New Suggestion Request: Marriage in bio narrative, not in fields

Looking for text like '%marri[ea][dg]%' when database spouse fields are blank

example added to my profile, I had a couple others but lost track of them

Comments

How would this work if there is no profile for a spouse?  I often create a profile, list the marriage and any children in the biography, but don't have enough information to create the spouse's profile.  Such a one would fall under this suggested suggestion, but would remain in error as there is no way to add the marriage data to any data fields.

I think the same as 546 Wikidata-possible spouse; more sources might be needed, but it would be a note that data may be available to fill out the profile more completely.

Answer 1

I think the Database underlying The fields is unlikely to be altered. Why not just copy the marriage text into the Bio section? Lots of profiles have that though not in a standard Format.

Its already in the bio. But none of the marriage fields are filled out

Apologies- I misunderstood the proposal - it is for a new Suggestion not a suggestion!

Answer 2

I believe the program that searches for the "wrong" information only looks at the fields in the database -- not in the biography.

Yes, i know, that is why i am suggesting that one be created that looks at the bio

The automatic process only looks at the database as those fields are indexed. The bio is free-flowing text, none of which is indexed.
