Legacy Plan on WikiTree

Interpretaion of the Advance Directive Policy and the Death of a Member Policy on WikiTree:

• Advance Directive Policy covers the case where a member is unreachable or deceased.
• WikTree will "delete the Private profiles that they were managing unless there are other[s] ... on the Trusted Lists of those profiles."
  • All four types of Private profile fall under this rubric.
• "It's best that you make sure every Private profile you're managing has others on the Trusted List."
• By the same token, every Unlisted profile should have a joint Profile Manager, if you want the profile to persist.
• Public profiles will convert to Open, with Orphan status. No information will be lost. The net effect is that other WikiTree members will be able to edit and/or adopt the previously Public profile.
• Open profiles will be orphaned, and no information will be lost.
