Finding my uncategorized profiles

Question

What ways are there to find profiles I created/manage/have in my tree, that do not have categories?

The only one I'm aware of would be searching for my ID with WikiTree+ and looking at the last column of the table. Is there anything "smoother"?

Answer 1

If you do a text search in WT+, at the bottom of the search results is a "group field".  Select categories.  Any profiles without categories will be grouped together.  Mine are at the top of the results.  Likewise, profiles with the same categories will be grouped together.  That's the only way I know how.  If there's a better way, I'm interested too.

Thank you for this comment.  I did not know about the group box at the end of the search.  Nopw that I've done it, there are a bunch that have only one category but need another added.  Besides looking at the profiles listed and looking them up one by one, how do you get a listing of them?

Answer 2

Tina's suggestion is probably best.

You could also use the BioCheck app. Either check your watchlist or use the WT+ search for either manager=Id or creator_id. Then report all profiles, use a detailed report, use the search string category and sort the results by the found column.

Hi, Kay, I used Wikitree +, got a list of all the profiles managed by the Acadians Project.  But now I want to see only the profiles that have the Acadians category but none others.  The report I ran at Tinas suggestion told me there were 2865.  I can only see the few listed in the right hand column.  I'd like to download the list of only those and sort by ID.  Working on a family at a time might be more efficient.  Any thoughts?

Cindy, I assume you are talking about finding manager=WikiTree-2 profiles. I'm not sure how to find profiles that only have one category. There are WikiTree+ options to search for all or part of a category name

Answer 3

For family, use Ian Beacall's Profile Overview app. It shows each ancestor and has their categories at the bottom. If you do a "search within this page" for a given category, chrome highlights all occurrences, making it easier to see who doesnt have one.

Alternatively, probably something you can do in wikitree+ using the sql syntax

Answer 4

My solution with Wiki+ is this:

https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=Manager%3DScholz-412+sql%3D%22%5BDefault%5D.%5BAll+Categories%5D.AsString+%3D+%27%27%22&MaxProfiles=3500&Format=

just replace "Scholz-412" with your WikiID
