*Handling outdated syllabi contained within the wiki: | |||
**update articles? Contact contributor? Contact original presenter if not the wiki contributor? | |||
**archive them when obsolete? | |||
**delete and replace, if similar topic is needed? | |||
Style guide implications - time-specific text. "Currently" | |||
For discussion purposes, see [[Powerful Tips and Tricks for Searching Historical Documents in FamilySearch|Powerful Tips and Tricks for Searching Historical Documents in FamilySearch]]. | |||
Gerry McGovern explains why it is so important to have processes in place to review and remove outdated content in "[http://www.gerrymcgovern.com/new-thinking/why-review-and-remove-are-such-critical-web-skills Why review and remove are such critical web skills.]" It's worth a quick read. | |||

- We do not want to infringe on people contributing, but how do we point to it rather than put it in. (Syllabi archive?) Create a template for syllabi, and to identify it when it is superceded. Use tag "historical pages" or "superceded pages." This protects the integrity of the contribution. Provide ability to direct to most current content. '''Steve volunteered to create the template: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Template:Superseded''' | |||
- Will use category called "archive." He would like your feedback. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Superseded | |||
- Links in documents need to be changed to lastest articles so users can the find most recent. | |||
'''Questions: ''' | |||
*What is the plan to implement this? (Ideas: add to help wanted: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Help_Wanted, discuss on Support Team.) Proposal: Edit the Help Wanted page so the Editing the Wiki section does not distract from the help portion (Graphic too large). ''' Help Wanted page has been edited by Lee: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/FamilySearch_Wiki:Help_wanted_on_the_Wiki''' | |||
*Is there a way to assign all the conference articles into a master category that contains all Syllabi content? ( a hierarchy within categories). | |||
*References like currently would preferrably be better if phrased "as of." This should be added to style guide. | |||
Thought: Contributors need to have the power to remove/archive articles. We will discuss next week more completely. | |||
We will discuss further next week.<br> <br> | |||
