 * I don't know how much you know about how templates work, but in case you don't know, the effect of the template was that if you typed "", that would appear on the page as "Sixteenth Census of the United States: 1940, State of Iowa, Marshall County, St. Anthony Township, Enumerated by Julia G. Lyons (Enumerator) on May 3, 1940, Sheet NO. 3 A". In other words, it would simply give an editor the option of typing an extra "" which would make no difference to the page in which they posted it. Not very helpful. JBW (talk) 18:38, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
