Notifications of changes to a profile I don’t admin?

Question

Is there any way of getting notifications of changes to a profile I don’t admin? I’d love to be notified of any progress made on my ancestors, but don’t have a need to admin them. I also lack pre 1500 certification so I couldn’t ask to join the trusted list even if I wanted to.

Hi R. If you use or are willing to start using the WikiTree Browser Extension, see the Extra Watchlist feature described at

Thank you. I’ll look into that. Does it work on iPad?

You can also check your Family Activity Feed from the "My Wikitree" menu.  There is a tab for Ancestors which shows all activity on their profiles.

Thank you, Kathie. This was exactly what I was looking for. I can even filter to just show ancestors. The result was a bit overwhelming, but it’s fun to see that work is being done nearly every day.

You can add the surname(s) to your followed tags, use the Extra Watchlist feature (Jim mentioned this already), or if there are specific profiles you want to keep tabs on, ask to join the Trusted List.

Thank you for the suggestion, Steven. I lack the pre 1500 certification so I don’t think I can be added to the trusted list.
