What is WikiTree+?

Aleš Trtnik and Jamie Nelson at RootsTech 2023.

is an independent service offered for free by Aleš Trtnik. Although Aleš is a WikiTree Team Member, WikiTree+ is not a part of WikiTree. It uses data that is publicly available to everyone.

WikiTree+ uses deep data analysis to find possible errors and opportunities for further research. The subsequent suggestions power the Data Doctors Project and their weekly clean-up challenges. They enable all members to help improve the health of our shared tree.

If you don't find the answer to your question below, ask in G2G using the tag data_doctors.

Reports Linked from WikiTree

The following WikiTree+ reports are linked directly from WikiTree.

Suggestions

Select "Suggestions" from the pull-down menu at the top of any page to see a list of possible suggestions and potential improvements.

All the menu links say "Suggestions" but there are three types of reports:

  1. Suggestions for profiles you manage. These are linked from the "My WikiTree" menu.
  2. Suggestions for profiles related to a person. These are linked from the person menu that starts with the person's WikiTree ID on person-related pages. On pages that aren't related to another person, the person menu is your own. These suggestions are still not the same as the ones you get from the My WikiTree menu. This report is for profiles that are related to you, many of which you may not have created or contributed to.
  3. Suggestions for profiles with a given surname. These are linked from the surname menu that appears on surname-related pages.

Highly customizable variations of these reports can be produced by going to the WikiTree+ Home Page. There are more details on these options in the "Reports on WikiTree+" section below.

Suggestion lists are sometimes referred to as Error Reports or Data Doctor Reports.

Pre-Merge Comparison Reports

WikiTree+ offers more than suggestions for improvement. One of the most beneficial types of reports it offers are those designed to help you decide whether two profiles represent the same person and should therefore be merged.

These are linked in two places:

  1. Browse Matches: The tool for browsing all pending merges, unmerged matches, and rejected matches. The links say "comparison report on WikiTree+."
  2. Merge Comparison Pages: When you are comparing two profiles on WikiTree there is a link near the top of the page.

There are more details on using these in the "Compare Branches" section below.

Category Search and Navigate

WikiTree+ offers also search for categories and navigation of categories. The links are accessible on all Categories on WikiTree in upper righthand corner.

  1. Search searches only for whole words in category name. So it is easy to find all Unconnected Notables categories. There are more details on using these in the "Search Categories" section below.
  2. Navigation displays category hierarchy with several sublevels. It also provides number of parent categories, sub categories, profiles, members and inbound links for each category. There are more details on using these in the "Navigate Categories" section below.


Reports on WikiTree+

On the left side of the WikiTree+ Home Page you can select a report to generate. The options are sorted into a few logical groups and described in detail below.

Above the groups there is a Show result in new tab checkbox. If checked, results will show in new tab of the browser. This is useful if you want to print or save the report, or if your screen is small. It doesn't apply to the Statistics group where charts are displayed.

Suggestions

There are a few options that are common to all suggestion lists:

  • Checkbox Show temporarily hidden suggestions: this lets you decide whether to include suggestions that users have set as false or corrected errors.
  • Checkbox Hide active suggestions: this lets you where you define if active errors are included in the report.
  • Selector to limit the report to only one suggestion/error type.

Text search

Suggestions by Text search

All Suggestions reports give you suggestions for all profiles that have a given string in any data field.

In addition to the common selectors, you enter:

  • Text text. You can enter location names with normal spacing. The searches are not case-sensitive. Unicode characters are treated as similar letters (Š=S). Space between words assumes the AND operator. You can also use OR and/or NOT operators.
    Following fields are searched for:
    • All Name and Lastname fields
    • WikiTreeID
    • Birth Location and derived country
    • Death Location and derived country
    • Marriage Location and derived country
    • Manager's WikiTreeID

Tree

Suggestions by Tree

Tree Suggestions reports give you a list of all suggestions for profiles that are related to a given person.

  • WikiTree ID of the profile to use to start the report. Spaces are the same as underscores, so it doesn't matter which form you use (e.g. Van der Berg-5 or Van_der_Berg-5). It is case-insensitive (e.g. van der berg-5 is fine) but unicode characters must be used if needed (e.g. Sälgö-1).
  • The number of Generations to show,
  • In Relatives: combobox you can select the type of relatives to use in generations search. Possible selections are:
    • All considers parents, children and spouses as relatives,
    • Blood relatives considers children, parents and parents children as relatives,

Search

There are two types of profile searches.

  1. Text search is a Google-like search, where you enter a few words to search for.
  2. Person's tree shows profiles related to a person by generations.

There are some common options for all searches.

DBE_Help_Search_Text
  • Show relatives shows also all relatives for each person found. If the option is unchecked, only the person's information is shown. If it is checked, the found persons are shown with a green background, and followed by all 1st generation relatives on white background.
  • Sort by define the sort order of profiles found. Possible values are Creation (Default), Last name (LNAB), First name (Name), Birth date (BiDa), Birth location (BiLoc), Death date (DeDa) and Death location (DeLoc). In parentheses are values for the URL parameter modification.
  • Page size defines the number of profiles shown on each page. Possible values are 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. If there is more than 1 page, navigation links are above and below the table. This option has no effect on the Persons tree.

Text search

This is the Google-like keyword search. Simply enter all the words that must appear in the profile's data or in selected derived magic words. If all are found, the profile is shown in the results. Due to the huge amount of data in the biography, only a few parts are searchable like GEDCOM file name, template names and parameters, category names, domain part of links, ...

  • Text defines the text to search. See the table for description and examples.

See more examples below.
  • Max profiles defines the number of profiles to return. the result will be paginated based on the PageSize option.
  • Format defines the return format. There are 4 possibilities
    • HTML: HTML is the choice for viewing results in the browser. Maximal page size is 5.000 profiles.
    • xls: To export the results into Excel. Maximal page size is 20.000 profiles.
    • csv: To export the results into ASCII file. It is actually UTF8 file. Columns are separated by semicolon. Maximal page size is 100.000 profiles.
    • json: To return the results in JSON format. It is for use in 3rd party applications. Only the UserIDs are returned. Maximal page size is 1.000.000 profiles.
Search priority
  • The searches are not case-sensitive.
  • Unicode characters are treated as similar letters (Š=S).
  • Space between words assumes the AND operator.
  • You can also use OR and/or NOT operators.

Search order is from left to right. Search text is first split on OR keywords and each part (level1) is executed separately. Results are then joined together. The parts level1 are then split by relation=* and the left part (level2) is input for the relation and the right part (level2) is ANDed with the relation result. The parts level2 are then split by NOT keyword resulting in one or more parts (level4) and each part is removed from the first part. Level4 text is processed using AND operator for each space.

Birth Date
  • Birth date (with B prefix in front of the date and 0 padded year for years before 1000)
    • B1915 to get all births in 1915
    • B191501 to get all births in January 1915
    • B19150125 to get all births on 25th January 1915
    • B19150100 to get all births in January 1915 without the day
    • B19150000 or B191500 to get all births in 1915 without the month and day
    • B0191 to get all births in 191
    • B0 to get all missing births
    • B1950s to get all private profiles born in 1950s
Death Date
  • Death date (with D prefix in front of the date and 0 padded year for years before 1000)
    • D1915 to get all deaths in 1915
    • D191501 to get all deaths in January 1915
    • D19150125 to get all deaths on 25th January 1915
    • D19150100 to get all deaths in January 1915 without the day
    • D19150000 or B191500 to get all deaths in 1915 without the month and day
    • D0 to get all missing deaths
    • D0191 to get all deaths in 191
    • D1950s to get all private profiles died in 1950s
SQL

In sql="..." you can use various conditions. Since there is no way to know what to write, here are examples of what you can do. Don't forget that you have to first filter the profiles on which to execute the sql query.

To explain the syntax a bit.

  1. You can use field values as the name in []. Correct notation is [Default].[First Name].
  2. It should be followed with .AsNumber or AsString or AsBoolean method. It does depend on the field type. Numeric field can use .AsString but String field can't use .AsNumber. There is also the .LineCount. method that can be used on multiple datasets like [Children], [Spouses], [Marriage], [Siblings], [Categories], [Templates] and [Manager].
  3. It is followed by an operator: =, <>, >, >=, <, <= and In. String conditions have also Like and Match operators. In operator can have multiple comma separated values on the right side. It can be also a range 1..3 For instance ([field].AsNumber In 2, 5, 7, 15..20, >50) or for string fields ([field].AsNumber In '2', '5', 'a..c', Like '*ggg*', match '^a.ores$')
  4. whole expression should be in (). ([field].AsNumber = 1)
  5. You can use Not () on whole expression. Not ([field].AsNumber = 1)
  6. You can use Or and And boolean operators betwen expression with full () support. And has a higher priority than Or. (([field1].AsNumber = 1) or Not([field2].AsNumber = 1)) And ([field3].AsNumber = 1)

This expression must be enclosed in sql="..," so I suggest using single quotes in expressions.

  • Names
    • sql="([Default].[First Name].AsString = '')" Returns profiles without First name.
    • sql="([Default].[Last Name at Birth].AsString = 'berkelmans')"
    • sql="([Default].[Current Last Name].AsString = 'whittemore')"
  • Dates: [Birth Date] contains 1770..2020 for private profiles and 00010000..20241231 for public and open profiles. You can use [Birth Date num] instead where 1990 is changed to 19950000 as the middle of the decade. There are also [Birth Date Min] with value 19900000 and [Birth Date Max] with 19999999 for private profiles and for partial dates like Jun 1991 the values are 19910600 and 19910699 or just year like 1952 the values are 19520000 and 19529999.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date].AsNumber < 18520000)" returns the profiles born before 1852.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date].AsNumber >= 18520000)" returns the profiles born after and including 1852.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date].AsNumber > 19731231)" returns the profiles born after 31 dec 1973.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date num].AsNumber in 18650101..18661231)" returns the profiles that born in 1865 or 1866.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date num].AsNumber in 00010000..15991231)" returns the pre 1500 profiles.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date min].AsNumber in 0, <19459999) and ([Default].[Death Date max].AsNumber in 0, >19400000)" returns the profiles that were possibly alive in WWII
    • sql="([Default].[Death Date].AsNumber < 18520000)" returns the profiles that died before 1852.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date].AsString like '*00')" returns the profiles without the day of the months set.
    • sql="Not ([Default].[Birth Date].AsString like '*00')" returns the profiles with the day of the months set.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Date].AsString like '*0000')" returns the profiles with only the year set.
    • sql="Not ([Default].[Birth Date].AsString like '*0000')" returns the profiles with month and/or day set.
    • sql="([Default].[Death Age].asnumber > 100)" returns people who lived over 100 years.
  • Locations: % is not a wildcard character like on SQL servers. We use *. We also support ? for a single character. And they both work only with the Like operator. Not Like should be used as a boolean operation on expression on (). Example: Not([...] Like '*a*')
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString = 'azores, portugal')" Exact match.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString like '*açores')" Ends with açores
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString like '*azores')" Ends with azores
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString like '*azores*')" Contains azores
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString like 'azores*')" Starts with azores
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString like '*azores, portugal*')" Contains the text including the comma.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString like '*azores portugal*')" Contains the text without the comma.
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString like 'azores, portugal')" Similar to equal operator
    • sql="([Default].[Birth Location].AsString = '')" no location entered. Not needed operation, since it is indexed field. Use birthlocation=missinglocation
    • sql="([Default].[Death Location].AsString like 'azores*')" For Death field.
    • sql="([Default].[Death Location Country].AsString = 'canada')" Location recognized as Canada.
    • sql="([Default].[Death Location Country].AsString = 'united states')"
    • sql="([Default].[Death Location Country, Region, City].AsString = 'united states virginia ')" Note the space after virginia.
    • sql="(Trim([Default].[Death Location Country, Region, City].AsString) = 'united states virginia')" to ignore the space.
    • sql="(Trim([Default].[Death Location Country, Region, City].AsString) = '')" to get unrecognized locations
  • Gender
    • sql="([Default].[Gender].AsNumber = 1)" Returns only male profiles.
    • sql="([Default].[Gender txt].AsString = 'male')" Returns only male profiles. Not needed operation, since it is indexed field. Use gender=male

  • Ancestors=Trtnik-2
  • Descendants=Tudor-18
  • CC7=Tudor-18

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.

  • subcat1="Asia, Unsourced Profiles"
  • subcat9="Unsourced Profiles" Not subcat0="Unsourced Profiles" This returns all profiles in Unsourced Profiles subcategories, that are not in the root Unsourced Profiles category.

Person's tree

  • In Relatives: combobox you can select the type of relatives to use in generations search. Possible selections are:
    • All considers parents, children, and spouses as relatives. Generation goes in all directions, not just ancestors. That means
      • 0 generation is you or profile being looked into.
      • 1st generation are your parents, children, and spouse(s).
      • 2nd generation are 1st generation's parents, children, and spouse(s), that were not listed in the previous generation.
      • and so on.
    • Blood relatives considers children, parents and parents' children as relatives. With a limit to blood relatives it is a bit more complicated:
      • 0 generation is you or profile being looked into.
      • 1st generation are your parents and children,
      • 2nd generation are parents and children of all 1st generation parents, and children of all 1st generation children.
      • 3rd generation are parents and children of all 2nd generation parents' and children of all 2nd generation children.
    • Ancestors considers only parents as relatives
    • Descendants considers only children as relatives

This is the Google-like keyword search on all pages on wikitree. The search includes Help pages, Space pages, Project pages, Templates, Categories and Main namespace. It searches the page content. Simply enter all the words that must appear on the page. If all words are found, the page is shown in the results.

Replace location

With this function, you can replace the ending of locations with another ending. It uses Automatically suggested corrections.

Example to change Virginia, British Colonial America to Virginia Colony. [1]

Note: This is the only place on WikiTree+, where separators are important. So you must use commas and dots exactly as they are used. So using NY or N.Y. or N. Y. all produce different results.

When making a change, it also reformats the location. It removes all double spaces, all spaces before each comma and each dot, and adds a single space after each comma and each dot. The exception is dot and comma together ".,", where a space is not added between them.

Display

Connection Finder

Connection finder can find a connection between any 2 profiles connected to the Global tree, There are different filters of relations used in the search. You can also ignore one or more profiles on the path to find the alternate connection.

  • WikiTree ID: ID of the starting person to search the path. Profile must have privacy set to at least Private with public tree.
  • WikiTree ID: ID of the ending person to search the path. Profile must have privacy set to at least Private with public tree.
  • Relatives:
    • All: All types of relations are included in path finding.
    • Blood relatives: All relations except marriages are included in path finding. This doesn't change the path found significantly. It usually adds one step to the path found since most marriages result in a child who connects the parents.
    • Common ancestor: Finds common ancestor of the two profiles. It follows only parent relations from both profiles.
    • Common descendant: Finds common descendant of the two profiles. It follows only parent-child relations from both profiles.
    • Paternal lines: Finds common paternal ancestor of the two profiles. It follows only father-child relationships from both profiles.
    • Maternal lines: Finds common maternal ancestor of the two profiles. It follows only mother-child relationships from both profiles.
  • Ignore profiles: Here you can list profiles to ignore on the path search. This makes it possible to find alternate connections. If there is more than one person you'd like to remove, list them by a comma.

Geodesic Cycles

Connection finder can find Geodesic Cycles on any path any 2 profiles connected to the Global tree,

  • WikiTree ID: ID of the starting person to search the path. Profile must have privacy set to at least Private with public tree.
  • WikiTree ID: ID of the ending person to search the path. Profile must have privacy set to at least Private with public tree.

Analyses

First name

Location spelling

Name spelling

The report checks each field for the usage of the word. It also checks all spelling variations, so you can see the typos.

  • Name: The name that will be checked for usage in any name field. Example: Smith

Compare branches

The report compares two profiles and all their relatives. If additional matches are found they are also compared.

  • WikiTree ID 1: The first profile you want to compare. Example: Trtnik-2
  • WikiTree ID 2: The second profile you want to compare. Example: Trtnik-4
  • Similarity: Defines the likeliness of profiles to be considered the same. The appropriate value is 80-100. If you notice that two profiles are marked the same and should not be, increase the value. If you notice that two profiles are not matched and should be, decrease the value.

Category navigator

Navigate categories

Navigate categories shows all parent categories, followed by the category being listed and then lists all subcategories and their subcategories and so on. By default, it shows 2 levels. It can be changed by selecting a different link in the caption of the table.

Columns:

  • Level: Shows sublevel of the row.
  • Lvl0, Lvl1, Lvl2, ..., Increase level: Sets the indentation according to level. It also provides a link to select a different number of levels displayed. The column shows the Category name as a link to the WikiTree category, It is preceded by a tree image icon that links to Navigation that starts on this category.
  • Parent Categories: Shows the number of parent categories.

Statistics

In the statistics group there are four items. The first contains some summary data from the database dump. The other three are statistical analyses of suggestions.

After selecting the report type, four graphs and values for graphs are listed.

  • First graph shows the change of percentage. For instance, in the privacy report you can see that percentage of open profiles is increasing and percentage of public profiles is decreasing.
  • Second graph shows the change of number of profiles. For instance, in the privacy report you can see that it is cca 40000 new open profiles each week. and the number of public profiles is reduced by a few thousand each week.
  • Third graph shows percentage distribution. For instance in privacy report you can see that percentage of open profiles growing.
  • Fourth graph shows the total number of profiles. For instance, in the privacy report, you can see that the number of open profiles is increasing, and the number of public profiles is decreasing.
  • Below the graphs all values are listed, so you can check specific number in history.

On graphs you can click on item in legend and it removes/adds the item in the chart. This enables you to see any line or group of lines on its own. Also when you hover with mouse over the small circle in graphs, you get the hint with exact values used for the graph.

Tree navigator on WikiTree+

Tree navigator on WikiTree+

Tree navigator displays the nuclear family of the person with actual dates. It is started from a tree link under the WikiTreeID link in all reports on Wikitree+.

For navigating the tree see next section. You can click on any profile and you will get detailed information on the righthand side. There you can click the SHOW NUCLEAR FAMILY button to display the nuclear family of that person. In addition you can set the colors based on the gender or privacy.

Example: https://plus.wikitree.com/findtree.htm?userid=10816946

Map navigator on WikiTree+

Tree navigator on WikiTree+

Map navigator displays a group of profiles on a map. You can select which profiles appear by clicking "THEME" in the header.

Only Public and Open profiles are displayed, and only if they have birth or death locations.

See our announcement and discussion in G2G.

Usage tips and improvements

Navigating a map:

  • Select Locations on the left panel to view the USA or other regions.
  • Zooming in and out: On the map you can navigate using the mouse wheel. On mobile devices you can zoom in/out using pinch. If neither is applicable, you can click the globe image in upper left corner and there are + and - buttons to zoom in/out.
  • Moving around: You can use click+drag to move around. On mobile devices you simply drag the map to move it.
  • Select Layers on the left panel to define what you see.
  • On the top you can select what you see.
    • in Profiles menu you can enter WikiTree ID and select which profiles of that person you want to examine.
    • in Category menu you can enter the name of the category without the Category: prefix to see all profiles in that category. Example: Cambridgeshire, Unsourced Profiles
    • in Template menu you can enter the name of the template without the Template: prefix to see all profiles using that template. Example: US President
  • You can click on map to display details about the profile drawn. There are a few buttons where you can jump to a profile on WikiTree or display that person's ancestors, descendants or nuclear family.

Profiles without locations: The profiles displayed in the ocean near Africa have (0,0) coordinates. Those are the profiles with unrecognized locations. We will probably improve the algorithm in the future.

You can improve the display by clearing 450 - Profile completeness suggestions related to locations. To activate them, you must first add Category:Suggestions_-_Include_Profile_Completeness to your profile. Next week you will have a list of problematic locations. These suggestions will improve the display on the map.
