Is there a way to make Bulk changes other than privacy levels?

Question

I have a question about WikiTree's ability to make bulk changes to one's entries in one fell swoop... other than privacy settings. Specifically, I want to correct the same spelling mistakes in many entries, update an entire family's place of origin and re-place middle names in the correct 'middle name' slot. I also want to remove my Ancestry.com sources that don't point to anything. I suppose many of these could/should have been done at the time the trees were uploaded. Anyway, I can't find anything that addresses bulk changes except for privacy levels. Please let me know if there is an easier way to make these changes rather than one by one. Thanks.

Answer 1

How many profiles are we talking about, Mary Rose ? Maybe I can help you but there is no bulk change tools for biographies.

You can use the db errors function to spot geographical and other mistakes from your own profile page menu >>> then YOUR NAME, slide down to Error Report, then click on Show errors in profiles created by YOU.

Thanks, Maggie. I did finally find another forum entry that said the same thing - no luck! There's probably more than 200 that I want to fix. I will just go through them one at a time. I might even be able to make up a template to use to replace the Ancestry.com sources that go 'nowhere'! That should speed it up a bit. I was going to see if  I could clean them all up in bulk from the RAW GED (much easier), resubmit them and then merge the profiles. But, I'm sure that's either not allowed or at best, will be as cumbersome as going through them one at a time on WikiTree.

PS Maggie.... I did go through the Error Report that you suggested. That helped to identify some of my errors - but there are so many more that aren't recognized!  : /
