Outstanding development[edit source]

Multi collection articles[edit source]

Some articles describe more than one collection see England Vital Records Index. Develop the ability to include more than one link back to FSRS. --Steve 14:20, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Other Discussion[edit source]

Steve, Sorry about the unintentional save. I was looking at this template as an example while I worked on another template. I got a 2 minute warning, and thought it was for the other template. I panicked, threw in a comment, and saved. I tried an undo but it didn't seem to work. I hope the changes are just formatting? Robert 17:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


No worries. Looking at the diff all that has happened is that the FCKeditor has changed the first style attribute into a more verbose version. The result is the same. --Steve 17:55, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


Eliminating "Record Search"[edit source]

So it seems that the name "Record Search" is no longer going to be used. So is it possible to remove that phrase from this template? I am thinking for the logo just using the FamilySearch part as well as just using FamilySearch. I also have an official Familysearch logo uploaded if you want to use it. (you don't have to but here is one if you want it)

So I went ahead and changed the logo. I did not change the link name as I would prefer the link works. i am going to, in the near future perhaps move the FamilySearch Record Search article to a new name. Something like "FamilySearch Collections" same article new title.

Wording
[edit source]

I would suggest that the words "that is" and "for free online" be removed from the template. I'm concerned the word "free" may be misleading. There are "free index/for-pay image" collections and "free index/free image" collections. The template doesn't differentiate.  The wording must either differentiate (and be absolutely accurate) or the word "free" should be removed.  Also, stating that a collection is available at FamilySearch.org (a website) provides sufficient clarity so that people understand it's available online.  Lise 20:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
