Style Guide


 * Welcome! Feedback/questions from moderators or adopters on the call:


 * The ability of allowing users to delete pages - A great effort has taken place to understand the need to delete pages for those on the User Guidance team. These are the basic reasons:

· The title has changed multiple times so it has become confusing to the users

· The article was created in error

· Two collections have been combined so the article has been combined with another article

· The article is a duplicate with only a slightly different title and it causes a problem with the links to the collection

This request will be forwarded to the Community Council to come up with the best policy/plan going forward.

Updates and follow up

 * Reminder: Requests or decisions that involve changes to policy, procedures, etc. will be forwarded to the Community Council for review.
 * Google has changed analytics. How does this effect the Wiki pages? Is a part of the discussion.
 * LDS Tech Conference Registration

Items to pose to Community Council
Now that there are no forums, how do those who adopt a page monitor changes in the Wiki policy, guidelines, etc? This question will be forwarded to the Council this week.
