It seems to my that the text (with link) on the main page should match what is says in the box on the top right. What other places should link to this page? I really do not know. I suppose all countries could have a link on the top to get to the browse by country (some might call this a breadcrumb, but technically it is not and I think that would be overkill!). I am not what is being called "FamilySearch Beta" at this time (the link is broken). [[User:Thomas_Lerman\|Thomas_Lerman]] 17:24, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

	The changes that we were talking about, which would take care of the cons are manually demonstrated within my user talk page. It makes columns look and act the same of existing columns within the MediaWiki look.

−	I also like the changes made to the Browse by Country page. Although I don't remember any discussion about the pros and cons, so I'd say let's keep the changes!

	I believe the discussion was in the old forum . . . maybe not. If I remember correctly, the big con is the limited ability of most that would do editing. Hopefully, I will be able to get to the changes that I had created the look for in my talk page.

	::I like the idea of including a map in this article. Also the code used for multi-columns was only for mozilla based browsers.

	:::I would like to see an interface very similar, if not the same, as what can be seem through Record Search. I believe we have actually talked about it before . . . unifying the interface between multiple products. If I can get the images (and hopefully the image maps too), I would be glad to implement it.

−	::I noticed the page was changed again, this time a template was created and added to the page for three columns. On the documentation of the template it states that all browsers do not support the template for columns. I was wondering why we would use the template when the code that was added by Steve fixed the browser problem for showing multi-columns. --[[User:JensenFA\|~~Franjensen~~]] 20:47, 21 December 2009 (UTC)	+	::I noticed the page was changed again, this time a template was created and added to the page for three columns.

	:::The new template produces the same results as Steve's changes. The changes he made is not supported on all browsers either. The template would hopefully make it easier to fix the columns if another browser needs more codes added.

	::I still would like to see the alpha listing of countries, but also have a Regional listing using images just like Record Search . . . Two separate pages. Comments before I start doing this (especially if I can get the same images and hopefully image map)?

−	:::The Canadian section is already in the Wiki [[Image:Canada Map edited.JPG]]. Not a single page in the wiki links to the image. The history shows that the image was ported over when the Plone database was ported into the wiki. I don't know if there are other regional sections of the image in the wiki besides this one. I'd have to look. Thanks for the clarification about wanting all the regional maps. I didn't catch that before. -[[User:JensenFA\|~~Franjensen~~]] 21:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)	+	:::The Canadian section is already in the Wiki [[Image:Canada Map edited.JPG]].

−	Since this is an English language Wiki, I propose that the names in "Browse by Country" be limited to those commonly used in English language sources. To be specific, use the names and spellings as they appear in the [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html CIA World Factbook]. In a few cases the names may not be on the "Browse by Country" list if they are historically uninhabited and would therefore have no known genealogical records.    [[User:Diltsgd\|Diltsgd]] 02:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)	+	Since this is an English language Wiki, I propose that the names in "Browse by Country" be limited to those commonly used in English language sources.
