Editing of content that resides in the FamilySearch Wiki namespace should be a different project. The majority of the pages that reside in the namespace are not Help content pages, but instead are pages that explain the project itself (the FamilySearch Research Wiki project). If there is anything in the FSWiki namespace that is truly a Help content page and not a project-related page then we should discuss the issue on the discussion page and possibly move the page to the Help namespace. Or it's possible that an associated Help page needs creating and then linking between the two. Any editing that might be needed on the project pages should be done via the discussion page. The section of this page that is entirely linked to FSWiki project pages is bordered in a pink color. I'm going to sign my name to each item so I can be closely involved with this effort. Thanks! --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 16:39, 11 July 2011 (UTC) | Editing of content that resides in the FamilySearch Wiki namespace should be a different project.

:See the clarification I added to the page about what the review of the FamilySearch Wiki review is all about. I hope that makes more sense. This is not to change things in those artilces, but as has been mentioned, many FSW pages were created back before it was well understood what the difference was between the FSW and the Help namespace. This is nothing more than a check to see that there is not Help information in those FSW namespaces, to create Help information for them when needed, and to check to see that there are maintenance templates where needed for policies.

::I don't think content should be removed from the FSW project/policy/guideline articles after only a week of waiting for discussion. It's taken a lot longer to change headings on county pages, and that doesn't even affect the policies. So a week is too short. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 20:43, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | ::I don't think content should be removed from the FSW project/policy/guideline articles after only a week of waiting for discussion.

::The [[FamilySearch Wiki:Policies/Proposed enhancements]] article documents what the procedures were for policy and guideline issues, plus identified if there was a template (aka flag) already created; if there was a help article; and what category(s) were needed or in place for the policy. Each of the tables could be revised to change the word "Flags" to "Template" and we may know what the categories are and can populate that information. We also tried to identify what "Role" in the wiki was required in order to act on the consequence based upon the policy. (If deleting was needed, the person has to be an administrator). | ::The [[FamilySearch Wiki:Policies/Proposed enhancements]] article documents what the procedures were for policy and guideline issues, plus identified if there was a template (aka flag) already created; if there was a help article; and what category(s) were needed or in place for the policy.

:::Sorry for the confusion, the idea isn't to give things only a week for the entire discussion. The idea is to give it a week to see if anyone has any concerns about it. If no one comes in to discuss in a week, then action could be taken. If discussion is happening, then it will wait as long as the discussion needs to take. Does a week still sound too short for that? We could give it two if need be, we just want to be able to take action if no one raises concern after a set amount of time. And thank you for the reminer about that link, that is <u>very</u> helpful. I knew about it at one point in time but had forgotten it was there. -- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] ([[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]) 20:57, 28 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
