About the date guess template, I was wondering about that one, if we mark dates as uncertain or about , isn't that telling us the same and enough ?
Many if not most of the Pre-1700 profiles have a Birthdate that's estimated, a guess, or about, many of them were from times were there simply were no Church books, records or all was lost by floods, wars etc. and I think we all know this, so maybe I don't understand or know something, but I'm missing the point or purpose for this one ?
And not really templates but related , I sometimes have to explain why we have all these templates and categories: I try to explain it like this: think of Wikitree as an Encyclopedia , the projects , sub projects and some of the free spaces, are the books or parts (chapters/sub chapters/pages) of the different books , the inventory pages (= the top level category pages) are the pages where you can find all chapters (People and places, categories) and sub-chapters (sub categories) and than that's where you will find the profile you are looking for. Clicking on the categories/templates placed at the profile will take you to the chapter (category) or page (sub category) where you will find all profiles or pages with this same category added.(so part of the same project, born in the same country, time range, province, place , a refugee and so on)
Now it's like this, everyone is allowed and can create categories,but instead of making the ''books'' of our Encyclopedia more easy to read, now sometimes it's like a jungle of categories where people totally get lost and confused.
Maybe we should think of a solution for this as well. So if people want to work with or add new categories, they first have to discuss things and or join the category project first , many categories are already present , sometimes just slightly different or wrong spellings are used or new ones for the same ''subject'' are created with again a different wording or spelling and this is causing quite a chaos and a lot of work for the members of the Categorization Project, who are trying so very hard to keep and get things organized .
Wrong / duplicate categories , maybe could be removed (merged ?) and some people are asking if we really need a category or template for every little detail or if this is overdue as well ?
