Is there a WikiTree suggestions page?

Question

I would like to know if there would be some way to include a simpler way to add the sources for our information.  Perhaps a check-box of sorts.

As a long time genealogist, I have worked with three different styles of research, two being online.  The main one I use has an automatic repository that adds the document to the person as the information is also added and verified.  The second, you add the information, verify it, then add the repository to your 'bank'.  Once it is there you then have a pull-down screen and can easily add whatever document from there that you have used before.

I suggest this because I am not a coder and find adding the document information (while vastly important) tedious, and difficult for someone that is not accustom to this type or variety of writing.  I believe that once this type of service were to be installed you would have more participation and accuracy of records.

Thank you

I keep all my most used sources in a Word document.  Then I just copy and paste and add the specific page #.

I do the same.

Opps that link doesn't work any more. I'll have to talk to the App creator.

You can find it at Wikitree x at chrome store

It allows you to import a profile, add a family member or update a profile from another site. 

Sorry, it doesn't bring the sources over (Yet).

Be careful using copy / paste from Word docs if the 'smart' quotes are used. Those can cause suggestions.

I have a space page that contains example citations for my most-often used sources. I just copy/paste from that. No issues with smart quotes when using the space page!

I use Wikitree x a lot. It's an add-on to Chrome. 

The link now works,

This Chrome extension is a great! :

I find it's especially useful when I need to create profiles for an entire family in WikiTree, and their profiles on FamilySearch are accurate.  The extension for a Chrome browser, WikiTreeX, does a 'screen scrape', copies the information from FS, and completes forms in a page for entering profile info at WikiTree.  There is almost a constant opportunity for you to verify and edit the information as its entered. The end result is a new WikiTree profile with a citation from the individual's FS profile that looks like this :
"Family Tree," database, FamilySearch (http://familysearch.org : modified 02 December 2019, 16:46), entry for Horace Knowles(PID https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/4:1:LRGR-7W6); contributed by various users.

After you learn to use it, it's possible to add sources (copy-paste) as you create the profile.  

I much appreciate the work that has been done to create this!  And of course it can be used in other ways to edit, etc.

Answer 2

I only use one source repeatedly, and that's a cousin's genealogy.  Other than that, I generally use a Family Search citation, which I copy from Family Search.  Having a drop-down menu that lets me put in stock sources wouldn't work for me.  Just as in a library, every book should have a unique call number (I know they don't in public libraries, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't), nearly every source is unique.
