TechWiki:Community portal

2012-05-03T21:46:50Z

Dwsmith2: /* Pages needing to be deleted? */ deleted links to pages that had been confirmed out of date and were then deleted

The '''Community Portal''' is the central place to find out what's happening on the [[Main_Page | LDSTech Wiki]] (see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal Community Portal] on [[Wikipedia:Main_Page|Wikipedia]] for a model). Learn what tasks need to be done, or get or post news about recent events or current activities. If you think something should be done, add it to the lists here, even if you don't have the time or expertise to create the content yourself.

== April tasks ==
The following pages need attention. Let's go through and complete these tasks during the month of April.

===Copyediting===

===Pages needing to be deleted?===
* The following pages need to be evaluated as to whether they still have current information. None of them is an active project. If the information is outdated, the pages should be deleted:
** '''[[Connect Project]]'''
** '''[[Digital Investigator Management]]'''
** '''[[New Zealand Financial CSV Conversion Project]]'''
** '''[[Mobile Water App]]'''

If the page should be deleted, add the <nowiki>{{delete|reason}}</nowiki> tag to the page, replacing the word "reason" with an explanation of why the page should be deleted. (Only admins can delete pages, but others can indicate that the page should be deleted.)

===Content improvement===

Let's edit the 10 most popular pages on the wiki to make them better. According to [[Special:Statistics]], these pages receive the most visits on the wiki. Go through and copyedit the content to improve it.

* '''[[Main Page]]''' - 462,500
* '''[[LDS Maps help/en]]''' - 175,695
* '''[[Calendar]]''' - 145,677
* '''[[Meetinghouse technology]]''' - 131,872
* '''[[Clerks]]''' - 101,360
* '''[[Gospel Library for Android]]''' - 83,222
* '''[[Gospel Library for eBooks]]''' - 69,413
* '''[[LDSTech Service Days]]''' - 67,655
* '''[[LDS Tools for iPhone - Known Issues]]''' - 64,246
* '''[[Gospel Library for BlackBerry installing binaries]]''' - 60,209

===Portals needed===
We currently have six portals on the [[Main Page]]. We should add a portal page for the following:

'''[[Mobile portal|Mobile applications]]'''
:[[User:Spankston|Spankston]] 20:05, 30 March 2012 (UTC) is working on this.

'''[[Stake technology specialists]]'''

'''[[Website administrators]]'''

'''[[Project managers]]'''

'''[[Volunteers portal]]'''

Note that the callings group will probably be a sub-portal, such as "Browse by Calling."

=== General maintenance ===
As you edit pages, here are some ways to mark pages:

* '''Request''': If you have an idea for a helpful article or wiki feature, but don't have time or ability or inclination to create it, record the idea in [[LDSTech:New wiki content requests|new wiki content requests]].
* '''Wikify''': Follow the [[LDSTech:Guidelines|guidelines]] to make articles use links, headings, sources, templates, and categories in a standard way.
* '''Annotate''': Use templates to flag articles that need attention if you are unable to make the necessary changes.
** {{tl|Stub}} flags articles or sections that are incomplete and need to be expanded
** {{tl|Draft}} flags articles that are in a Draft stage and not approved as authoritative yet
** {{tl|Edit}} flags articles or sections that need to be rewritten
** {{tl|ToDo}} flags articles or sections that have tasks that need to be accomplished
** {{tl|Need Input}} flags articles or sections that are in need of input
** {{tl|Unresolved}} flags Talk Page discussions that are currently unresolved
** {{tl|Resolved}} flags Talk Page discussions that have been resolved
** {{tl|Under construction}} flags pages (for a brief time) pages that are undergoing major construction
* '''Create''': If there is a topic you think needs to be addressed, create a new article. If your page is related to a project, please follow the [[Development Project Guidelines]]. Also, a red link anywhere on this wiki indicates that someone thought an article ''should'' exist, but they didn't have the time or expertise to write it themselves. If you can, get that topic started by writing the first draft yourself. You can see the entire list of such articles at [[Special:Wantedpages]]; also see [[LDSTech:New wiki content requests|New wiki content requests]] for additional desired articles.
* '''Expand''': Some articles may be incomplete stubs which should be improved by fleshing out the content. You can see the entire list of such articles at [[:Category:Stubs]].
* '''Resource''': Add attachments or links to sample documents, spreadsheets, or templates that will add breadth and depth to the articles.
* '''Copyedit''': Fix grammar, punctuation, style to be more accurate, and in accordance with the [[LDSTech:Manual of Style|LDSTech Style Guide]].
* '''Source''': Although opinions and personal ideas can be helpful, statements purported to be official Church policy will be more effective if backed up from [[official sources]].
* '''See also''': Adding "See also" sections to the end of articles can improve navigation
* '''Add missing standard pages''': Several pages have standard links in the user interface of the wiki, but have not been written yet. These include:
** '''[[LDSTech:Copyrights]]''': Write/Edit this page, which is linked to from the Editing page that appears whenever you edit a page; this should briefly explain Public Domain, Fair Use, and improper use of copyrighted materials.
** '''[[Help:Editing]]''': Write/Edit this page, which is linked to from the Editing page that appears whenever you edit a page; this should give help with the actual editing process, and link to the [[Guidelines]] page and other helpful existing pages. Currently this simply redirects to [[Help:Contents]].
* '''User page''': Add your own [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_page user page] to give people some idea of your background and experience. A user page also gives you a place to create your own sandbox using [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages subpages].

=== Needs attention or action ===
For a list of pages needing discussion, input, or specific actions, review the following category pages:

:[[:Category:Need Input]]
:[[:Category:Help Needed]]
:[[:Category:ToDo]]
:[[:Category:Unresolved]]

=== Cleanup ===
For a list of pages needing cleanup, review the following category pages:

:[[:Category:Stubs]]
:[[:Category:Pages to be edited]]
:[[:Category:Drafts]]

== Guidelines, help, and resources ==
=== Guidelines ===
* Consult the [[LDSTech:Guidelines|Guidelines]] page so that the content you create can be consistent across the wiki.
* The [[LDSTech:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] provides guidelines for usage and spelling of Church-specific terms.

=== Help ===
[[Help:Contents]]: Flesh out this page which is linked to from the main navigation panel displayed to the left of every page, as well as from the Search Results page.

Official communications

2012-05-01T21:51:37Z

Dwsmith2: added link to IPO wiki page under new See also section to remove orphan status of IPO page

'''Official Communications''' are sent by mail to stake presidents, and usually also to bishops. Wards and stakes should file printed copies of these letters. Electronic versions are sent to stake presidents via an official e-mail account and are also available in an online repository. Some selected letters are made public on [http://www.lds.org lds.org] or the [http://www.ldschurchnews.com/letters/ LDS Church News]. Occasionally e-mail will be sent to stake clerks or stake technology specialists.

== ldsmail.net E-Mail account ==
[[LDSMail]] is an email system for church leaders and missionaries. Each stake is issued an official e-mail account at [http://www.ldsmail.net www.ldsmail.net], which only the stake president may access. The login for the account is the stake's unit number, but it is not accessible until the account has been activated for use with ldsmail.net.

To activate the stake president's account, call church headquarters and ask for the LDS leader e-mail. They will confirm your stake data and send an initial password key to your stake president by regular mail. Using the password key you can login and access the ldsmail account.

Official letters will be sent to the e-mail account. Other messages may also be sent to the stake's e-mail address by general authorities, area authorities, mission presidents, temple presidents, regional welfare personnel, and other stake presidents.

== Online Official Communication Library ==
An official repository of communications is stored at [http://letters.lds.org letters.lds.org]. The site requires LDSAccount credentials to access. As communications become out of date, they are removed from the repository.

The [[letters and policies archive]] on the Clerk Wiki is a collection of documents relevant to clerks that were originally posted to the Official Communication Library.

== LDS Church News ==
The [http://www.ldschurchnews.com LDS Church News] will occasionally publish those letters that the Church chooses to make public. These are collected on a web page titled [http://www.ldschurchnews.com/letters/ First Presidency Letters].

== E-Mail sent to clerks ==
Sometimes the Church will send notifications of new [[MLS]] software versions or other pertinent information to [[Stake Clerk|stake clerks]] or [[Stake Technology Specialist|stake technology specialists]]. People with those callings can insure that they get the necessary e-mail by:
* Making sure that their preferred e-mail address is correctly specified in their user profile of the [[Local Unit Website]];
* Making sure that the leadership directory of the local unit website has them listed in the appropriate callings
