What community projects are going on? (Let Robin know)


 * We might here through the grapevine or in our patrolling (FHC's etc.)


 * From Skype:
 * (Charles asks) I would like you to think of a resolution you would like to personally make for the coming year in relation to your mission. Will also talk about what we would like to accomplish as a group of missionaries this year.

His ward made a resolution to create a spiritual ward by doing temple work - what can our group chose. Robin suggested contacting a certain number of new contributors and get them help. We need to keep them connected, get them used to reading their talk pages. So many don't even have them. Perhaps we can tell them that the team will make them a talk page (and perhaps their sandbox page).

active users

That sounds like a project, not necessarily a goal. (Personal). Charles wants to make lesson material. Perhaps there is a more personal goal each of us can work towards and Skype Charles. Write it down to stay focused. "What would YOU like to do to enhance the Wiki during 2014." Mark mentioned when you verbalize a goal its more realistic it will happen. Also when you share it with others. ( a suggestion is find translator for a new language and change page. Robin's goal: Working with the team to contact active contributors and help them develop User pages, Talk pages, etc

' Charles willing to teach JQuery and JavaScript - Robin, Diana, and Linda interested in learning. More dynamic programming.'


 * (Charles) needs skype name, email, and phone number for each missionary
 * (Linda) Timesheet.."SalesForceAmdocs/phones/patrolling" - ? for Charles...That likely should reflect Salesforce, but what about other ways patrons ask us to do work, such as "submit info to the wiki" or help with local patrons. What is headquarters looking for.   Add SalesForce.  Put everything that is not Salesforce or patrolling under Projects - Robin

per Robin: Submit info is a project

Follow-up from Last week:


 * 1) If you find extra large categories (1000 plus), let Sandra know - we need to keep them manageable
 * 2) Charles should have Dec hours. Get a new hours spreadsheet for 2014 if you haven't already
 * 3) Anomalies page

From Sandra: Answer about the page SearchAndReplace Anomalies this was a page created in 2011 at the same time we had over 800 broken links caused by a major change over in the Wiki from alpha to beta. At that time a computer programmer created this page I believe it was put in the wrong place. It is a list for very high level experts to work on. Lynda Avery and I both will NOT work on it. The items it shows us doing had connection to other pages and those changes were transferred to this page when we did those pages. I am trying to remove both duplicates and uncreated pages but that is the only items I feel OK with. Fran Jensen ask the creator about this page on his talk page back in 2011 https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/User:JensenFA. I moved this page to another location. ---FamilySearch Wiki:SearchAndReplace Anomalies this moves it out of the main pages and into our control more.

4. Tues. Devotional - can Janell or Giuseppe get us a link? We will ask Giuseppe when he returns next week - Robin

Patrolling and Amdocs Review

 * Did you see anything while patrolling this past week that would be interesting to discuss with the team?


 * 1) See what is being touched.

Barbara noticed this user working on English pages

https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Special:Contributions/Tanneri

The question we have is not on his work, but on the pages whose titles are just one word long i.e. Murton, Mytholmroyd, Nethethong, Newton

(these don't have a county or state listed, yet there are breadcrumbs) Can you explain to us how England divides their "cities" "counties" "states" like we have in the USA?


 * 1) Catch potenial attacks

Help with putting common errors you all see in editing and how to fix them on User:Ccsmith/sandbox/Common Wiki Fixes for all of us. We sometimes only see an error once in a while and can't remember what we did to fix it in the pass. We need one place we can go to find this help.

Assignments

 * What did you learn this week that you want to share?
 * What do you need help with?
 * Do you have questions or suggestions regarding others are working on?

Submit Information to the Wiki:  Does this seem to make any sense? - it came into "submit info to the Wiki" - I wonder if anyone finds validity in it. I know there is a page which, among other things, has suggestions for finding mother's maiden names. ~ Linda C first son named after the father's father second son after the mother's father third son after the father fourth son after the father's eldest brother
