When content (text, pages, images, etc.) is deleted, "What FamilySearch Wiki is not" is commonly cited as explanation, and rightly so. Unfortunately, this is not particularly helpful or calming to the person(s) who put in time and effort to write the material. They often see it as their hard work being casually tossed away. The phrase "try another wiki" is also sometimes used, for similar intent.

In an effort to foster a spirit of WikiLove, this page provides some referrals to alternative outlets which do allow content that FamilySearch Wiki does not. Sometimes material is submitted that is perfectly factual and verifiable, but simply outside of the scope of FamilySearch Wiki. Just because the content does not belong here does not mean it does not have value.

Please consider directing people to these sites (or this page), rather than simply telling them that their contributions are not wanted.
