#2 FamilySearch Research Wiki: Updated

The FamilySearch Research Wiki (https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page) has been updated. We have moved to the most current, stable version of WikiMedia. This has made some changes to where you access options on the pages, but we can now correct problems we couldn’t fix in the earlier research wiki platform.

How is it different?

• New URL. The wiki now has a new URL (https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page)

• Navigation on the left. The update moves the navigation to the left side, making it consistent with other wikis using the MediaWiki software.

​

• Personal Tools. In the earlier wiki, the Personal Tools option was on the right side. Those options are still available, but now when you sign in, they appear after your name in the top right portion of the screen. ​

• Same articles. All the articles that were in the previous wiki are in the update.

• Bookmarks still work. If you’ve bookmarked articles, when you click the bookmark, the system will redirect you to the new page.

• New editing tool. When you add information to the wiki, you’ll now be using VisualEditor to format the information when you click the Edit tab. Clicking on the Edit Source tab will still allow you to edit in wikitext.

• All browsers. You can now contribute to the wiki using any popular browser. (Chrome users rejoice!)

• New look for the state and country pages. We are in the process of giving a new look to the state and country pages. 

# 3 FamilySearch Research Wiki: Easy Access to Online                  Genealogy Records 

Did you know the research wiki has a page with links to online genealogy records? The page is easy to get to and easy to use. The links include collections that are not available on FamilySearch.org.

1.   On any research wiki page, look at the navigation on the left.
2. Click Online Genealogy Records. A page appears with the list of links. 

    3. Click the country, province, state, or county records you are interested in. The system                displays a page with links to the online records for that place. There may be a brief                      description of contents. If there is a cost to use the records, you will see ($) after the                  collection name.
