*'''Paid site notification.''' Manual of Style guideline for paid sites is ambiguous concerning how to apply it. Thus it is applied inconsistently. Application should be clarified, and perhaps applied with a template to insure consistency.[[FamilySearch Wiki:Manual of Style#.22For_pay.22_web_sites|See guideline 9.2.3]]
:*
*Change guidelines to indicate that text "paid service" or "fee site" could be used in place of the $ sign or in addition to it?  Or - at least on the first instance on the page.  The $ sign could be used in tables, with a note at the bottom  to indicate that there would be a fee.  For text, "paid service" could be added to the $ sign.  Add a note that if the currency would be in a foreign currency, the $ sign might be left out or replaced by the sign for that country.  The $ sign could also be replaced by the word, "(pay)" or "fee".
*Ken will put together specific wording that we can discuss next week!
 
*'''Discussion/Talk Page confusion'''. The template re translating an article to non-english has a statement "Please add any comments to the talk page." This can be confusing to some, since we have no talk pages–They are discussion page. Inconsistencies like this confuse some and make us look foolish to others. What about using the phrase “Talk/Discussion?” Wikipedia uses “talk” so we probably need to keep that word. See the following for policy (note the inconsistency between them):<br>  [[FamilySearch Wiki:Talk page guidelines|FamilySearch Wiki:Talk page guidelines]]<br>  [[Help:Discussion Pages (Talk Pages)|Help:Discussion Pages (Talk Pages) ]]
*Should the template be changed?
*We will ask tech people about changing the "Discussion" tab to "Talk"
*Why are we clearing out Portals?  - Search engine problems and editing the pages was very difficult.  They were hard to maintain.  The search engines wouldn't show the whole page, only specific parts (sub-pages) of the page.
