Lesson structure
This is a set of short lessons to teach you what you need to know to be an effective missionary. The lessons are designed to help you learn your responsibilities in small, easy to digest bites. The sidebar on the left of each page lists and links to the lessons as well as other useful tools.


 * These lessons will help you to gain the knowledge necessary for you to edit and add content to the FamilySearch Wiki.


 * You will learn how to work with other missionaries in the FamilySearch Wiki Support Team.


 * You will also learn how you can assist FamilySearch Wiki patrons.

The exercises and quick quizzes at the end of each lesson are designed to help you learn how to apply the principles taught in the lessons. Please complete these before class.

What is a FamilySearch Wiki support missionary?


The Wiki Support Team's assignment is to keep the FamilySearch Wiki orderly, useful, and up-to-date. Here are some of the responsibilities you will have as Wiki support missionaries:


 * Check all new additions to the Wiki.
 * Answer email questions from patrons, contributors and other missionaries and volunteers.
 * Review, edit and organize pages, files, images, talk pages, categories, and templates to keep them up-to-date and clean of non-research materials.
 * Teach new missionaries, each other, and other groups about the Wiki.
 * Create, organize, and follow through to completion projects that improve the order and usefulness of the Wiki.
 * Work as a team to develop ways to help improve the Wiki.

We are a team



 * Part of your work will be to meet with other missionaries to discuss problems and come up with solutions.
 * For meetings we use a program called Webex that will be discussed in the next lesson.

Sandbox page
A user sandbox page is a private page that can be used for notes, practice, links, draft development of new material, etc. Users may create as many sandbox pages as they need. If you have not done so already, please create a sandbox page where you can practice your wikitext lessons.


 * To create a sandbox page for doing the homework for your Wiki Missionary lessons, enter the following into the Wiki search box on the right side of the page: "user:your user name/sandbox/name of page you want" (do not include quotation marks), to practice your Wiki Missionary lessons.


 * For example: User:johnsmith/sandbox/wiki missionary homework.


 * After you have typed in the name you want for your sandbox practice page, hit the enter key or click the search icon (magnifying glass) on the right side of the search box.
 * A list will then appear and your entry will appear at the top of the list in red; the red just means that your sandbox page has not been created yet.
 * Click on that red link, and a blank edit box will appear with the name of the sandbox page you just created displayed at the top.
 * As soon as you enter something in the edit box and save it, it will be a permanent page.
 * This will be the place to save your homework to refresh your memory when needed from time to time.
