Proposed Wiki Design Elements

by Jane's committee on how to use the wiki

  • the above, and anything below [in brackets] is clarification; it will be replaced with links or removed once this page goes live
  • The nest section, "What is the wiki" explains the context of the wiki, and therefor is germane to all wiki users. Its title should be on the main page with a link to this material. Also, there should be a links back to the main page and to the how to use the wiki page, so folks can choose to either begin their wiki journey from the main page or from the beginners page.

Material to be added to the wiki

Following are suggested pages to add to the wiki

1. What is the wiki? [General information that may be used my many. See below; it will be linked to from the main page and perhaps others, especially from new beginners pages.

2. Beginning Research

3. Beginning Editing/writing for the wiki

What is the Wiki?

The FamilySearch Wiki is a resource for helping you find your ancestors. It provides links and references to sources where information or documents may be found telling you about your ancestors. It also has information about places and types of genealogical records. You search here for context and sources; not for specific individuals or families.

Historical Records, Trees, and the FamilySearch Family Tree.(now New.FamilySearch.org) are places to find specific information about individuals and families.
:[NOTE: the parenthetical phrase about new FS will be removed once FamilyTree is available to the general public.]
