The Full Team
FamilySearch.org has two teams specifically assigned to support the Wiki: FamilySearch Worldwide Support Tier 2 and Tier 3. The Tier 2 team helps with the majority of all the support processes and Tier 3 helps with the support processes that are more technical. (This table also appears on FamilySearch Wiki:Wiki Support)

The Support Missionaries
The Support Team live and work around the United States, volunteering part-time from their own homes. Some on the team write articles while others work on the more technical aspects of FamilySearch Research Wiki. This team is also assigned the necessary task of monitoring all pages within the Wiki for appropriate and relevant content.

The Content Missionaries
The Content Team work at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. They are also volunteer missionaries working part-time. This team designs and writes the content pages for the Research Wiki.

Supervisors and Technical Department
This group works for FamilySearch.org They keep both teams informed with the changes that happen internally within the company. They coordinate also with the Community Council that makes many of the major decisions about our Research Wiki. It is their task to bring the Research Wiki to all the countries in the world.
