{{Policy}} <br> [[Image:Rewrite.png|right|100px|Rewrite.png]] Don’t wait for perfection to enter content. Community monitoring and involvement have been proven to improve content quality. Explain changes you make using the [[Help:Edit summary|summary field]] when saving your [[Help:Editing a Page|edits]].  

All contributions are appreciated. [[FamilySearch Wiki:Avoid Edit Wars|Edit wars]] are not tolerated. If an author feels that another author is targeting their contributions in any way,&nbsp;attempt to open a dialog with the other user on the other person’s talk page to begin an online discussion about the potential problem. In addition, if any Wiki user feels a contributor's efforts are not up to speed, it is best to handle it through the user's [[Help:Talk pages|Talk page]] in a civil way. By following suggestions listed in the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Etiquette Guidelines|etiquette guidelines]] and both the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Dispute Resolution|dispute resolution]] and [[FamilySearch Wiki:Civility and Polite Discourse|civility and polite discourse]] policies, most edit wars and civility issues can be resolved between users.  

=== The "Inuse" Template  ===

 

The {{tl|Inuse}} template can be used by authors who are currently editing an existing page. See the '''[[:Category:Inuse|Inuse Category page]]'''&nbsp;for instructions on how to add the template to a page. By adding the Inuse template authors will help avoid edit wars. The Inuse template should only be left on a page for a 24-72 hour time period. Authors should avoid editing pages when another author has added the Inuse template to the page. Understanding the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Civility and Polite Discourse|civility and polite discourse]] policy and also the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Etiquette Guidelines|etiquette guidelines]] will benefit all authors and users of the FamilySearch Research Wiki.
