You can see how your profile will be displayed at each privacy level by clicking on the tab for "Profile (public view)".
After choosing your setting, you have several additional options to maintain privacy on WikiTree. You can use "Anonymous," an initial, or a nickname as your preferred name. Alternatively, although not recommended, you could also use "Anonymous" or an initial for your surname.
It's best not to anonymise your surname if you are hoping to get on trusted lists and share family tree info with distant cousins, etc. It's also easier to keep your gender private by anonymising your first name.
