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 anonymize 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 anonymizing your first name.
Just a note to say hello and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about WikiTree. You can contact me by clicking the link to my name, then sending a private message or posting a comment on my profile page.
