FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Copy Research Guidance and Help Content into the Wiki

Your help is needed! This is a Research Wikiproject that anyone can participate in. No genealogical research knowledge is needed. There are three phases to this project. Each phase will be tracked in this article. The FamilySearch Wiki team is currently working on phase one:


 * 1) All the Research Guidance and Research Help content that currently resides on FamilySearch.org needs to be identified and evaluated for inclusion in the FamilySearch Research Wiki.
 * 2) Volunteers sign up to help with copying content identified in phase one. Sign up by editing this document and inserting three tildes in the 'sign up...' column across from the task you want to copy into the Wiki. After you have added the three tildes, click on the Save page button.
 * 3) Many articles in the Research Wiki include links to the Research Guidance or Research Help content on FamilySearch.org - every link needs to be identified and changed to the corresponding document or article in the Wiki instead of the resource on FamilySearch.org

If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions, please add them to the Discussion page.

= Glossary Content To Be Copied =

The glossary in the Wiki was originally obtained from SourceGuide. The glossary on FamilySearch.org contains more content than what was copied from SourceGuide. The glossary on FamilySearch.org contains a lot of translations from foreign languages to English. It is possible that the foreign language words in the FamilySearch glossary are repeated in the Word Lists. Further analysis is needed to know for sure.
