code> from the discussion page.

=== Example ===

<pre>*Add a picture to the article.</pre>

To complete the item, change it to:

<pre>*<s>Add a picture to the article.</s> - Done --~~~~</pre>

Which will show as:

*<s>Add a picture to the article.</s> - Done --USER DATE&TIME.
