Other Users' Sandboxes
Dear User Tboelling,

Users' Sandboxes are for their personal use. Please do not change those pages unless asked to do so by the user. Thank you! Brepouille/Wiki Support Team (talk) 01:40, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Categories
Sister Repouille

I was just correcting the categories from the main pages of the categories. I'm sorry, if I was out of order, I was just helping. But some were needed to fit into the correct categories. When I see the state FHC's I like to get some ideas and some looked like it was out of order. I was hoping to make it be all alphabetical for the designated page. I thought it would help flow the page better. I will not do it again. May I can be reinstated?

 * RESPONSE
 * Your help is appreciated. Just not quite so enthusiastically.  :)


 * Every page and file/image in the FamilySearch Wiki with very few exceptions should have a category on it.
 * FHC pages are for that FHC's staff to update. If they choose not to, that is their choice.
 * Help pages should not be touched except possibly to correct spelling.
 * User pages and Sandboxes should not be touched by anyone other than the user unless requested by that user.


 * May I suggest you check out Wiki University, in particular, the tab regarding the Wiki itself. These lessons are short and may give you more of an idea as to what is appropriate in the Wiki.


 * I will speak with Danielle and see how she would like to proceed. Someone will get back to you before the end of the day - hopefully, sooner. Brepouille/Wiki Support Team (talk) 10:21, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Users sandbox.
I will not edit others users pages from now on, unless asked. But let me say "Pages with broken file links" had some to be correct and put the page back in into active status without broken link. Would it suffice to say to have them fix instead of being in limbo. I thought I was do a favor fr them. Again I will not edit them and asked in the talk mode now that I can see how it works. Please forgive me and reinstate my account. Curiosity got the best of me.

Tom (talk)

One last thought. I was trying to cleaning up so many of the pages out there. Is that a bad thing? I thought it was a good thing to help out. I didn't mean to step on anyone's territory. Danielle was kind to tell me I was being of good help.

reinstate me
Lesson learned. I will not remove categories from pages. Let me start over and begin again helping. If a page is questionable. I will let you know by way of talkk.

 * RESPONSE
 * At this time, it is in Danielle's hands. I will let her know of your comment.  Please contact her if you wish to speak with her before she contacts you.

Fonts

How many fonts does the FamilySearch uses? Are these a limited amount used? I don't see any. I do see how many colors are accepted in FamilySearch.

duplicate FHC
I notice under Utah FHC there is a duplicate page of the Gunnison Utah Correctional Facility Family History Center and the Gunnison Utah Correctional Facility Family History Center -Boulder are the same. One has the photo and the other doesn't. It does have the same address.

Also under the Hawaii FHC I notice the centers of Kaneohe Hawaii Family History Center and Kanoehe Hawaii Family History Center. The one with Kanoehe Hawaii does not exist and probably be in deletion. Tom (talk) 04:25, 20 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up. I will work on these. Thanks. Batsondl (talk) 14:44, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Questionable link
F Y I, the following link     igs@iowagenealogy.org takes a person to a blank page.

It is a mail to link. I had no problem with it. It went right to my mail to compose a email. Tom (talk) 19:44, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for the caution image.AdkinsWH (talk) 18:38, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Tab for contributors images
Danielle could there be a visible image log of what we contribute and see when it is uploaded. I thinkoi that would help me and maybe others. I'm sort of semi retired and I do have a anxiety when I do pages. This will help me and hopeful what my limits instead of placing limits. Tom (talk)

Hi Tom - you can use the "Contributions" link in the top right hand corner of the screen to see what you have edited on a page. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to show which images you submitted that have passed and are uploaded to the wiki. You will have to keep a record. We always email you with the link to the image when we upload the page to the wiki. Hope that helps. Batsondl (talk) 14:35, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Thumbnails of Doc and PDF files
Could a person do a thumbnail of a doc on a page? if they are a lot of them I see one page has a lot of images and wonder if it could be done.

Thanks Tom (talk) 03:12, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can. There is a Gallery wikitext code you can use.  Just type  after the last image.  You can see an example here.  Let me know if you have any questions. Batsondl (talk) 14:44, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
