=== Category:Arkansas Counties ===

Hi Wilma,

The Category:Arkansas Counties has a lower case "c".  Sorry but better now then when all the changes are already made. The page looks great. [[User:Sandralpond|Sandralpond]] 00:36, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi again, This is Sister Kennedy. There is another 'uncategorized file' of some cute children on the maintenance page. https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/File:Records_Misc2.JPG. Just letting you know. I don't want to put it in the wrong category. Thanks, Sister Sandra Kennedy

[Linktodatabase database description] at Ancestry.com (Free<ref>May be used for free at Family History Centers. To locate a center near you, [https://familysearch.org/locations/centerlocator click here].</ref>/$) 

=== Use Height rather than Percent  ===

On the length of a page, percentage does not work as their is no limit as to length of a page as there is a limit as to the width. How do you tell a page that you can be 130% of infinity? What you have to do is specify a length in pixels which I have done. You will see it at the very top of the edit box next to the width. I have it set for 2000 pixels but you can change it.

== In Process Page  ==

Hi Wilma, I received your message on my talk page and reviewed your in-process page. Wow, what a huge project! I like what I saw and have not come up with any new ideas yet. You are very thorough. However, I will continue to check the page and think about it and if I come up with anything I will contact you again. Sincerely [[User:Parrisl|Parrisl]] 20:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC) 

== Help Pages  ==

Hi Wilma, I am on a committee to review and create Help pages. I noted your suggestion for a page "Add everything vs. highlight best sources: help contributors choose as well as inform users how to find additional sources." Could you give me some more information about this request so I will have a better idea about how to proceed? For instance, do you have examples of overuse of citations, etc. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter. Sincerely [[User:Parrisl|Parrisl]] 01:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC) &nbsp; 

== Wiki Newsletter<br>  ==

Hi Wilma! &nbsp;Hope all is well! I was not able to access forums - has it changed? Here is the problem. The Wiki Newsletter, after I accessed it from the Wiki homepag,e does not link to the articles on the [http://click.familysearch.ldschurch.org/redirect_error.html newsletter]. It gives a Redirect Error:&nbsp;"We cannot direct you to the requested web page at this time. Please try again."&nbsp;It would be nice to read these articles. Perhaps this is temporary. What would you suggest? &nbsp; 

I tried your your but must not have your current email. &nbsp;If you have a minute, could you contact me via email me or leave a note on my user page? Thank you! &nbsp;Also I forgot how to sign these!&nbsp;:( &nbsp;[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/User_talk:Ckwahlquist Kara]

You're welcome. They've digitized all those great Family Map books. And Sanpete is one of them. [[User:Murphynw|Murphynw]] 20:25, 19 April 2013 (UTC) 

== FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Experimental County  ==

I am impressed with the work you contribute to the Wiki. However, in patrolling the revision of line 670 on the above mentioned page, the tip seems a bit confusing. [[User:Parrisl|Parrisl]] 21:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC) 

:Good job! The tip is very understandable now, like the rest of the work you do.

== Utah Stillbirths<br>  ==

I wouldn't want to mess up existing plans for this project plus I have plenty of other wiki duties on my plate, therefore I will mention this to you to work into your plan somehow.<br> 

Be aware that Utah stillbirths are kept separate from Utah death records and have different limitations. This information is not readily available on the state VR website. A separate form is required to obtain a stillbirth record for a closest nearest relative, these aren't released to the general public until 70 (75?) years after the stillbirth, and the exact year needs to be known (if under the 70-75 year limit; even though a range of years is acceptable for searching for a death record). No doubt there is other information that warrants being mentioned relating to this subject.<br>

== Email notifications  ==

Wilma, could you please give me a URL for one of the pages you're watching, and also check to see if the button for emails in your preferences is grayed out? &nbsp;I need the information for the tech guys. &nbsp;Thanks![[User:Averyld|averyld]] 14:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Wilma, are you getting notifications yet? &nbsp;James Tanner got a bunch all of a sudden.[[User:Averyld|averyld]] 14:33, 31 October 2012 (UTC) 

:Check the staging site and see if your preferences are still grayed out. I think they've got it fixed there. Now, we just need to get them to implement it. https://stage.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 16:58, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Wilma, will you check the staging site once again and see if it looks like your email notifications are correct? &nbsp;They think they've fixed it and plan a release for tomorrow. &nbsp;Thanks, Lynda [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 19:34, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

== Tuedsay Meeting Agenda  ==

Wilma, I changed day of the Tuesday meeting but didn't move the future agenda's. &nbsp;Do you want to take care of that, or should I?[[User:Averyld|Lynda]] 21:20, 19 June 2012 (UTC) 

:Wilma, I made the changes. Thanks for your sweet compliment![[User:Averyld|Lynda]] 15:51, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

== Contributor meeting projects  ==

Wilma, do you think we could add a section to the Contributors needed page for proposed projects, like the one we discussed today, or should we have a separate page? Would we need to assign someone to keep an eye on those so they don't get forgotten? 

Also, please update me on the rights you need in the wiki so I can make sure you have all you need. We were also wondering about Joy having deletion rights and why she would need those.[[User:Averyld|averyld]] 21:26, 7 February 2013 (UTC) 

:Wilma, love your ideas for the project page! I'll play with that or get someone to do it. [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 15:30, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Wilma, take a look at my [[User:Averyld/Sandbox|sandbox]] and see if I'm on the right track. [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 23:04, 12 February 2013 (UTC) 

:Wilma, take a look at my user page now and let me know if it's ok and also, what do you think about a title of "Suggested Future Projects". Trying not to make it too long.[[User:Averyld|averyld]] 20:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I was planning on the same name space as the Community Meetings and would put a link on the main page for the meetings to this new page. I'll put this on tomorrow's agenda and see if we can come up with a name that works, but isn't too long. I also wondered putting projects in the title. That was just one suggestion that I got. Thanks, Wilma. I always appreciate your input.[[User:Averyld|averyld]] 23:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

== Wiki Projects  ==

Wilma, what do you think about having a page that shows a list of completed Wiki projects? &nbsp;And do you have any suggestons for showing that a project is finished - especially when searching. &nbsp;Should the title be changed with "finished" at the end or something? &nbsp;I'm putting together a spreadsheet of all the projects I can find with their current status, leader, etc. [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 22:07, 7 December 2012 (UTC) 

<br> 

Thanks, Wilma. &nbsp;Will welcome any suggestions you might have. [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 19:58, 10 December 2012 (UTC) 

Wilma, I'm glad you like the idea of the finished projects page.&nbsp; I haven't had time to get it done yet.&nbsp; We are in Provo, helping my 93 year old mother, but I'll get that taken care of as soon as I&nbsp;can.[[User:Averyld|averyld]] 20:31, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== Name change  ==

In doing my deletion of pages I found someone changed your page named FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Illinois "Fixi Wiki" Ideas to FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Illinois "Fix the Wiki" Ideas and the Category to Category:Projects-Fix the Wiki. Hope this is not a problem. Had a feeling they did not let you know. [[User:Sandralpond|Sandralpond]] 23:26, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

== County Seat Pages  ==

Just want you input on the following way to connect the info on the County seat pagwes to the county pages. See [[Outagamie County, Wisconsin]] how it show links to Appleton, Wisconsin. See sections Church History and Records, Directories, History, Newspapers, and Societies. Also a link under Other Wiki Pages. What do you think? [[User:Sandralpond|Sandralpond]] 15:00, 11 June 2014 (UTC) 

:I think your links fill the need, Sandra. If, however, Church Records, for example, on the county page were further divided into Catholic, Methodist, etc. how would you see those links? Perhaps the same, just a link to the city page? Haven't encountered the problem to think it through enough.[[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 21:11, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Wilma, 

Love the new Pages  Just asking for you to add a category to them. Thanks so much. [[User:Sandralpond|Sandralpond]] 14:50, 25 August 2014 (UTC) 

:Thanks, Sandra. Will do! Sorry I forgot.

== User sandboxes  ==

Dear Wilma, 

"User:sandboxes" are automatically put in the hidden User category as long as they have "User:" at the beginning. No need to put a category on them. [[User:Sandralpond|Sandralpond]] 21:03, 16 November 2014 (UTC) 

== Uncategorized file  ==

Hi Wilma, I help clean up "uncategorized files' on the Wiki and you have a file- https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/AR_County_Banners_Narrow - that has no category and is in this file. Do you want it to stay there for some reason or does it just need a category to place it in the correct file? I will leave it there for a few days or until I hear from you as to what you would like done with it. Thanks for looking into this. Sister Sandra Kennedy

Hi Wilma,

Template/Doc pages have the same category as the Template page. Thanks for asking.  [[User:Sandralpond|Sandralpond]] 23:42, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
==Template category changes==

Actually the templates I have changed came from the "Wanted templates" list in Special Pages.  They are there because the have '''no category''' on them at all.  A bunch of them actually have been deleted by you and when you look at them they link to sandboxes.  You can label them however you like. [[User:Hanna5974|Hanna5974]]
