Known issues in FamilySearch Wiki are reported below, with the most recent at the top of the list:  

== Right hand navigation sidebar displayed below main content  ==

:::Hi Mark, I have edited the {{tl|resolved}} flag to explain that the solution is only a workaround for the problem. A solution to fix the problem happening I believe would involve improvements to the Rich Text Editor. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 15:25, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

== Migration to LDS Account  ==

[https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/User:StringhamDB StringhamDB] That is correct. The Research Wiki's timeout is set at 45 minutes but since the change to CIS authentication we are limited to 24 minutes. This issue needs to be set with a high priority on the Research Wiki backlog.  

{{resolved}} Users that are browsing a page in the Special namespace are not returned to that page after they have signed on.  

'''01-08-2010''' A fix for this can be tested out at [https://learning.fsbeta.familysearch.org/ Research Wiki Beta]  

{{Resolved}}Several users have reported that they had not been able to successfully combine their old accounts with their new LDS Accounts. This resulted in a loss of their watchlist notifications and their old edits not being shown against their new account.  

{{unresolved}}This is still a problem if the user name includes spaces " " or underscores "_".  

{{Resolved}}  

Some users have reported being unable to sign-in using Internet Explorer 8. When clicking on wither of the sign-in links on the home page, the new sign-in page does not come up. In fact, nothing happens. A work-around is to place&nbsp;a short-cut on your desk-top, which takes the user to the new sign-in page from which the user can then sign-in.  

== Linking to GNIS (Geographic Names Information Systems)  ==

Hopefully this resolve the issue of proper linking. [[User:Dsammy|dsammy]]  

== Strange Characters Automatically Added During Edits  ==

This bug has been traced back to the ''Browser Highlighter'' Firefox plug-in. See the thread [http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=hu&comments_parentId=343800&forumId=1 Weird gwProxy code is inserted in WYSIWYG textareas] from the Mozilla support forum. Removing the offending add-on in Firefox should fix the problem.  

== Help Copying  ==

:The MediaWiki Help pages that are relevant in the Research Wiki were copied to in April 2010. This included [[Help:Contents]]. Many of them include a notice {{tl|PD Help Page}} at the top to indicate that they have been copied over. Once they have been checked and updated to tie in with the Research Wiki this header template can be removed --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 11:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

The article [[Uploading files or images|Uploading files or images]] has minimal information. We need additional instructions.

== Look and feel and navigation  ==

This page was created when the content in Plone was ported over to the Wiki. Some concerns were raised dealing with the look and feel of the new home for content and also the navigation. The concerns at the time have been resolved. See the discussion that took place at [[FamilySearch Wiki talk:Look and feel and navigation|Talk:Look and feel and navigation]]. This page is currently categorized as FamilySearch Wiki, but likely needs a new category related to the ongoing development of the design and navigation of wiki content.
