Hi WikiTreers,
Today we released some improvements to the change explanation fields that appear on edit pages. Most of these were mentioned or suggested in this discussion from a couple months ago.
1.) We added a second field on edit-profile pages. The change explanation field now appears above and below the text editing section, so there is one near both save buttons.
2.) We added it to the form for adding family. When you add or change a parent, sibling, spouse or child you can now include a change explanation. This won't appear in the history item for the new person, it will appear in the history item for the person to whom you added the relationship. So, for example, if you add a father, two history items are created. One of them records the creation of the new profile. The other records the addition of the father to the child's profile. This latter item would have the explanation if you included one.
3.) We enabled auto-filled selections. You can now click a button to select one of the preset change explanations. These are currently:
- Adding sources.
- Fixing typos.
- Formatting.
Do you have suggested additions or alternatives for these pre-set selections?
Do you notice any problems or have questions? Please post here. Thanks!
Onward and upward,
Chris
P.S. Today we also released some changes to our new comments system, and related to this, we are discussing whether to add new navigation buttons to profiles.
