	== ~~List of trail pages marked as needing KML work~~ ==		== Welcome back ==
			Welcome back! Thanks for the update. I've been occasionally futzing around with this site as you may have noticed. I have overhauled the trail page editing system. [[Warriors' Path State Park]] is usually my test bed. [[Bays Mountain Park]] Trails are mid-conversion.

	~~You mention having KMLs/GPS paths. You may have noticed me going through~~ the pages ~~tagging~~ "~~needs~~"~~. Here's a list of~~ pages ~~currently flagged with missing KML's or needing KML updates if you want to match up with what you have~~. ~~Eventually this will be part of a trail search template/~~form~~/page~~. ~~This kind of query can~~ also ~~be used on maps, exported~~ to ~~Excel~~, ~~etc~~. It's ~~discovery is what really kicked~~ the ~~interest in the Trail Wiki into high gear for myself~~. ~~I'll go ahead and show the map as an example~~. ~~Not every trail will pin as many infoboxes (the template text at the beginning) hasn't been updated to the new format that interprets~~ the ~~data as searchable information. Feel free to play around if you are so inclined~~.		Currently there are the "old format" pages and the "new format" pages. New format is now "form editable." There are also new templates to work better. Automatic park trail tables, and a few others currently escaping me. Most notably are Trail Maps which also provide a link to upload KML's to the page. No more FTP needed. And marker pins are on a tab in the Form Edit view.

	~~Also as someone~~ that ~~has used other trail sites~~, ~~I'm interested in~~ your ~~thoughts~~ of ~~ideas/deficiencies/improvements and get them incorporated into the work list~~. ~~--[[User:Tim\|Tim]] ([[User talk:Tim\|talk]]) 22:39~~, ~~30 October 2015 (EDT)~~		I converted Chimney Top since you edited it.

			== List of trail pages marked as needing KML work ==

			You mention having KMLs/GPS paths. You may have noticed me going through the pages tagging "needs". Here's a list of pages currently flagged with missing KML's or needing KML updates if you want to match up with what you have. Eventually this will be part of a trail search template/form/page. This kind of query can also be used on maps, exported to Excel, etc. It's discovery is what really kicked the interest in the Trail Wiki into high gear for myself. I'll go ahead and show the map as an example. Not every trail will pin as many infoboxes (the template text at the beginning) hasn't been updated to the new format that interprets the data as searchable information. Feel free to play around if you are so inclined.

			Also as someone that has used other trail sites, I'm interested in your thoughts of ideas/deficiencies/improvements and get them incorporated into the work list. --[[User:Tim\|Tim]] ([[User talk:Tim\|talk]]) 22:39, 30 October 2015 (EDT)

			Thank you. I'm an avid hiker for both the east TN and western NC area. I've used this site several times for info and I thought it might be time to start giving back. I can see many things that I could contribute from my own hikes even if it's just a GPX track. Just need to learn how this works.
