- I changed the list of hints on the right side on Challenge tracker page. The hints defined by the challenge now show up when you check the challenge check box. You can see what I am talking about here: https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTChallenge/Challenge.htm?ProfileID=10816946 The 2 challenges with defined items are Integrators Challenge and Weevils Squashed 2024.
- Added WikiData ID to wikidata index. You can now search for wikidata=q23 to find profile(s) linked from that page.
- Added link to ML/WL addition history to Space:DBE_Project_Status reports.
- Added a possibility to search for changed profiles by a user in last month. Index name is changesmonth and you use it like changesmonth=Trtnik-2 or changesmonth="WikiTree-11" https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=changesmonth%3DWikiTree-11

- On Wednesday there was a new session of Ask Aleš. If you missed it, see: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1704673/ask-ales-february-2024
- Based on Notables project request I added a possibility to track the date of the profile addition to the Managed list or Watch list (similar to the category history). To see it for your project, just change the WikiTreeID at the end of the URL. This link is for notables project. https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTWatchListTime/WatchListTime.htm?Account=WikiTree-11 I started to track the dates in January. For profiles added before January 2024 they are grouped by the month of the profiles creation date. Later additions are listed at the beginning grouped by day and list type. Unlisted profiles are named Unlisted but a link to them works. If you have the rights to see the profile, you will. Profiles added after the last database dump are also shown as unlisted, but will change to the actual WikiTreeID next week. If a profile is removed from the list and later readded, it will show as new addition. If a profile is merged into another or LNAB is changed, it will also show as new addition.
- To find all profiles created during the thon you can search for profilelist="ConnectAThon\202401" on WT+ https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=profilelist%3D%22ConnectAThon%5C202401%22 You can combine that with your WikiTreeID to get only the profiles you manage. If you orphaned the profiles, you can use Creator_Trtnik-2 (Replace with your wikitreeID) to get those profiles. And from results you can click Suggestions in the heading to get suggestions for them. There is also a Challenge for Connect-a-Thon Suggestions this week.
