The FamilyPedia's purpose?
Hello everyone! Sometimes, about this great wiki, I think:
¿Who founded Familypedia? ¿What's the real purpose? ¿When it was founded? ¿Why did they choose family pages? I know, this is so confusing, hope ones reply me . Considering I not edit too many on this wiki, I've heared many about this. ¿How it feels have a wiki with many editors? we have more than 200 pages. We're the 2nd most big wiki (1st, ScratchPad Wiki).
On any time, this will be migrated to the UCP? This wiki uses the old classic editor and doesn't have Discussions. I think many about that. Another question is why doesn't have a Discord server, or, MediaWiki:ImportJS page: I know, the page exists, but all the scripts they imported are broken or archived. Why it doesn't have a …

I was wondering how to add the campaign box to a wiki
I work on a fictional war wiki and want to add campaginboxes and military navigation but whenever I try I just get script errors and broken templates. I was wondering if anyone can help?
- The underlying problem is that Wikia's version of LUA does not have all the features that the Wikipedia version has. This affects the handling of arguments. I see two different solutions:
- You can look through the edit history of the template you are interested in, and copy the last version before the conversion to LUA. This will work for old templates. You could also check Familypedia, and see if we are still using on old version.
- You could copy the template and associated module(s) from Wikipedia, and fix the argument handling code. I think I have got that t…

Thanks to tighter UK lockdowns (where one person in every 50 has COVID-19), Peter Calver has generously extended free subscribership of LostCousins. In normal times non-paying members can only register their ancestors who appeared in any of several censuses, but subscribers (and now anybody before January 19) can initiate contact with other members who share those ancestors - thus finding Lost Cousins.

Military history wiki has pulled ahead of us
https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Hub:Big_wikis shows that the Military History wiki has over 274,000 articles. Familypedia has been ahead of it for ages. Surely we believe genealogy is more important than military history????
I think those folks are copying items verbatim from wikipedia - whereas more of our pages are more unique research. MainTour (talk) 03:15, November 2, 2020 (UTC)

Cheney Tutor Era
Looking for information on the Cheney family during the Tutor ear in the UK. I am trying to trce my family history back from that period
Gail Wrona
Chester Chatter
When I visit old burial grounds. I generally take lots of
pictures, including many of gravestones that may not be directly
related to my lines. As a result I often end up with people that I
can’t tie into any of my existing lines, even though the surname
may be the same. Since one of my goals is to properly identify all
of these folks, it sometimes presents quite a challenge. One of
these challenges come from the burial ground of New Garden Friends
Meeting, where I found four Gregg graves that belong to a group of
siblings but I cannot place them. The stones, which are all of a
very similar style, are as follows: Margery Gregg: 1812-1895
Isaac H. Gregg : 1816-1904
George Gregg: 1821-189x
Harmon Gregg: 1826-1895 From the 1850 Census for Kennet…

Meghan married Harry
One and a half hours ago, American mixed-race actress Meghan Markle became the wife of Henry Windsor (1984), commonly known as Prince Harry. 11:40 a.m. GMT, which conveniently meant it was Saturday in nearly all the world. I've tidied up some of Meghan's ancestors' articles but there are a few more to be started!
Big question now - do we change their page names so as to mention the fact that Meghan is now Duchess of Sussex and Harry's her Duke?
- Well, we certainly don't add "Duchess of Sussex" tp her page
name, because that is just a married name, not a title in its own
right. Thurstan (talk) 21:47, May 19, 2018 (UTC)

Well we have it all answered here!

14,487 page views in one day
Something good must be happening to Familypedia. A few weeks ago I noted that our daily page views had briefly jumped up about 50% from the 8,000 average. Now:
- It's time for your daily dose of activity from Familypedia.
- 14,487 Pages Viewed
I wonder whether it's mostly about Doria Ragland, who has been featuring in the "More Familypedia" list quite often recently. Her now famous daughter's wedding is barely 3 months away.
Wikimedia genealogy update
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_genealogy_project discusses the project and invites registered users to indicate support or neutrality or opposition regarding the idea of creating a genealogy site as part of Wikimedia.
Familypedians who have not expressed an opinion are urged to look at that page and choose a stance. At last count there were 96 supporters. The organiser is keen to see 100.
11,238 page views in one day
Our usual page view tally is between 6,000 and 10,000, from what I vaguely recall of skimming the list I get each day. I wonder what gave us a sudden boost to 12,374 yesterday and 11,238 today. I suspect that it was nothing to do with the frequent recent winner, Eduard Einstein (1910-1965), who was in 8th place with only 340 views on the list I brought up a few minutes ago.
Top of today's list was Brahmin gotra system, with 1,952 views, but why would it be suddenly so much more popular than any other page? List of gotras was 2nd with 876.
The home page was 3rd with 761; maybe boosted by people interested in the Mayflower who had read my response to a Dick Eastman blog post about the Pilgrims. But they would surely have gone on to find a relat…

Jacinda Ardern genealogy
The world's youngest female national leader (and 13th-most-powerful female politician?) - New Zealand's new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has ancestry traceable back to at least the 12th century. We reproduce some of it here, combining compilations from other genealogy websites and reputable news companies. But her maternal ancestry is shadowy - can you help? Or can the DNA Detectives help?

Automatic welcome tool
- I've contacted FANDOM after noticing that automatic welcomes were being "signed" by an admin who has not edited in the past 6 weeks, whereas it is meant to use the name of the most-recently-editing admin. I also mentioned that numerous new contributors don't get the automatic welcome at all.

Thanks for the reply, George.
