Question

Is there a plan to make the middle name field appear in the create profile stage? It is quite cumbersome to create the profiles without middle names and then edit the name fields after the profile is created. It would, at least in my opinion, make filtering out potential duplicates much easier and would lessen the steps to create new profiles. With many cases in my family tree, I already know the middle names and find it time consuming to scroll down to where the middle name field is and then add the middle name instead of adding it when the profile is created.

You can control whether or not you see the middle name field when you create a profile.

Go to the "My WikiTree" menu at the top of any page and click on "Settings". Scroll all the way to the bottom and under "Miscellaneous Settings" there is a setting for "Hide Middle Name field when creating profiles and automatically set "no middle name" selector." If you want the middle name field to appear then de-select that option and click on the "Save Settings" button.
