| == Guidelines ==
| |
| | |
| === Use "Discussion" and "Talk" Pages ===
| |
| | |
| 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, the [[Template:Discussion Requested|Discussion Requested]] template should be added to the user's [[Help:Talk pages|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]]''' 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.
| |
| | |
| === The "Stub" Template ===
| |
| | |
| A [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types|stub template]] should be added to a page when the page is in the beginning stages of development. All Stub articles, including those that have been moved to a sub-category can be found within the [[:Category:Stub categories]] structure.
