:I think that this is a good idea. I have made some changes to the template today, including adding some content to the /doc page that explains how this combined template can be used. One of the main changes is to state how the template can be [[FamilySearch Wiki: | I'm not sure this is the right way to create the template for the society pages. I've added the society info box template to this content template so the users only have to use one template for the page. Is this the right way to do it, or is there a better way? --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 03:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC) | ||

One of the main changes is to state how the template can be [[FamilySearch Wiki:Substituted|substituted]] and I've added wikicode so that the help/tips are shown here in the template and then as comments in the new page when created by substitution. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 12:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Wrap content around info box == | == Wrap content around info box == | ||
With the two templates combined into one, is there a way to wrap the text from the content template around the info box. I've removed the table of contents in this template, but if the societies would like to use the table of contents, we need to design the page so both the TofC and the info box fits nicely on the page and easy enough for society members to create. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 03:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC) | With the two templates combined into one, is there a way to wrap the text from the content template around the info box.

:Flip Benefit and history headings, changing history heading size to 3 and you got it made. Heading size 1 and 2 lock the bars full width.

::As [[User:Dsammy|dsammy]] pointed out the biggest obstacle to content wrapping is the built-in formatting of the headers. It would help if the style for all the headings included '''"width: auto;"''' | ::As [[User:Dsammy|dsammy]] pointed out the biggest obstacle to content wrapping is the built-in formatting of the headers.

::Also in talking about headings, my opinion is that heading 1, as the style of the article heading, should not be used within articles themselves. I think that heading 2 and 3 are too similar in style. I've looked at the CSS and heading 2 is 24px and heading 3 is 21px so there is a difference of 3px or 14%. However if for example the style '''"border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA;"''' was added to heading 2 it would help distinguish between the two --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 16:45, 12 August 2010 (UTC) | ::Also in talking about headings, my opinion is that heading 1, as the style of the article heading, should not be used within articles themselves.

I expect that most societies will use the rich editor to create their new society wiki page. I have added the Societies template to a new page for the [[Daughters of Utah Pioneers]] and in rich editor mode, I don't see how I can edit the info box. Even in wikicode, I don't see an easy way to edit the info box on the DUP page. i may have caused the problem by adding the example text on the template itself. The info box used to be a simple box of text headers followed by the equal sign, now I see a lot of 'noinclue' codes. We can remove the example text if that will allow the temple to be a simple list of titles. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 18:06, 12 August 2010 (UTC) | I expect that most societies will use the rich editor to create their new society wiki page.

:OK, I can understand why that doesn't work for the infobox. I have change the template so that the infobox example is shown in this template, but that the template is clear from value when substituted. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 18:38, 12 August 2010 (UTC) | :OK, I can understand why that doesn't work for the infobox.

== Difficult template to use == | |||
Darin has tried creating society pages so he could be familiar with the process before going to FGS next week. He is finding the template hard to use and has not been successful in creating a page with content. Can the template with suggested content under each heading be on the documentation page and the template itself only have the headings and no hidden content. I think what's happening is they click on the edit to open the whole page in edit mode and somehow the headings disappear and the hidden text shows up. The two practice pages are: [[Benjamin Franklin Johnson Family Organization]] and [[Arizona State Genealogical Society]]. I'm sure most people will add the template and edit the page while in the rich editor. So, the instructions need to explain the process from that perspective. Any suggestions? --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 06:14, 14 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
