Help:Support team &lt;--- coordinate this link

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.

Email
Each of us has a work email account which we can access at OWA

Skype and Yammer
To talk to each other across the miles, we use both Skype and Yammer. Sometime during 2014 we will be switching over to another program.

User Pages
To speak with one of our team directly, click on one of the support team userpage pages and email us. To do that, here are the directions: look in the right sidebar, in the section called "toolbox" there is a link for "Email this User". Contact anyone on our team and we can set you up with our most recent communication tool.

Talk Pages
Other ways to communicate among ourselves is through the individual Talk pages that are available on every wiki page. If you have a comment about a particular page, make an edit on the "Talk" tab (found on the upper left of the page). To learn more, go to Help:Talk Pages

Make Content Changes
If you want to submit content for the Wiki, in the right sidebar, under the Volunteer section, is a link called "Submit Wiki Content". Another option is by using the "Get Help" function, which is at the top of every FamilySearch page. Currently the Support team does not answer any phone or chats, but we do respond to emails that are forwarded to us using this avenue.

Templates
Several templates are available to place on pages - (the 'helpme' image on this page is for display purposes only)

Submit Forms
This links to a spreadsheet where people can suggest content to be added to a page.

Submit Content
This opens the page "Submit content" for people to add whatever they want, and the support or content team can work with the submission.

This template placed on a page signals someone else on the team that Help is needed. This template is placed only on talk pages where a discussion can take place without affecting the main topic page.

Another source for help is to go to FamilySearch then go to top right of that page and click on get help.
