Can you see what corrections has been corrected?

Question

I thought previous thons would show the correction/comment on the suggestions list when you reloaded it.

Maybe there's a way to see only active suggestions in Wikitree+? Is hidden suggestions those that has been corrected?

A bonus question, on the customized suggestion lists (set to Sweden in my case) there is 1000+ suggestions for faulty location in birth, but on Wikitree+ only about 33 shows up and that is with it set to 1000 max suggestions. Why doesn't the numbers match? Am I doing something wrong: https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=err3&Location=Sweden&MaxErrors=1000&ErrorID=615

Answer 1

The regular suggestions list that you are generated for a specific Suggestion or for a location, such as https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Automated:DD_Suggestion_List_<location>  or  https://www.softdata.si/wt/Err_20210418/<location>/<suggestion #>_<century Open or Hidden>_0.htm  are all created based on the 'data dump' that is done on Sunday night.  Therefore, they are NOT updated as people correct them.

If you use Wikitree + to find Suggestions for a location or a specific Suggestion number, etc, those are shown using the suggestions generated from that previous 'data dump', but as they are updated, they are 'hidden' until the next data dump is done.  You can make them appear by selecting the 'Hide active suggestions' and reloading the page.

Hidden Suggestions on the Automated lists are normally Suggestions that were previously marked as False Suggestions or Proposed Merges (those marked as merges are hidden for a month).  They can also include Suggestions that were updated after the Data dump was done, ie using the previous week's Suggestions.   Hidden Suggestions on Wikitree + are include the same as those from Automated lists, as well as suggestions updated since the Automated lists were created, so these are up-to-date as 'still need to be fixed'

Your Wikitree Query used Location field which 'supposedly' checks for 'Sweden' in one of the locations.  If you enter 'Sweden' in the Text tab, not Location tab, you get a lot more Suggestions for Sweden. Ales would have to explain what the difference in those tabs is because I didn't see Sweden in ALL of the Suggestions using the Text tab, but I see a lot more Suggestions with Sweden in the locations tab than found using the 'Location' tab.

Thanks Linda!

Thanks Antonia.  If you are looking at the Automated lists and are 'running' into others, use the 'Next' button to jump down a bunch of pages, go to the Last page and start working backwards, etc.

Sorry not what I was trying to ask.. I was wondering if there is a suggestion list that will show which suggestions have been corrected.

So you don't accidentally keep opening status pages that has already been corrected, by you, or anyone else.

Hope that makes it more clear.

No, not that I know of. You have to open each profile and look at it's suggestions to see if it has been corrected yet.

Or on the report, you can click on the "status" and it will show if and when it was last edited.
