FamilySearch Wiki:Wiki Etiquette for Project Team Members

The deeper you become involved in the wiki, the more you can learn about etiquette details, but the basics you need to know are here:


 * Never delete another contributor's work unless instructed to do so by your Project Manager (unless it is blatant advertising or content clearly not appropriate for the wiki).
 * If you disagree with information another contributor has placed on a page, attempt to discuss it with the contributor by using the Talk Page.
 * Remember the "Golden Rule" and make any posts on a Talk Page polite and non-judgmental. Assume that the contributor has acted in good faith.
 * Make sure you respond to any posts another contributor has left on your Talk Page.
 * Do not escalate a situation with another contributor. Should you feel that someone is becoming confrontational, notify your Project Manager and they will help you by mediating the situation.

Should you wish to read more about Wiki Etiquette, you can find a very detailed article outlining many helpful things to remember when dealing with situations that might arise on the wiki here. Remember, this article was written targeting the frequent contributor who may be authoring articles on the wiki. Your participation in this project would not subject you to most of these situations.
