 * Following on from last weeks meeting - I have created two new Utah templates Utah Topics and Utah Counties and combined them into a third Utah. This is an example of keeping individual navboxes focused but available to nest together into a more comprehensive set of links. --Steve 19:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

From FamilySearch Staff

 * The next step in the stub-sorting project will be to examine all the high level stub-sorting buckets to see what further divisions are needed. The stub-sorting project participants welcome your ideas for this next phase of the project. --Fran 19:58, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * -Best placement for stub template? bottom is preferred
 * -Are moderators responsible for decision about stub classification? The decision may vary from place to place; state to state; county to county; etc. Length is not the criteria, rather, does the article fully discuss the topic?
 * -Assessment template role is to show what improvements are still needed on the articles.
 * -Another aspect we need to discuss is the list of "Short pages" that may not have the stub template on it already.
 * -Training for moderators and project leaders should include adding stub templates to new pages.


 * What subjects would you like to have as major discussions next month? --Fran 19:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
