Wiki Missionaries / Quick Helps for Linking

Before attempting to change or add anything within the wiki, a missionary should read and study the Manual of Style which is the reference manual for the wiki, complete with rules for appropriate linking. Consulting the Manual of Style about issues you might encounter, will help you learn the correct procedures to use in any given situation. Included in the FamilySearch Research Wiki are answers to questions you have not even asked yet. Numerous “Help:” pages have already been written to assist you and will inform you about “how to” accomplish almost any task. For example, if you have a question about how to use the discussion page feature, you might search as follows: In the search box enter the words “Help: discussion pages”or simply “discussion pages”. A list of selections will appear. Select the article “Help:Discussion Pages (Talk Pages)” to learn how to use discussion pages. (To understand the proper etiquette for using discussion pages, consult the Manuel of Style.) Both Manual of Style and “Help:” pages are invaluable resources to help inform us in all that we do to improve the wiki. Resources available on the wiki: Help:Adding links Note: Go to the heading “Ways to Add Links” and select “add a link” to learn how to create, edit and delete both internal and external links. Help:Create an internal link Help:Create an external link Note: Each “Help:” article above has a video demonstration about linking. Go to the top of the page under, “Quick Reference”; select the “video demonstration” link which will teach you how to create, edit and delete both internal and external links.
