Help:FamilySearch Center Wiki Pages

Purpose of Family History Center Wiki Pages
The family history center Wiki page is first and foremost for the patron trying to obtain information about the center and what it offers, member and non-member. This information can include:
 * Location
 * Contact information, phone or email
 * Current hours
 * Classes and other resources
 * Services available

What is Not Appropriate
The Wiki page is not for the use of disseminating information to Temple and Family History Consultants or ward leadership information. Adding links to classes, handouts, or information about training specific to Temple and Family History consultants is not appropriate, especially when links to this information includes doctrinal phrases of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Information for priesthood leaders should never be listed on a FHC Wiki page as all direction is given from priesthood authorities in the area and not by FamilySearch centers. The Wiki page should also not be used to communicate ward and stake goals or be used by the ward to give announcements or local leadership responsibilities.

'NOTE: Inappropriate information as described above will be taken off the FHC Wiki page by FamilySearch management. '

Doctrinal Information in the Research Wiki
Doctrinal information of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not belong on any pages of this Wiki. The Wiki audience is world-wide, to individuals of many faiths, who love genealogy and wish to learn how to find resources and is not a place to put information about doctrine. This includes PowerPoint presentations, handouts, and links to recorded classes that may include doctrinal information in them. See the Wiki Purpose and Appropriate Topics for more information.

Family History Center Catalogs
As per the FamilySearch Research Wiki Purpose, Policies, and Procedures page, catalogs or lists of holdings of a libary or family history center are not allowed on a family history center Wiki page. Instead, a PDF copy of a Word document or Excel spreadsheet may be submitted for upload to the Wiki and a family history center may link to the document for patrons to use on their Wiki page. Centers listing this information directly on the Wiki page will be asked to remove the detailed catalog information.

FamilySearch Responsibilities
All information found on the FamilySearch Research Wiki is under the direction of the FamilySearch Research Wiki Executive Council. FamilySearch will decide what is allowed on Family History Center Wiki pages. To contact the Executive Council, send an email to: [mailto:wikisupport@familysearch.org wikisupport@familysearch.org]
