| === Example ===
| |
|
| |
| In 2011 there was a statement in the list of 'FamilySearch Wiki is not' on the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Purpose and Appropriate Topics]] page that stated that the "FamilySearch Wiki is not a list of Family History Centers". At the time the FamilySearch Wiki Support Team was creating the present FHC pages. They were concerned that placing these pages in the Wiki would be against this policy. They followed the above steps.
| |
|
| |
| #They discussed the problem within their meeting, put the problem and the suggested solution to those concerned,
| |
| #Presented it on the forums (the place that many discussions were done at that time).
| |
| #When all discussion were in consensus.
| |
| #The policy was removed from the Purpose and Appropriate Topics page.
| |
| #Then the Family History Centers pages were placed into the Wiki.
