*'''Task Difficulty''' Tasks are rated for difficulty. Within each phase task table look for 1, 2, or 3, with 1 being the least difficult and 3 being the most difficult.
 
*'''Highlight important and relevant items'''. Long lists of every website or every publication would bury, rather than highlight, what's important.
 
*'''Tell readers what to expect''' when they follow a link or search a suggested record.
 
*'''Balance content''' with these four factors in mind:
 
:a. [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Hows#Genealogical_Value|'''Genealogical Value.''']] Does this help Wiki users further their research?<br>
:b. '''Clarity.''' Make sure everyone understands your meaning and the purpose of your words.<br>
:c. '''Brevity.''' Be succinct as possible without sacrificing purpose or clarity.<br>
:d. '''Documentation.''' Use footnote(s) to identify the source(s) of the content you are creating.<br>
 
For each section containing information regarding resources and records, the following should be included:
 
*'''Links to online resources:''' indexes and/or images of records or how to use those records.
*'''Links to catalogs''' such as the [http://books.google.com/advanced_book_search Google books], [http://www.worldcat.org/ WorldCat], [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlc/ FamilySearch Catalog]among others.
