Question

News

• Template:Succession was added to the ConnectionFinder notables definition. That means that Notables CC7 will be calculated also for profiles having the Succession template. Deprecated templates Succession box and Succession box2 will not be added since they should be replaced with the new one.
• I prepared the succession reports. They are all collected here: https://www.softdata.si/wt/Cat/Succession/ I think this will help unify the template usage on different profiles for the same position. It will also help with transition to the new template. There are 2 special reports. SuccessionReport_All.htm contains all data and is huge. SuccessionReport_Rest.htm contains the data not shown in any other report. All other reports contain the word in the report name SuccessionReportPope.htm in position or years field. Old templates had the position often listed in the years parameter. Reports are updated once a week as database dump is processed. In the reports each Position is shown in 2 tables. First one is named Online data and displays extracted data linked to the WT+ data. the 2nd table named Template parameters lists actual parameters used in templates.

• 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 readed, it will show as new addition. If a profile is merged into another or LNAB is changed, it will also show as new addition.
