  Purpose

The Genealogical Services Wiki Advisory Council provides recommendations about Wiki structure, administration, and content in an advisory capacity.  This council communicates their recommendations and suggestions with those within the Wiki community who may wish to implement and facilitate improvements.  The Wiki community, defined herein, includes FamilySearch employees, missionaries, and individual community members. One of this council’s primary objectives is to help Wiki become a self-sufficient entity through community resources.

This council will seek to facilitate a more productive and useful Wiki experience for both new and experienced users through recommendations that may help to—

  • resolve user problems with the Wiki
  • improve structure and style of the Wiki
  • provide more user-friendly content, especially for the beginner
    • enhance the training experience for new Wiki contributors
    • clarify Wiki governance issues
    • suggest functions and features requests
    provide ways in which to increase community support and leadership
