[[Help:Naming conventions|Help:Naming conventions]] was created before we had the Manual of Style. It was also created "back in the day" when we discussed stylistic items in User Group meeting (Community Meeting) to reach consensus. Since Help:Naming Conventions deals with style more than instructions, I'm thinking it should be added to the FamilySearch Wiki namespace. I also wonder which (if any) of the conventions on Help:Naming Conventions deserves to be added to the Manual of Style or this discussion page.

It would be helpful to have some guidelines established for large projects, such as the pages created for US state or county pages. I'm thinking specifically of the England probate registers project that includes a page for each of the 40 counties. It's user-friendly to have the same "look and feel", including the heading and subheading styles.

I think it would be easiest to piggyback of what other wikis have done. People who begin contributing may already be used to these conventions. For example, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Wikipedia Manual of Style] gives some great ideas on what our conventions should be. Perhaps we lift from there and then change things as it becomes necessary to do so. --[[User:Gregorybean|Gregorybean]] 02:16, 20 October 2009 (UTC) | I think it would be easiest to piggyback of what other wikis have done.
