WikiTree errors and foreign titles

Question

Apparently an error -- something like "Warnings in WikiTree: 713 Suffix in Prefix" spotted this profile for a Balinese Indonesian person whose title is "I Gusti".  More about Balinese names and titles can be found here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balinese_name.  

Apparently it was the "I" that triggered a DB error, with the computer thinking it was a number rather than a letter, and someone helpfully corrected the title to remove the I, which of course made it incorrect as a title.  

Can the computer be fixed so that it does not recognize "I" as an erroneous number?

Answer 1

I can also add I Gusti as allowed prefix. It would be the best solution. There were none in july, when I was creating this error.

If you can list all allowed prefixes for Indonesia, I can add them.

Comments

Done. It is 9 of them. Any other Indonesian prefixes to check?

There are over 400 tribal groupings within Indonesia, all with their own languages and cultures. Each has its own titles as well, so it would be impossible to list them all , sadly. The use of caste titles such as I Gusti (Ni Gusti for females) is unique to Bali, however, as they are the last remaining Hindus in Indonesia.

Answer 2

Thanks, Jack. Yes, the Balinese use "I" as part of two of the caste titles. Sudras/Jaba use I for males, and Wesia use I Gusti for males.

Answer 3

I believe you can set the error to ignore or skip the error.  It might be listed as false error.  This is probably the most direct way to indicate information that is entered correctly.
