I would like to make some suggestions for Wikitree and see what others think about them. I absolutely love Wikitree and feel a little disloyal even making suggestions; nevertheless, for what they’re worth here are some. (I realize there are work-a-rounds for some of these and probably some are already available and I just don’t know how to do them. Some, it seems to me, would be quite easy to add; others, probably quite difficult or impossible.) Anyway, I’ll appreciate your feedback, other suggestions, etc.
***In Wikitree Help, PLEASE have a central location, perhaps a separate, new section for suggestions so that they would be easy to scroll through.
BIOS:
Offer a search and replace function within a bio.
Enable us to format text font name, size, and color easily.
Add a way to see easily and quickly when something new has been added in a bio (perhaps a different font color?) Ideally let us say we’d like to see all changes since YYYY-MM-DD (a particular date).
NAME SEARCHES:
When searching for a name, permit wild card searches, boolean (AND, OR) searches.
Add Soundex name searches.
Enable a search for last name & Wikitree ID# (e.g., Smith-1)
IMAGES:
Add # of images on images tab.
Let us add borders to images
Ability to access imaging editing software from within Wikitree.
NEW FIELD:
Place of burial.
A to-do section on the profile page (perhaps formatted like the messages one can add).
NEW SERVICE:
Maintain a list of genealogy/local history books, etc., and name(s) of member(s) who’ll do look-ups in a particular book, journal, subscription website.
Enable us to contact several profile managers at one time.
Enable us to see a list of all the profile managers for a particular surname, together with the earliest-born person with that surname:
profile manager earliest ancestor dob of the ancestor
ECARDS:
Let us choose the date to be sent.
Let us send one card to several recipients at the same time.
