What is happening with the wiki?
We are working on infrastructure changes and an improved contributor experience. As a result of these updates we will no longer be using the wiki.
Over the coming weeks we will be transitioning help articles and project instructions from the wiki to the Support Center . There will be a few growing pains as we transition but we are hoping to make a smooth transition. Due to the ongoing changes edit capabilities on the wiki have now been shut off.
Moving away from the wiki will mean an increase in traffic to the message boards for questions and reviewer feedback. Posting messages on the appropriate message board will help contributors find project related information.
Although the project widgets haven’t been working well we will also lose this functionality – we are working on a solution to provide more statistics but this will take some time. You can view your 90 day stats and accuracy on the Dashboard and in the keying tool.
If you have questions or feedback please send us a message, worldarchivesproject@ancestry.com. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work on this transition and for your continued support of the World Archives Project!
Here is an example of what the project instructions will look like, https://goo.gl/GPx5Du .
