"These WikiTreers are trusted to view and edit (this person's profile). Since the profile is Open, other WikiTreers who have signed the Wiki Genealogist Honor Code can also make edits."
First, I need the history of the problem. How did the above quote come to be? Second is why I will be proposing a change: WikiTree, by only having 'manager' and 'trusted' on the WatchList, has reduced me to "the practice of imploring others to grant a favor." [https://www.askdifference.com/beggar-vs-begger/ Ask Difference.]
Wanting just to add more information as I find it to profiles I've sourced, I have to please,please to people who either don't respond or are no longer active on WikiTree. I want to propose a change, but first need the history of this problem.
Thanks for educating me about this, B.
-----------------
Update: I just sent out this under comments on a profile that still needs a marriage reference:
"I have requested that profiles which still need some sourcing can be added to the watchlist, without having to go through the hoops of this requesting and adding more 'work' for others to do."
The next set of "let's work them" would be the unresponsive profile manager form. All because emails slip through to the 'later' pile.
Just to be clear: This is not about wanting to be a PM, nor is it about wanting to be 'trusted.' It is just simply about a way to flag profiles that still need more sources. And, these are direct ancestors and their siblings.
Solution at hand:
There is a watchlist box under the search at the top of the page on profiles I manage. Might the change I am requesting include dropping the id # into that box and have the profile show-up on my watchlist? Maybe with a red dot before it reminding me to use etiquette and let the PM know I am working on 'his/her' profile?
Oh, and please make the id # column on the watchlist sortable. That would line people up by birth name.
So, there are two requests here:
The one directly above (sortable) and freedom to choose what shows-up on a watchlist.
Thank you, B.
