Request: sort "Bulk Profile Manager Changes" by date of profile creation

Question

As has been pointed out before, when we create a large number of profiles for a project (whether Connect-a-thon or, in my case, studies of descendants of people I'm not related to) for people we have no further interest in, it is horribly tedious to pick them out of our watch list with the bulk tool. If our profiles could be sorted by date created, then I could lop off all the people I made on a given day (or week). Please??

Answer 1

WBE meanwhile has a feature that lets you remove them via the watchlist. It's sorted at other => Remove Profiles from Watchlist, but should be enabled by default already.

It works best together with the feature "Table Filters and Sorting", which is situated in the same section of the options dialog, but off by default.

Comments

Ah Florian, that was Greek to me. I have never used WBE whatever that is! I'll try to look it up. How hard though would it be to have a sort on the bulk page itself? Just wondering.

Sorry, I forgot the link: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Browser_Extension

Browser extensions allow us "common" WikiTreers with a bit of programming experience to alter the user experience on WikiTree. Without a browser extension it would need to be done by the small WikiTree team and will probably never happen due to priorization issues.

Install the Browser Extension and you should see the button in your watchlist already.
