The Help content in the Wiki is in need of evaluation and improvement. Help articles in the Wiki are all those articles that help contributors to the wiki know how to do all aspects of editing and contributing.

FAMILYSEARCH WIKI POLICY REVIEW[edit | edit source]
While we will not be revising the following FSW articles, we will be reviewing them, looking for:
- Information of a how-to nature that actually belongs in a Help article
- When this is found, it will be noted on the talk page, and then after discussion (or after a week if there is no discussion) it will be removed to a Help article).
- Help articles related to these articles
- If Help articles are found, we will do interlinking between the articles
- If Help articles are NOT found, they will be created as needed and then interlinking will be done.
- Mirrored Maintenance Templates for the various policies.
- The policies should be reviewed for whether or not a maintenance template should be created to go on articles to notify when policies are broken.
