*Kansas county pages. Example [[Allen County, Kansas|Allen Kansas]]
*[[Kansas|Kansas]] main page.
*Statewide topic pages. Example [[Kansas Vital Records|Kansas]]
*Other Kansas-related pages


=== Guiding Principles  ===

*'''Highlight important and relevant items'''. Long lists of every website or every publication would bury, rather than highlight, what's important.
[[User:Batsondl|Danielle]]


*'''Tell readers what to expect''' when they follow a link or search a suggested record.
== Task List ==
[[FamilySearch_Wiki:WikiProject Kansas Task List|Task List]]


*'''Balance content''' with these four factors in mind:
