Did you know that there is a "Meet our Members" sticker?

Question

Have you ever been interviewed in one of the Meet our Members articles?  If so, there is a sticker for you that you can put on your profile: Template:Meet Our Members

For current article interviews use this format:

{{Meet Our Members|g2g=1094560}} replacing the 7 digit number with the G2G number of your interview.  You can find the number as part of the web address (URL) where at the page where the G2G article is posted.  It displays as:

If you were interviewed in the old blog, use this format:

{{Meet Our Members|meet=meet-darlene}}

after "meet=" the portion of the URL of the blog page should be used, in this case:

http://www.wikitree.com/blog/meet-darlene/

That displays as:

If you haven't yet been interviewed in a "Meet our Members" interview, keep building the tree and volunteering to help with projects and you might be next! 

Answer 1

Who qualified?

Comments

I don't know why I was selected, but I was asked by Eowyn whether I would like to do this interview.

Answer 2

SJ, quick note:
The correct form for the 'old version' of the sticker is: {{Meet Our Members|meet=meet-our-members-<firstname>-<surname>}}

What you displayed has been incorrect for at least a couple of years and for some reason never corrected

It works fine with given name only, provided of course that it's unique within the group. If there are two or more with the same given name, I'd guess that you'll need the surname also.

The ultimate "future-proof" solution would be to use the WikiTree ID, and I don't understand why this wasn't considered by the one(s) who set up this template.

I believe that it should match the URL of the interview page at the blog.  If the URL reads:

http://www.wikitree.com/blog/meet-darlene/

then the template format would be: {{Meet Our Members|meet=meet-darlene}}

If the URL was http://www.wikitree.com/blog/meet-darlene-athey/

then it would be formatted: {{Meet Our Members|meet=meet-darlene-athey}}

Leif, the sticker links back to the interview page.  If it used the Wikitree ID it would link back to the profile page.

---

SJ, you know those urls don't work...

---

http://www.wikitree.com/blog/meet-darlene/ works fine for me.

---

The blog one does, the other does not

Not sure what you mean that the URLs don't work, it appears to me that they do.  Many on this list use the blog URL and others the G2G URL:

https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Meet_Our_Members&limit=500&from=0

Answer 3

Sorry to resurrect this, but it seems a lot of the old interviews have been archived but there's no link to them. All the interview links on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Members/Archive just point to the home page of WikiTree, so there's no link to put with the sticker. Are the old interviews actually housed someplace on the site to be found, and will they work with the sticker template?

Comments

The recent [interview] links on that page do work. The first one that doesn't seems to be for Tara Wildes, and after that as Frank says they all seem to go the home page.

We closed our blog which is where many of those older features were posted.  We have them saved and they'll get added to g2g at some point and the links will be updated.  Or some of them are just being refeatured if a lot has changed since they first were. :-)

The link in my sticker takes me to the g2g index.  Has not worked in quite some time.
I know there is a waybacked version of my interview (but have no idea how to find it), so perhaps others are also waybacked?
