Suggestions News and Updates (February 19th 2023) [closed]

Question

News

• Aded a few words (TBA, TBC, To be Advised, To be Confirmed) to Suggestion 7x4 Wrong word in ... At the moment the list contains: NMN, TBA, TBC, To be Advised, To be Confirmed, DontKnow, Do Not Know, Don't know, AKA, OR, NOT and Anonymous (on open profiles)
• Adjusted Error reporting for some Wales regions. The ones with sss and a dash. Changes are in 618 suggestion.
• Split Country index to Country and Region. There was a problem for some locations like Wales, where a country name was found in region. See the help page for details https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:WikiTree_Plus#srch1

Previous News

• See February Ask Aleš https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1530686/ask-ales-february-2023
• I added search results grouping. It is still in development but some examples are shown in this G2G post
• I added CC7 index to find all profiles within 7 degrees. It only searches but public relations, but that works fine with pre1700 profiles. To use it enter CC7=Trtnik-2 as a search keyword.
• I removed the search by Manager since managed profiles can be found using WikiTreeID in the Text search or more specific you can use Manager=Trtnik-2
• DNS for WikiTree+ has been changed from wikitree.sdms.si to plus.wikitree.com. For now both domains are working but I am slowly transitioning to the new URL. Everything is working as it was. You will only loose cookies, which is not that important.
• I changed the suggestion reports to list only open profiles in the date range columns and instead of open column, that used to list suggestions for all open profiles it is now Private column that lists all suggestions on private profiles. This change reduced the reports size and time to create almost by half. Reasoning was that private profiles are almost impossible to correct By a list, since only profile managers can correct them.

Hi Aleš,

Thanks for all your great work.

Something weird is going on with Western Australia. Last week 75,139 profiles, 4,979 errors (and similar numbers for previous weeks)

This week 43,589 profiles, 2,333 errors.

Yes, thank you Aleš for all your work. We have also noticed the Lancashire totals dropped a lot. At the bottom of the Unconnected page I see "Condition to prepare list (Country is England and Region is Lancashire). Profiles: 244567" 

However, when I do a search for country=england region=lancashire the total is 293917, which is about what we would expect based on previous numbers

Edited to add -- It looks like the tables are only looking at births - 244567 profiles for birthcountry=england birthregion=lancashire

Thanks for identifying the problem. It is now corrected and reports are being recreated. Affected were regional reports for Australis, England, Wales and Nerherlands.

Thank you!
