FamilySearch Wiki talk:Patrolling

Patrolling review
After reviewing the patrolling steps and some of the content we have received in the wiki, we are looking at modifying some of the patrolling steps, including adding an additional item or two to the process. This discussion page will be used to document the issues and work toward making the right decisions about the needed changes. Please add your comments concerning the proposed changes to this discussion page.

Proposed new step to the patrolling process
Some advertising or other inappropriate information has been added to the wiki through the use of the discussion pages that are attached by default to every page. When a new page is created, the discussion page is automatically there for use. It is proposed that all patrolling of new articles will include a review of the discussion page. This can be done visually by looking at the "Discussion" link under the "View" navigation available on the right side of the screen. If the word "Discussion" is in red, then you know automatically that no content exists on the page. If the word is in black, then you know the page contains something. It may be that the user saved the page without any content on the page, or it may be that something was actually added to the page. There is no way to know for sure without viewing the page.

Please add your comments to this proposed change here on the discussion page. We will be implementing this change within the next week, so your comments are needed right away. Thanks! --Fran 14:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
