Guidelines[edit | edit source]

The Inuse Template[edit | edit source]

The Inuse template can be used by authors who are currently editing a page. Adding the Inuse template will help avoid edit wars. The Inuse template should only be left on a page for a 24 hour time period. Authors should avoid editing pages when another author has added the Inuse template to the page. Understanding the Civility and Polite Discourse policy and also the [[Policy:Etiquette}Etiquette]] guidelines will benefit all authors and users of the FamilySearch Research Wiki.

Use Discussion Pages[edit | edit source]

All contributions are appreciated. If any Wiki user feels a contributor's efforts are not up to speed, it is best to handle it through Discussion pages in a civil way. Also see the Civility and Polite Discourse policy and also the [[Policy:Etiquette}Etiquette]] guidelines for suggestions about working in an online community environment.
