Welcome
New Attendees:

Sister Heeder is having surgery and will be out for at least 2 weeks. Sister Sandra Kennedy has been invited to our two Thursday meetings. She will be able to start to join in meeting from her work in the next week as her employer is putting WIFI in their office so she can join us.

Kudos go to: All the team has really worked hard on File Categories.

Follow-up and Priority items for this meeting:
Patrolling People patrolling are letting certain things go on talk page: We will share in Thursday meeting and Sandra will train next week.

1. Answer questions posted on talk pages. If you do not know the answer, put a. After a question is answered, put. These go to Sandra. If it is Historical Records there is a different template for them. See example. 2. Format the talk page giviing a title to the question. 3. If there is no signature, use — Preceding unsigned comment added by  user name  (talk&thinsp;|&thinsp;contribs)  17:57, 12 February 2014 (UTC) and go to the history to find the username and the date. 4. If you answer a question, indent below the question. Then answer the question. 5. If you patrol a talk page that is older, you need to fix the whole page if it has not been done in the past. See Clean up talk pages.
 * Priority Item...Just what does this mean - Patrolling seems to be taking a backseat to projects. We need Everyone to do some everyday. What's the solution for everyone to take part? Are their members of the team who feel they are exempt?
 * (Sandra) The FamilySearch Historical Records Team is re-organizing their Categories to match the titles and the Wiki order of Categories. See above the way to categorize these categories.


 * (From training spotlight last week, which was not covered) Take up the opportunity and go to the following pages Wanted Categories and follow instructions on the |How to Create Wanted Categories or go to Wanted Pages and follow the instructions at How to Create Wanted Pages. Most of the new categories are being created by the FamilySearch Historical Records Team to follow the creation and names order. The main categories they can be put into are Category:(State or Country name) FamilySearch Historical Records


 * Example: I copied the Title, divided the Title up and added the two categories.The first category would be Just the county or state. The second is the region plus the FamilySearch Historical Records. Have fun. Thanks so much for all you each do. (Over kill. Yes or maybe? Oh well enjoy.) This has all been completed by the FamilySearch Historical Records Team.


 * This is a new page that covers the Weekly Report process. FamilySearch_Wiki:Weekly_Report/How_to


 * (Wilma) Please do not go to Illinois page for the next few weeks unnecessarily. The Content team would like to get a good feel for how many times the page is truly accessed.


 * (Linda) Support Team Tool Box link is live. Also FamilySearch Wiki:Wiki Support has been changed to hub. (Old page saved in a sandbox as well as in history)


 * (Giuseppe) Community Council and Support Team discussion (Governance Council creation?)
