Enhancement Request for Watchlist Report

Question

I would like to request an addition to the Watchlist Displays that are currently available.

I recommend that we add a "Missing Data" option at the top of the Watchlist display.

After clicking on the Missing Data button, a search screen would display that would allow a selection of Watchlist profiles based on:

• Missing Birthdates: Missing Full Date, Missing Month, Missing Day
• Missing Deathdate Missing Full Date, Missing Month, Missing Day
• Missing Birth Location:  field for entry of value.  If profile field contain only that value, the profile would be displayed. Example - if Canada is entered, all profiles with only Canada would be displayed
• Missing Death Location: field for entry of value.  If profile field contains only that value,the profile would be displayed
• Missing Father: profiles without a father
• Missing Mother: profiles without a mother
• Missing Children: profiles without any children
• Missing Siblings: profiles without any siblings
• Missing Spouse: profiles without a spouse
• For profiles with a marriage:  Missing Marriage Full date, Missing Marriage Month, Missing Marriage Day, 
• Missing Marriage Location:  field for entry of value.  If profile field contain only that value, the profile would be displayed

Comments

Actually, that would be a quality addition.

Edited to add: This would be a boon for all WikiTreers who want to make sure their own profiles are up to par. This addition would help in that I would not have to go through all my profiles looking to make sure those early ones got the corrections they need. I wouldn’t have to click though my Watchlist one by one looking for these.

Answer 1

I started an app that does some of this about a year ago, but never ended up finishing it because the API was missing some data that I needed. (The app is at https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/nelson3486/dev/research2do/ if you are interested, I think you need to have logged into another app such as WikiTree+ or RootsSearch for it to work).

I can add the relationship queries and finish the app sometime next week, and then it can be linked from the watchlist page. I know it's not as good as something that's directly integrated into the watchlist page, but I think it should be OK for right now.

Status can be tracked here.
