Problems making portal pages!
Hi Merrimanrl, I am having trouble working out how to make portal pages for


 * https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Portal:Friuli-Venezia_Giulia


 * https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Portal:Piedmont_(Piemonte)


 * https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Portal:Sicily(Sicilia)

Can you explain or help me please?

Davide

I have worked it out.

Did you get it worked out? I was going to refer you to the "Get Started With This Site" section for instructions.

Yes I did, I ended up using this to create them. Thanks davide 22:34, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Removal of all the pre-made catalogue searches
Hi Ruth, Any reason why the searches were removed? Do you have other plans for them davide 21:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Davide,

I think that that basically reproduced the catalog and that's not the purpose of the Wiki. I left your suggestion to go to FamilySearch.org with the link and explanations. Once they're in the catalog, they can do the searches...they don't need to be led to each of them from the Wiki. What do you think? I just don't think the Wiki is the place for them.

Hi Ruth, I agreed that we should not reproduce the catalog, and I was not. I created the the premade searchs to match the following page ( Welsh Records) and so that eventually each country would have shortcut links to the catalog (instead of coping pasting which for a lot of beginners is beyond them). I am waiting on the Jim the Sysop to come back with an answer on the LDS statistics for (microfilms,microfiche,books,electronic resources,maps) on Italy and if it can also be done for the other countries. Which is in the scope of providing more information people on the wiki. davide 11:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
