[[Image:Broom icon.png|right]]Welcome to the Wiki Maintenance and Cleanup Project. Everyone is invited to help keep the wiki clean through doing '''maintenance tasks.''' <br>


Maintenance work is a vital part of keeping the Research Wiki user friendly for its researchers. While helping with the maintenance tasks, remember two things:


*Take the appropriate tag(s) off the page when you have completed cleaning an article.
=== General Maintenance and Cleanup ===
*Document what you have done on the article's talk page for the reference of other editors.
 
Be careful to avoid creating more maintenance work through [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Instruction_creep instruction creep]. Organize when you can, but always keep [[The Vision: Why We Built FamilySearch Wiki|the big picture]] in sight: we are here to create a resource for family history researchers. If you wish to contribute to FamilySearch Wiki in ways other than maintenance, please consider some suggestions of [[FamilySearch Wiki:Things you can do|things you can do]].
