= Wiki Contributor's idea =

I had an idea and wanted to run it by you. See https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/FamilySearch_Wiki:Contributors_Meeting_Agenda_22_February_2011

I added items to the “Improve the Wiki”

I made an offer to provide some of my technical expertise to other people’s projects. Jane – would you be interested in extending an offer to community meeting participants? What if you offered to add historical population tables to a state or two where folks have projects going on? We could list Virginia as a request, since you’ve already done that.

Wilma – what if you also make an offer to help get this ball rolling. I bet a lot of folks have the outdated breadcrumb trails on their pages, for example, which I'm sure you'd love to fix!!

I thought this could be a good way to help us have action items to assist in the projects of other folks who attend the meeting.

Let me know what you think!

 * When the adopter template was added to the Utah page, the link to UGA was created, but as the moderator I need to know who the wiki user is who actually adopted the page. How do I find out who that is? Thanks, --Fran 23:11, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

User Talk Pages
Hi Wilma,

I'd love to hear your thoughts about the importance of user pages! Can you take a minute and add your thoughts on the Forum thread I've started? Lise 02:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hi Wilma. Got a favor to ask of you. Going forward, will you please add edit summaries to your edits? This'll save me time from having to compare revisions each time I'm working on a page you're also working on. Thanks! RitcheyMT 05:24, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit mode
Your changes this afternoon to https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Projects_Seeking_Contributors caused the border to be deleted on the United States table. When you made that change were you doing the edit in just that section or did you use the edit button for th whole page? Knowing which way you did the edit may help us understand the cause of the change. Darris G. Williams 21:08, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Darris. All I did was add Utah to the table. I'll admit I was tempted to change the table a bit, but did not. I usually do only the specific section when I edit. Looking at it again, I am certain it was in the specific area where the edits were made.AdkinsWH 15:25, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Editing in the "section only" opens up a can of worms due to some problems with the FCK editor. It does not see some codes that it expects, then adds them in automatically when you save the work you are doing in that section. If the code existed in the preceding or following section then the page as a whole gets jumbled up. Fran has suggested that the section editing capability be turned off until the FCK editor is fixed but engineering has not moved on either request. It is possible, I think, to turn the section editing off in your preferences or just edit the whole page as a standard practice. We don't know that the disappearing table border is due to editing in the section only and will be reporting this problem for the Support Team to investigate. Darris G.
