-Mediation is a process that can be [[FamilySearch Wiki:Mediation Requests|requested]] by authors to help them resolve disputes about article content. If authors cannot resolve conflicts related to article content with the help of a mediator, authors can [[:Category:Arbitration requests|request arbitration]].

The [[FamilySearch Wiki:Etiquette Guidelines|Etiquette Guidelines]] will help all users understand how to avoid conflicts by following the suggested best practices when contributing to the wiki.
+Mediation is a process that can be [[FamilySearch Wiki:Mediation Requests|requested]] by authors to help them resolve disputes about article content.
+&nbsp;
+Prior to&nbsp;requesting mediation, contributors are required to take steps to&nbsp;resolve the editing conflict on their own:
+#Review the tips to avoid disputes.
+#Seek to resolve the dispute through negotiation.
+#Seek&nbsp;help from others to resolve the&nbsp;conflict.&nbsp;
+If an editing conflict cannot be resolved through negotiation and seeking help from others, the contributors can request Mediation from&nbsp;the Mediation Committee.&nbsp; The Mediation process will be governed by the Mediation Policy.&nbsp;
 If the conflict is related to user conduct that is in conflict with the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Civility and Polite Discourse|Civility and Polite Discourse]] policy, the issue will be handled through the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Arbitration|Arbitration]] process.
