Allow Research WIKI editing of information on the Find a Family Search Center page.
I am trying to edit the hours for our local FamilySearch center on the page https://www.familysearch.org/centers/locations/ . Although I have editing rights, I find no way to edit the box that appears when specifying the desired FamilySearch Center. The hours posted in the box for our local center are incorrect. The hours are correct on the referenced website page but who will look there when they already have the hours (although incorrect) in the box provided? If there already exists a way to edit the content of that box, it is not obvious how to do it.

I am not connected with FamilySearch.
I believe, from what I have read, currently only the Family History Center Director can edit the information that appears on https://www.familysearch.org/centers/locations/
There may be some more information in the Group https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/76-familysearch-center-technical-support
I believe that this is too exclusive, and I have suggested in the past, (some years ago probably) that there should be an email address, where members of the public can write to, to advise that details need to be changed, but no notice was taken of this suggestion, so it seems as though the current system will continue.

NormMcClellen,
If I am understanding what you are saying about 'the box' the (incorrect) hours are appearing in, I wonder if you have to go into CDOL to change them. Like you, I also have editing rights to change/edit things on our FHC wiki page but the box you are talking about is edited via CDOL (Church Directory of Organization and Leaders), which because of my calling: Stake Temple and Family History Consultant - Family History Centre (STFHC-FHC), I also can edit those details on CDOL. If you are responsible for the FHC, either talk you to your priesthood leader or FHC support contact about how to get into CDOL.
So to recap, the two sightings of the hours a FHC is opened are the wiki website page and the 'locations' box for your FHC that you included the link for in your question. Both are edited via different ways, as i mention above. Hope this helps.

Again, this problem has raised its ugly head. FamilySearch has recently modified the way it displays information for the FamilySearch Centers around the world. The one for the Orem Utah Sunset Heights FamilySearch Center was created - posting the hours incorrectly when it is open. I see no way to edit this page. It shows the hours to be "M & F 10 A.M.-4 P.M.; T-Th 10 A.M.-4 P.M. & 6:30-9 P.M.;". This should be changed to be "M & Th 10 A.M.-4 P.M., T & W 10 A.M.-4 P.M. & 6:30-9 P.M., F 10 A.M.-1 P.M.". Please notify those those who can modify that page (https://locations.familysearch.org/en/us/ut/orem/1260-south-400-west?qp=Orem%2C+Utah%2C+United+States&lat=40.297183&lng=-111.694943&r=25) of this change. There is also a URL on that page pointing to our blog site. Could that URL be converted into a link that one can actually click on? Thanks, Norm McClellan
