My name is John Kingman. I am a Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project.
Since you have started following a DNA tag, you may be interested in how you can use DNA test matches with your relatives to strengthen your genealogy on WikiTree. You will find the answers in the Help pages, of which the DNA Help category page shows all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started with DNA page is highlighted. Also the DNA Features page can show you various ways that DNA tests can work with your genealogy. For a detailed guide to connecting DNA test results to WikiTree profiles via GEDmatch, look here.
You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" on your profile if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of an acceptable DNA match. You may find that you have acceptable matches with some of them. There is more information about DNA Connections on the DNA Test Connections page.
When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the Confirmed with DNA help page. Also, I strongly recommend using the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker WikiTree app for creating and/or validating your DNA confirmation source citations. Note that a profile should not be marked "confirmed with DNA" without source citations for both genealogy and relevant DNA test matches.
If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation".
Happy WikiTree-ing!

Pippin Sheppard ~ WikiTree Greeter
I am returning to genealogy after a considerable hiatus. I should probably focus my efforts, or I will be overwhelmed! At the moment, I am looking at using DNA to verify my paternal line to George Little (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Little-104). I need to do the documentation on this line from George down to about 1820. I have three or four other projects in the wings. It is not entirely clear to me how Wikitree can help me, but I am exploring.
Regards, Chris Lyttle
You are correct that Wikitree won't let you enter Y-DNA information without selecting your gender. If you select the edit tab, the gender spot is right above your email address. Once you make the change and save, you should be able to enter your DNA test results.
