Thanks for your participation. I have reserved this building for you under Historic Houses. Let me know when it is finished and the link will be added.

Stuart

That link is found on profile pages under the "Add" drop down menu; look for "New Thing." No idea where that came up with that label.

Here is a help page I created - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Wales_Resources_Creating_A_Free-Space_Page

I am creating a Category for this. Not sure whether you have seen the Wikidata Q29488192?

Alun

Wikidata is a Wiki site that collects data from a host of other sites. On a Wikipedia page there are all sorts of things down the left hand side. For instance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendine. About half-way down it says "Wikidata item". Click on this and you will gat to the Wikidata page for Pendine, with its Qnumber, Q3403473. Scroll down this and you will find all sorts of links, including, right at the bottom the link to the Wikitree Category. You might be interested in working through https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Wales_Categorisation. These are a few pages of explanations on Categorisation which includes reference to Wikidata

I have linked profiles onto the Space Page to create an easy overview. I do not want to complicate everything for those looking for relatives. I work with church profiles to make the information in my photos of gravestones available to the general public. Maybe Wikitree is the wrong place to do this. I want the Church profiles to be useful. A page that can be a stepping stone to more information, and not just a duplicate of what's to be found on wikipedia or a google search. Then there would be little reason to spend so many hours creating church profiles, if people could actually just as easily google a few details about the church building. Beside I find this a useless waste of time on wikitree.

I am trying my best to add all the profiles for the burials to categories and Steve have been an absolut star helping creating categories for this. So there is now links to the profiles both in the categories and on each church page, which I find useful. In any case, the links certainly do no harm. In my view they are the beef on the Space Pages. It's all down to personal preferences I guess, but I had hoped wikitree would be the place to support the creativity of individual members as long as it's well backed up by good sources and can be useful for anyone doing family research. I know my Space Pages work as I have on several occations been contacted by people who have found relatives when looking in on the church pages. It might not be the Space Page standard some of you category wizzards would create, but it works, and it is USEFUL. And that is giving me joy. As what I enjoy most about the whole process is to be outdoors with the camera visiting churches, I will be quite happy just providing the photos if someone else wanted to create church space pages and person profiles and categories and get little yellow star stickers for the fridge door, or whatever makes them buzz.  ;o)

Just send me a private message and I'll go snapping those photos.

As anticipated, review of the first one on this list resulted in some modifications to the Historic Buildings page.

I will add these as time allows.

Meanwhile, please add to the top of each of the pages this coding: Topics Teams | Wales Historic Buildings Team

I am no coding wizz so need exact examples of what needs to go in the editing.

Jo

You did a lot of work.

Thanks again, Stuart

I lost over 80% of my saved emails couple of months ago. Found one of yours today. Will write soon.

We want to be flexible about the definition and the format for listings is new. For now it would be best to post new page links in Comments to facilitate analysis.
