FamilySearch Wiki:Maintenance and Patrolling Committee

Back to Care and Support

If you have small blocks of time (or even large ones), the Maintenance and Patrolling Committee needs you! There are many tasks that need to be performed on a regular basis to ensure that the FamilySearch Wiki is clean and in compliance with its Guidelines and Governing Principles. Maintenance work is a vital part of keeping the Research Wiki user friendly for its researchers.

Members of this committee will:

 * Choose a task/tasks from the list of maintenance work that might interest you, and then spend time helping to clean up that task.
 * Provide input on tasks that need to be included in the current list.
 * Help Patrol new and changed pages to maintain accuracy and make sure the content is within the scope of the FamilySearch Wiki.
 * Assist in watching Help Content and Policy pages.
 * Page deletion support.
 * Teach others how to perform the maintenance tasks.
