Finding tagged or Project Profiles

Question

Is there a way that I can pull up all the profiles in my watch list that have certain tags, stickers or projects on them?  ie. WWI, WW2, Civil War, Southern Pioneer

Answer 1

Rhonda

G2G Tags are used on your WikiTree profile for the purpose of following G2G posts that are related to the tag subject.  They are not used on other profiles other than your personal profile,  

I think what you may be referring to are categories. Categories are used to group profiles that have something in common, For more information on categories.their use and creation contact the Categorization Project

Profiles that are currently managed by Southern Pioneers can be found in the project watchlist and the following project category:  Category:Southern_Pioneers

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Using wikitree+ may also help. You can get a list of all the profiles you manage (not your entire watchlist). The last column will show categories and templates used in them.

That is awesome and not something I knew!  Very helpful.  Thanks

How often does the list get updated?  I've added several cemetery categories to the profiles I manage but it isn't showing any updates for at least the past three days.

---

I believe it is the same as the suggestions report, so weekly, with data pulled Saturday night and generally available Tuesday night (depending on your time zone) -- it may be 10 days after your edit that it is in WikiTree+

Rhonda .. are you looking in the correct place?  Categories show up at the BOTTOM of profiles now (and for some time).  They will not show on preview, but once you have saved the profile, they DO show up as a teeny link to the right: [categories]

If you click that link on the profile/s, it will take you to where the categories are shown.

---

And they DO show up immediately if the category is one that already exists.

Thanks Melanie, they do show up immediately on the profiles but not on the WikiTree+ report that lists all the profiles I manage.

---

WikiTree+ must have updated because all my cemetery categories are now gone from that report!  Now how do I find them except pulling up every profile?

---

The categories do appear to have vanished from the template/categories column.  I think you should start a new G2G post and ask about them.

---

The cemetery categories are now back in WikiTree + and updated!

Terrific!
