:I agree with David and have put these two topics back to the beginning of the list. I have also coded them to be in bold text to highlight their importance and infer that they are positioned correctly out of place in a predominately alphabetical list. --[[User:CottrellS|Steve]] 21:17, 1 August 2009 (UTC) | :I agree with David and have put these two topics back to the beginning of the list.

:I have been thinking about this some more and I've mocked up an alternative layout that could be used (see [[User:CottrellS/Sandbox|my sandbox]]). This uses the group function to separate the '''Search Strategies''' and '''Record Selection Table''' articles into their own group. In my example I've given this group a linked label to '''Getting Started'''. Any thoughts? --[[User:CottrellS|Steve]] 16:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
::1. The group approach has a nicer look, but in some cases may take up an extra line if the getting started list combined with the last line of the main list happens to take up less than a full line. Both ways work well for me. 2. There are a few follow-up sections that might be worth listing, such as Other Records, For Further Reading, or Glossary which would traditionally fit at the end of the regular list. Of the three, For Further Reading is by far the most significant. See the [[Jewish Genealogy Research|Jewish Genealogy Research]] example. -- [[User:Diltsgd|Diltsgd]] 14:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
