:*[[FamilySearch Wiki:Stub|Let's talk about stubs...]] | :*[[FamilySearch Wiki:Stub|Let's talk about stubs...]] [[User talk:Gbo17#Removal_of_stubs|This post]] on a user's talk page raised some questions about whether there were guidelines that were discussed but never added to the wiki about stub pages. -- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]}} 21:26, 4 October 2011 (UTC) | ||

:::*A new name to make it more clear (Steve cautions against renaming because of how much needs to be changed if we change that name) | |||
:::*A call out to contributors that might be interested in helping to expand stubs (Community Center) | |||
:::*More defined process to help people know what is/is not a stub article (or does it stay as "use your best judgment"? There could be such a variety of options, people like the latter option) | |||
:::Rorie, Jane, and Ken volunteered to take this on. Thanks! | |||

:*When we copy a title from the FamilySearch Catalog it copies with only a capital on the first word. To make the citiation correct, should we edit the title to reflect conventional title capitalization?[[User:McBrideLW|McBrideLW]] | |||
::The answer the community came to is that the citation titles should be capitalized based on the Chicago Manual of Style. Note that there is a difference between the style for page article titles and citation titles. There was a suggestion that our Wiki article titles guideline in the Manual of Style is not how we have been doing things, suggestion was to add that to the [[FamilySearch Wiki talk:Manual of Style|MoS Talk page]]. | |||

:*Subpages – Clarification and possible policy change. [[Help:Subpages|Help:Subpages]] says: “By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on [[Help:Talk pages|talk pages]] and [[Help:User page|user pages]]. See [[Help:Namespaces|Help:Namespaces]]. In namespaces where the feature is switched off, any slashes (/) within a page name are simply part of the page name and do nothing special.” | |||
::The above paragraph seems to talk about two different things. | |||
::#Where subpages ''can'' be used. This seems to imply that subpages are ''only'' for talk and user pages. | |||
::#The breadcrumb trail that can be automatically generated. Should this be turned on for other types of pages? Judy 19:39, 11 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
