=== Overall Objectives  ===


The purpose of the Wyoming Wiki Project is to help readers find and use Wyoming resources and records for genealogy and family history. The project will update and improve:
== Purpose ==


*Wyoming county pages. Example [[Crook County, Wyoming|Crook Wyoming]]
To increase valuable content on the Wyoming pages.
*[[Wyoming|Wyoming]] main page.
*Statewide topic pages. Example [[Wyoming Vital Records|Wyoming]]
*Other Wyoming-related pages


=== Guiding Principles  ===


*'''Highlight important and relevant items'''. Long lists of every website or every publication would bury, rather than highlight, what's important.
== Contact ==


*'''Tell readers what to expect''' when they follow a link or search a suggested record.
[[User:Caileigholdroyd|Caileigh Oldroyd]]


*'''Balance content''' with these four factors in mind:
