FamilySearch Wiki:Wiki Etiquette for Project Team Members

The deeper you become involved in the wiki, the more you can learn about etiquette details, but the basics you need to know are here:

Basic Wiki Etiquette Rules


 * Wait to Delete - Never delete another contributor's work unless instructed to do so by your Project Manager (unless it is blatant advertising or content clearly not appropriate for the wiki).
 * Use Talk Pages - If you disagree with information another contributor has placed on a page, attempt to discuss it with the contributor by using the wiki article's Talk Page or their User's Talk Page.
 * Always Be Polite - Remember the "Golden Rule" and make any posts on a Talk Page polite and non-judgmental. Assume that the contributor has acted in good faith.
 * Respond to Others - Make sure you respond to any posts another contributor has left on the wiki article's Talk Page or your User's Talk Page.
 * Don't be a Wiki Bully - Do not escalate a situation with another contributor when you disagree. Should you feel that someone is becoming confrontational, notify your Project Manager and they will help you by mediating the situation.
