- This week I connected many profiles with a link to wikipedia or wikidata, that were not connected automatically on a weekly check. That is the reason for slight increase in Wikidata suggestions. BTW: There are 232.129 profiles connected from Wikidata.
- FindAGrave update is progressing nicely. It is almost caught up. The gap is now at 3 months. With the new update approach I anticipated to get the gap down to 6 month, but it seems I will be able to further reduce it to a single month. That actually means that a change on Findagrave will be represented in suggestions within a month. BTW: There are 3.927.624 links to FindAGrave.
- Another new suggestion is about Free Space Pages included into the profiles. That is not allowed on WikiTree. Error 892: Space page used as template and Error 893: Space page used as transclusion
- During last week I Aded suggestions Warning 419: Unmarried parents with no marriage and Warning 420: Unmarried parents with other marriages. Those are possible missing marriages on parents profiles.
- FindAGrave suggestions update is catching up. Now all changes on FindaGrave done more than a year ago are updated. My estimate is that the difference between FindAGrave change and WikiTree+ data will be 2-3 months. I just need to catch up. I think I will do that by the end of the year.
- Histograms in the Country table weren't updated on a weekly bases. Now they are. https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTShowTable/Table.htm?table=Countries&filter=Oceania&Histogram=1
- I added new Magic keyword, that finds profiles without specific relations.
- noparents: Limits results to profiles, that have no parents.
- nofather: Limits results to profiles, that have no father.
- nomother: Limits results to profiles, that have no mother.
- nochildren: Limits results to profiles, that have no children.
- nospouses: Limits results to profiles, that have no spouses.
- Newest addition to search is a capability to search in subcategories. SubCat0, SubCat1, ..., SubCat9 defines the number of subcategory levels to include in the results. The Category name should be enclosed in double quotes if it includes spaces. Just add:as a keyword:
- subcat1="Asia, Unsourced Profiles"
- subcat9="Unsourced Profiles" Not subcat0="Unsourced Profiles" This returns all profiles in Unsourced Profiles subcategories, that are not in the Unsourced Profiles Category itself.
- I changed the creation of all WikiTree+ pages to optimize the UTF8 support. I did test most of the pages but if you see invalid utf-8 characters in any report, let me know.
- I extended the search capabilities on Space pages. Now it searches all nonprofile pages. That includes Space:, Project:, Help;, Categories;, Templates; and Main namespaces. Here is an example to search by title https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch7&Query=Acadian and by page content https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch8&Query=Acadian
- Suggestions now became a part of Edit Page. You can set Corrected or False suggestion there. Both can/should have a comment. And that is integrated in WT+ suggestion system. It is synced in a few minutes.
- I added new reports that group Countries by Century. Automated:Group_Country_by_Century
