Suggestion for WikiTree+

+9 votes

In WikiTree+, the Reports section, functions "Ancestors" and "Descendants (beta)", I suggest adding the option to display ONLY terminal ancestors, i.e. only ancestors both of whose parents are unknown, or terminal descendants, i.e. ONLY descendants with no children. If there are more than 20 such ancestors or descendants in any generation, display at least 20 of them.

you should add a tag for Ales since he is the one that does Wikitree +

That is a good idea, I will have a look.

Aleš, my idea was good, but your change was even better! Thanks. An improvement would be to show the ancestors in the last generation, saving the user from having to look at the last entry(ies) in the previous generation to find their parents.
Aleš, my previous comment must have been written while you were still making the changes. Again, you have gone beyond my suggestion. I would not have even thought of the additional additions you have made. Many thanks, also for your speed in making these improvements. They will save me quite a bit of time in the future.

Now I am finnished with the ancestors table. 

https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=rep1&WikiTreeID=Baber-306

In the link cell, there are 4 groups: 

  • Both Ancestors: with the total number and profiles if less than 20.
  • Only Father: with the total number and profiles if less than 10.
  • Only Mother: with the total number and links if less than 10.
  • No Ancestors: with the total number and links if less than 20.

I extended all links to look like this:

A D Baber-306 image H image imageimage imageimage

  • A is for WT+ Ancestors report from this person.
  • D is for WT+ Descendants report from this person.
  • WikiTreeID is a link to the profile.
  • image is link to WT+ Tree
  • H is a link to Profile's edit history
  • image is link to WT+ Map of the nuclear familly
  • imageimage is link to WT+ Map of ancestors
  • imageimage is link to WT+ Map of descendants
I haven't changed this report for a few years, so changes were due. It bugged me for years that you can't jump to descendants report or to WikiTree.com Now it is all possible.

You found ideal time. Today I am recalculating suggestions and I can't do anything but wait for computer to calculate everything.

Now also descendants are updated.

https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=rep2&WikiTreeID=Svasasson-2

In the link cell, there are only 2 groups: 

  • Has Descendants: with the total number and profiles if less than 20.
  • No Descendants: with the total number and links if less than 20.

Links are the same as above.

Great work! Is there a way to see the suggestions, listed under # of suggestions?
No, But you can start the the suggestions Tree report limited to ancestors.
