The purpose of this team is:
- to make members aware of and to resolve suggestions, which are inconsistencies in the WikiTree profile database, and reported by WikiTree Plus, a tool and separate database developed by Ales Trnik, a WikiTree Team Lead. Suggestion Lists are updated weekly and published on Tuesdays.
- Suggestions are:
- Errors- incorrect entries as the result of typos or imports of GEDCOM that need to be corrected; or
- Hints - results of inconsistencies in linking to external databases, like Ancestry or others, caused by a typo, an incorrect link to the profile, or an issue that needs investigating; or
- Warnings - produced by uncommon data due to a typo or unique information on profiles and must be reviewed and resolved.
What do members of this team do?
- This team corrects errors, reviews and resolves warnings, and investigates hints' in the WikiTree database following the guidelines of the Data Doctors Project, Nordic Project, and country subprojects.
- There is a Difficulty Rating for each suggestion defined as:
- " 'Easy'"- fundamental format issues caused by typos, punctuation omissions, name or date errors. (Examples: Brackets, Typos in any field, Headings);
- "' Intermediate'" - requires knowledge of WikiTree functions and proper formatting. (Examples: Inline citations, Sourcing, Template formatting); or
- "'Advanced'" - requires multiple steps, research, and combines more than one intermediate function to resolve. (Examples: Merging, Clean up Profile after merges, duplicate sources).
- Navigate to pages outlining the process and tools used in working on suggestions in WikiTree from this table. The bolded titles are the most important guidelines.
- Find what you are interested in resolving through the Difficulty-Level Suggestions and Suggestions Groups & More links and pages.
