After reviewing the patrolling steps and some of the content we have received in the wiki, we are looking at modifying some of the patrolling steps, including adding an additional item or two to the process. This discussion page will be used to document the issues and work toward making the right decisions about the needed changes. Please add your comments concerning the proposed changes to this discussion page. | After reviewing the patrolling steps and some of the content we have received in the wiki, we are looking at modifying some of the patrolling steps, including adding an additional item or two to the process.

Some advertising or other inappropriate information has been added to the wiki through the use of the discussion pages that are attached by default to every page. When a new page is created, the discussion page is automatically there for use. It is proposed that all patrolling of new articles will include a review of the discussion page. This can be done visually by looking at the "Discussion" link under the "View" navigation available on the right side of the screen. If the word "Discussion" is in red, then you know automatically that no content exists on the page. If the word is in black, then you know the page contains something. It may be that the user saved the page without any content on the page, or it may be that something was actually added to the page. There is no way to know for sure without viewing the page. | Some advertising or other inappropriate information has been added to the wiki through the use of the discussion pages that are attached by default to every page.

There was a discussion in the Forum about the length of time to expect for processing image upload requests. The discussion also included the suggestion that there is a need to check for duplicates before images are uploaded. See the [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=4607 Forum thread] for details. | There was a discussion in the Forum about the length of time to expect for processing image upload requests.

:When a duplicate image is identified it can be tagged with the the duplicate template followed by the name of the duplicate file that should be kept. e.g. {{tlx|Duplicate|Image:Example.jpg}}. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 23:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC) | :When a duplicate image is identified it can be tagged with the the duplicate template followed by the name of the duplicate file that should be kept. e.g. {{tlx|Duplicate|Image:Example.jpg}}. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 23:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC) | ||
::Thanks Steve. I'm not sure if [[User:VasquezJL|Janell]] is watching this discussion page, so I'll let her know. She can then have the missionaries use the template when duplicates are found. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 22:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC) | ::Thanks Steve.

:::I am watching this page but may not have been when this was posted as am just seeing it now. Yes, we are aware of the duplicate image template and will use it as needed. As an FYI - I am going to go ahead and move these conversations about images to the talk page for [[Help:Uploading images and files]]. [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] 13:24, 13 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
