Society Webmasters pages
Hi Tony, I like what you've done with the Genealogy Society Webmaster pages, those are going to be a good resource for people. We have a suggestion for how these could be named a little differently to help people as they are searching in the wiki. The wiki is broken up into "Namespaces" which is a lot like the major categories or types of pages we have. You might be familiar with what they are already, you are pretty wiki savvy, but if not, when you do a search you will see a list of all the namespaces on the right under "Advanced Search." The Webmaster pages in the wiki are currently in the "Main" namespace which is reserved for Research Help content. However, we don't really have a good "Namespace" for project-type pages currently. So we have a compromise - we'd like to have these pages all start with "Genealogy Society Webmasters:(pagetitle)" and then finish with the page name as it is currently. That way researchers will be able to tell that these pages are relating to the societies, and not to general research help. What do you think? -- janellv 22:30, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I would like to offer an alternative suggestion - rather than rename the pages, why not create a header template that could be added to each article identifying as part of this "project". --Steve 13:58, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
