First Step: Try to work it out
When disputes arise between community members they are strongly encouraged to talk together and resolve their differences. When there are disputes, it is very important to:
- Use the discussion (talk) pages to discuss issues, following the discussion (talk) page guidelines.
- Follow the Etiquette Guidelines.
- Accept that each party has the best interest of the wiki at heart.
- Be civilized in your discusssions.
- See also the article Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot.
Second Step: Seek help from others
- If you can't come to a resolution between the parties through negotiation, you should ask for some outside assistance from other community members. A few option to explore are:
- Seek contributor assistance
- Post a question on the Wiki Forums
Third Step: Mediation
- If negotiations and informal help from third parties do not resolve the editing conflict, you may request mediation. Mediation is a more formal process whereby a neutral third party, a Mediator, helps to facilitate the conversation between the contributors.
- Main article: FamilySearch Wiki:Mediation
Fourth Step: Arbitration
- If Mediation doesn't resolve the problem, the issue may need to be escalated to the Arbitration Board. This is requested by the Mediator.
