Did you know... to look for "de Vere" profiles after Z entries?

Question

With the new look for Category pages, a lowercase alphabetical listing of profiles follows the uppercase listing! I periodically run through the profiles categorized to project categories (such as Category: Magna Carta).

I'm pretty sure that before space pages were listed separately from people profiles (a huge improvement), WikiTree ignored whether or not the initial letter of the person's profile was uppercase or lowercase. So I was surprised to see entries after "Z" - "a", "d" and "f", in the case of the Magna Carta category.

Not complaining - just sharing.

Hmm... maybe it's not universal. I wanted to give an example of "v" and there isn't one! I found profiles starting with both uppercase and lowercase names at https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:New_Netherland_Project-Managed&from=V#Persons

Which made me go look for French "l"s ... that I found at https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:New_Netherland_Ancestors&from=Z#Persons - along with "v"s! (But du Bois was under "D" in the Estimated Birth Category - accented capital letters followed the A-Z listings there.) And at https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Quebecois_Project&from=Z#Persons you find Z, d, l, and É on a page all together (not even a "Z" heading).

Not sure of the rhyme or reason behind when the headings after "Z" are used (or not) or when a profile beginning with a lowercase letter is listed with those beginning with an uppercase, but just wanted to share with y'all to look for names after the Z too.

Cheers, Liz

edit - changed "medieval" tag to "dutch_cape_colony" ... only 6 tags allowed

edit2 - changed "dutch_cape_colony" to "tech"

Thanks Liz, did not know this ...

tag tech please

---

Done. Thanks Danielle.

---

What happened to the tech tag?

---

hmm. dunno. I was going to say I probably forgot to add it, but I just added it again & it's not there (again).

aha -

Formerly used for WikiTree technical topics, but is no longer allowed as a G2G tag. Instead, place your question in "WikiTree Tech" and consider tagging with "bugs" (for possible bugs), "improvements" (for suggestions or requests for changes), "sysops" (if you think a sysop needs to intervene), or "outage" (if an online system or feature may have stopped working). May also refer to the surname "Tech." - edit

Now that you mention it, I have some foggy recollection of that not being used any more.  How about recategorizing to WikiTree Tech instead of the Tree House?

Edit:  We were posting at the same time!

3rd time's a charm - tagged "bugs" & changed from Tree House to WikiTree Tech.

I knew this, but I greatly appreciate that you are sharing the info with everyone!

Thanks for the examples, I'll take a look at what's going on.

hi Liz,

I have also noticed this change in listings of profiles in categories.  It also puts any names starting with Π É and other such at the end, rather than recognizing them as being I and E with accents. Wish someone would fix this, rather annoying when looking for profiles.  Think it may be linked to recent work done on ''illegal characters'' like < > that were found in location categories.  That had a few problems which later got resolved.
