What is Discord?
Discord is a popular chat program where users can chat by voice or text. Discord is approved for use on WikiTree.
The Wales Project's Discord server is titled WikiWales.
Why Use Discord for Genealogy Collaboration?
Discord enables rapid, back-and-forth communication. This can be very helpful for collaboration. Also, the conversations on Discord can be light and enjoyable. Conversations in our G2G discussion forum and in comments on profiles need to stay more strictly focused on genealogy because they are tracked in profile activity feeds and stored forever on WikiTree.
It is important to note our community's Courtesy Guidelines and Discussion Rules still apply.
WikiWales Discord Communication Channels
It is subdivided into "channels" for specific discussion subjects:
- # welcome - project members who join Discord will appear here to be welcomed
- # casual-chat - this channel is the place to make general comments and conversations
- # research-help - post here to request help with your research or to share research techniques and discoveries
- # g2g-feed - postings on WikiTree's G2G with a tag of Wales will appear here to alert project members who may help in providing an answer
The following channels allow members of teams in these groups to post discussions related to that group:
- # counties related to the County Teams - a forum to discuss county activities
