I am wondering how much effort goes into making sure these templates are aligned with policy. For example, I haven't found any policy on image use which states that you shouldn't have duplicate images even if they are different sizes. So this page contains a template which infers a policy that doesn't exist.

:That is a great question. At the moment there is not effort going into this but we could set up a project to be sure that people know that it's something that needs to be done. It would be very helpful to make sure those were aligned better. [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] 18:32, 2 February 2011 (UTC) | :That is a great question.

::We should also add instructions on the request for approval form that a search for duplicate images should be conducted prior to submitting a file for approval. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 20:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC) | ::We should also add instructions on the request for approval form that a search for duplicate images should be conducted prior to submitting a file for approval. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 20:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC) | ||

This maintenance template page was originally in the FamilySearch Wiki namespace for a specific reason. Now that the page was moved to the Help namespace, it doesn't make sense to keep the content the same as it was before. The purpose for having the page in the Project namespace was due to the identification of the whole Wiki project. The templates for maintenance are part of developing the wiki project itself. | This maintenance template page was originally in the FamilySearch Wiki namespace for a specific reason.

With the page now in the Help namespace, the content on the page does not help the end user know how and why they should the maintenance templates. The page is written towards those who are in the support role. I think it would be better to have a Help page that actually helps the user understand how they can use the templates and why they should use the templates. | With the page now in the Help namespace, the content on the page does not help the end user know how and why they should the maintenance templates.

We still need to have a page in the project namespace (FamilySearch Wiki) that describes the maintenance templates and their purpose related to the whole project. What are your suggestions? | We still need to have a page in the project namespace (FamilySearch Wiki) that describes the maintenance templates and their purpose related to the whole project.

:It should probably be moved back to to the FSW namespace because it looks like it was a mistake to move it to Help in the first place, we just didn't know as much back then. -- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]}} 21:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
