Previous News

• I made it possible to see when a certain location ending is used. It is available on each country view. The link looks like this: https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTShowTable/Table.htm?table=Countries&filter=SAU You can turn it on/off with a link in the header on each country page (Show date histograms).
• Added all missing small countries in the location table.
• Changed the date limits on Swedish 911 and 912 suggestions.
• Added support for cemeteries to WikiTree+ Maps. Cemeteries are displayed as an extended line from death location to the cemetery. Example: https://wikitree.sdms.si/findmap.htm?aid=Pokopali%C5%A1%C4%8De_%C5%BDale%2C_Ljubljana%2C_Slovenija&grouptype=C
• I resolved the problems with non roman letters on WikiTree+. Full utf8 support was added to WT+ search index. And now you can search for chinese, japanese, cyrillic greece, and other scripts on wikitree+. https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC&MaxProfiles=500 It works also in name searches.
• Many new location endings were added to the locations table to improve the country recognition. Special focus was on non roman letters. For instance Japan was extended ot recogniye 1st level reagions. https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTShowTable/Table.htm?table=Countries&filter=JPN
• I released 12 new suggestions related to locations. First three in each group are calculated only for orphan profiles and the fourth is for all profiles. Those are:
  • 615 Birth Location Country not recognised, 616 Abbreviated Birth location Country not recommended, 617 Ambiguous Birth location Country not recommended and 618 Birth Location Country not preferred by project.
  • 645 Death Location Country not recognised, 646 Abbreviated Death location Country not recommended, 647 Ambiguous Death location Country not recommended and 648 Death Location Country not preferred by project.
  • 675 Marriage Location Country not recognised, 676 Abbreviated Marriage location Country not recommended, 677 Ambiguous Marriage location Country not recommended and 678 Marriage Location Country not preferred by project.
  • I added new way to search for suggestions. Since suggestion index is not as advanced and Profiles search index, I added a possibility to search for suggestions in Profile search result. On all search results I added a link to display suggestions on profiles found. The link is in the header "Search for Suggestions on results." That makes it possible to use any magic words for profiles also on suggestion reports. Check it out for instance for all profiles that were living in 1710s https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=isinwikidata+1710s And this is the actual resulting page. https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTWebAll/Suggestions.htm?Query=isinwikidata%201710s&profilesearch=1
