Business/Announcements Foreign Wiki - Adriana Weber (Brazil) - needs mentoring in the Wiki (Charles) Improve the Wiki Categories Help:Categorize a Page Use Help pages for categorization As information is gained, add it to the articles As new pages are added, they should be assigned to a category Categories were set up to coordinate with other FamilySearch functions Category structure needs to be worked on As we see pages without categories, we should get them in a category that makes sense We need people who are specialists in different areas to work on the categories in those areas There is a difference between a category and an index There should be a cut off for levels of categories We need to encourage people to put categories on their pages. In the future, we need a large project to clean up the categories. Charles will start a table showing how various items are addressed in different countries, etc. - Example: Counties in US - Shires in Great Britain
