| − | I have heard comments about this Tour page and that when people get to the page, it's not what they expected to see. There is a lot of "how to get help" information here, but not enough of a "Tour" to tell you about the wiki.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I have a few suggestions so that this page can be a little more focused to what the Wiki is all about and downplay the need for getting help - after all, the Wiki is of itself a self-help tool, and we should encourage users to to use it as a researcher; you don't need that much help in the beginning. You need the help later as you get more in depth into researching your family.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | That said, here are some thoughts. We'd start by breaking the pages up into four main sections:<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :*'''Getting Started '''- add links to more getting started materials, search helps, etc., and reword to take away the idea that you need help from community members.
| |
| − | :*'''How to do Genealogy Research '''- move the “How to Research” section up higher on the page
| |
| − | :*'''Research Forums '''– here is where we will talk more about getting help and refer researchers to the Forums
| |
| − | :*'''Contribute to the Wiki '''– talk about contributing and link to the Edit/Contribute page and to the Community Center

| − | :::And...done! Hope you like the new sections and of course feel free to edit/add/subtract if need be. I hope this gives the main 3-4 "starting points" for these different areas/purposes of the Wiki. [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] 22:27, 4 March 2011 (UTC)<br>
