Help:Notes for Users

The Family Tree Forum Wiki

This section of the site has been created as a repository for reference information that has previously been stored within threads in the forums. This has had the effect of splitting the site into definitive Reference and Forum sections

All users will have the ability to create and edit (but not delete) pages within the Wiki. These creations and amendments will be tracked by members of the Site Content and Development team to ensure conformity with layout as well as preventing undesirable content from remaining on the site.

If you wish to create content, please read the Help:Notes for Editors first to familiarise yourself. Any content not formatted to the style of the rest of the site will be amended.
