That duplicates the forums in some ways. Is that good or bad? | ||
::*Bad to have multiple places for people to go to. | |||
::*Good to give a specific place for questions rather than all of England, can go to the parish page | |||
::*We need to start interlinking more - post wiki links on forums, post video links on wiki, post forum link on talk pages, etc. | |||
::*In the past people have posted info about specific individuals - the wiki is not for that, for individuals, and where is the line if we start talking about questions about research? | |||
