Question

How do I located orphaned profiles I have taken over as manager

Answer 1

Click on My Wikitree at the top right and scroll down to Watchlist.  That will show all the profiles you manage or are on the trusted list for.  There’s a little “M” on the ones you manage.

Hi Kathie,

The watch list does not indicate the orphaned profiles I have adopted. I have now been directed to my orphaned profiles in another section.

Thank you for your time and reply.

Answer 2

Hi Roy. The WikiTree Plus query at this link should do it.

In the resulting window, click "Get profiles". There seem to be 42 of them.

Hello and thank you Jim.

That link worked and I found my adopted orphaned profiles. I'm very surprised why my orphaned profiles do not appear on my dashboard to make it easier to find and edit when required. It appears adopted orphaned profiles are given no recognition. Just the same will be adopting a few more so they are not alone.

Thank you again for your help.

Regards Roy.

Excellent, Roy. I'm glad this was helpful. Adoption of profiles is very worthwhile and deserving of recognition. There is in fact a "Big Heart" badge for this. It's not awarded for individual adoptions, but only when adoptions are done in bulk using the tool at this link:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Adoptions

I can't find it documented, but I seem to remember that you get the badge if you adopt 15 or more orphan profiles at once.

Thanks again Jim.

Bulk adoptions at 15 or more at once. It's taken me a few months to adopt 42. One adoption at the time keeps me busy with record searches.

I will continue to plod along at my own speed. Don't need a badge to have a "Big Heart"  

Keep up the good work.

Regards, Roy.
