Purpose of User Page
A user page is a Wiki page about a Wiki contributor. It is a feature in the Wiki for the purpose to facilitate communication among participants and bring the online community closer together. Other users and contributors will learn about you and your interest in family history. If you have editing rights, you can create your own user page. Other users will see links to your user page from various places, such as Recent Changes and View History pages. You can link to your user page within the text of a Wiki page which is mainly use used on talk pages when you Sign your name.

Guidelines for User pages
A user account should be used only by one person, and in most cases, one person should have only one account.

Name of User page
Your user page is automatically named after your username you chose when you register for a FamilySearch account. Currently, you can not change your user name once it has been created.

Your User Page must display your correct username (the one you log into the wiki with) as the page title. You should not override the page title so that the user name does not show. For example: if your username is Genealogy223 and your real name is Dale Smith, then the title of your wiki user page will be Genealogy223, not Dale Smith. This is to assist others in identifying which edits and contributions you have made.

Terms of Use
FamilySearch Terms of Use require contributors not to use their User page as a forum for conjecture, gossip, or debate about the priorities, motives, processes, policies, or competence of FamilySearch or its personnel. These activities fall outside of the scope and use of this site and may result in loss of Editing rights.


 * FamilySearch reserves the right to edit a userpage to conform to the policies of the Wiki and Terms of Use.
