Discussion Items

From FamilySearch Staff

• Review the Wiki Community thread, a suggestion to change the Community navbar links on the side. janellv
• File Types - uploads are "allowed" for many file types, but some such as .doc and .xls give warning messages. Is this policy meant to be all-inclusive, and are those file types not supposed to be uploaded at all? janellv
  • FamilySearch Wiki:Image use
• Speaking of uploading files, how hard is it to make changes to the "Upload file" page? There is a template many are using for images - Template:Information - and we'd like to know if it's possible to change the Upload File page to ask for what is on that template (including the syntax descriptions) janellv
  
• Dead Links from FHLC link update - ~700 of the 884 are just two different links, can we do a search/replace for those two? See examples:
  • Aberdalgie, Perthshire, Scotland
  • Bedrule, Roxburghshire, Scotland

Looking closer, they're locality and subject types. This is a problem uncovered after last script run. Not resolved yet until we hear from Rick. This is very same type of problem described in 11 Jan 2011 agenda. Dsammy 05:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
