Did you know that while we all wiki there are people in the background keeping the tree safe, productive, and friendly?
Today the Wednesday Watchdogs are on duty. We are a team of members who work closely together to monitor many areas of activity on WikiTree. At least one of us is on duty at all times, every hour of the day. You don't hear about us often, but we're always around.
If a hacker were to begin doing damage to our beloved tree, the Watchdogs defend
If unexpected technical problems arise, we get there before they escalate
We deal with SPAM posted on G2G so that you don't have to
We promote healthy merges with correct directions and LNABs to make the tree better for everyone
There are many more things we do that can't be posted here (need to know basis so we can keep our edge over would be damage-doers). Needless to say, it can be very exciting at times!
Just as important as guarding the tree is our other main duty... to be loyal and helpful to our WikiTree family members. It doesn't matter if you have been here for years or are a brand new member as of today, we are your friends as well as cousins :) When you need to you can give the Watchdogs a whistle and we'll come running. We don't bite (sorry, couldn't help it). When a Watchdog or any other friendly WikiTree Ranger sends you a message you can help them to help you by responding as promptly as possible. Follow up on suggestions they give or make corrections that are recommended.
We are always looking for friendly, detail oriented members who wish to protect and promote the health of WikiTree. To volunteer, please check out the Rangers Project today!
