 == Questions<br>  ==
-Here are the questions we must resolve:<br>
+*Do we start with Heading 2 or Heading 3?
+*Do we restrict heading level in the contents box?
-*Church Records: If we keep Church Records as a heading right under Records and Resources, records of other religions could quickly fill up that part of the taxonomy.&nbsp;Should the Records and Resources section instead have a section called Religious Records, with&nbsp;Church, Synagogue,&nbsp;Mosque, etc. as subheadings?&nbsp;
+*When creating another page because the section is to long, how do we link out to the other page? <br>
-*Ethnic/Religious/Political Groups<br>
-New topics - where do they go?
-*Web albums with photos, etc.
-*Blogs?<br>
-Other questions:
 *How do we highlight "quick finds," what the most popular links/important resources are?
-*Do we restrict heading level in the contents box?
-*When creating another page because the section is to long, how do we link out to the other page?
-*Remove word "Records"? - Court Records, Probate Records
 *Page readability - Indentation of body text and section spacing?<br>
-*Deep linking gives more possibilities for dead links.
+*Deep linking gives more possibilities for dead links. We need a bot that crawls the wiki to automatically identify dead links.
 *Rename Places/Localities<br>

+'''Church Records:'''&nbsp;Keep name of "Church Records" for Christian groups; add additional sections in the list for other religions. At some point in the future, if there are multiple religious records sections, we may revisit bringing these together under a "Religious Records"&nbsp;section. Add cross-referencing to "Ethnic....Groups" when necessary.<br>
+'''Ethnic Groups:''' Heading of this section - "Ethnic, Political, and Religious Groups" &nbsp;&nbsp; List of people should be plural:&nbsp;American Indians,&nbsp;African Americans, etc.<br>

 '''Breadcrumbs:''' Later let’s make a decision on real or manual breadcrumbs.
+'''Blogs: '''Topic-specific blogs should go under the topic that they relate to. General ones should go in the Genealogy section (because they are usually about people and families who lived there).
+'''Images: '''Topic-specific images should go under the section it belongs with; more general ones should go in the History section (because they are usually historically significant).
+'''The word Records:&nbsp;'''Keep it in Church Records, Court Records, and Probate Records.
