CID identification numbers
We are once again experimenting with changing the CID notes in white text. This time we're going slowly because the last time we tried that some of our links were broken, and that was a bad week. Hopefully, this option work and the notes will be invisible to wiki readers.

Editors will still be able to see them, but I have confidence that they will ignore them. At this time we don't have another option that will work with Record Search than the CID note. Dorothy Horan

I was wondering if you could answer some questions that have been on my mind.


 * Why is it important not to erase or change the CID numbers that are being inserted at the end or articles about Record Search collections such as England Cheshire Nonconformist Church Records?
 * Is it important that the CID reference is embedded in a level 6 header?
 * Is it important the CID number is displayed?
 * If not could the CID number be included in comment tags for example  ? --Steve 18:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Dorothy, as you may have noticed, I sent you the latest suggestions through a link in an e-mail. This subject was also discussed today in the Community Meeting as well. After some discussion, we ended up discussing the information in my Discussion page (same as what I e-mailed you). Steve, Laralee, and I have really jumped in on my proposals. Michael was part of this discussion and asked me to also post the link here on your talk page. Thomas Lerman 20:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Michael and Thomas, the Record Search engineers are telling me that placing the CID number in a comment will not work as the comments are not indexed.


 * That is good to know, Dorothy. The latest proposal is to not put it in a comment, but rather a template. Is the template text indexed (I sure hope so)? Thomas Lerman 15:29, 14 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Dorothy. Are any of the Record Search engineers also contributers to the wiki or at least familiar with wikitext/markup? --Steve 16:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
