*I have created Help Cases concerning the two items as requested last week. I believe these MUST be resolved before too long to avoid many upset people. I have had discussions with people at FamilySearch, but it seems stalled. | *I have created Help Cases concerning the two items as requested last week.

*#FamilySearch is working on a script to change all links to the FHLC to use the {{tl|FHL}} template. They need to decide on default text to display. Also, I believe the script needs to be modified (and I need to change the template) to allow this text to be overridden. Otherwise, I believe that MANY people will be upset that sentences will not make any sense and the text will be gone to correct them. | *#FamilySearch is working on a script to change all links to the FHLC to use the {{tl|FHL}} template.

*#Several thousand hard-coded links to labs, pilot, Record Search, and beta Historical Records exists. As the Record Search goes away, links will probably stop working. When Historical Records comes out of beta, more links will break. The {{tl|RecordSearch}} template was created to take care of this. Another script needs to be created that would be very similar to the one created for the {{tl|FHL}} template. If this is not done, we will eventually have thousands of broken links. | *#Several thousand hard-coded links to labs, pilot, Record Search, and beta Historical Records exists.

**I bring the above subjects up in this meeting in order to hopefully get them unstalled. Others have asked about them in previous meetings and I have put them off indicating that I was hoping to hear back. Still nothing. With my new job, I will not be able to attend many meetings during the day. However, I am still planning on helping, but people may have to contact me instead of talk to me in a meeting.

::I am concerned that placing dialogue about any/all redundant pages under once specific geography would bury it and limit participation (not to mention the fact that the dialogue will, in the end, have much less to do with New York counties than about how to navigate duplicate content issues). How about if we start a forum thread, and link to it from the NY County Creation page? That leaves room for dialogue about New York counties to take center stage on that talk page.

*'''Nathan Murphy's item removed.''' Sorry, I have a counter shift and cannot live my double-life as a Wiki bûcheron this week.
