What is the best privacy choice so others on wikitree can see your tree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The privacy level on WikiTree profiles are independent. For the profile page for yourself, you can use "Private with a Public Family Tree." For non-living people be sure to use Public or Open. The higher the privacy level, the more open it will be and the more that collaboration is possible.

Can someone be addicted to sugar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not physical addiction, like in case of narcotics, since they replace natural substances in the body.

In case of sugar, its only a psychological addiction, not a physical one.

Can someone be addicted to arm tickling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the classic sense: No. But it does feel very good, and that is because the nerve cells that register that kind of stimulation are called Meissner corpusles. They are responsible for the good feeling of light tickling on the surface of the skin. And, my motto is: If it feels good then it is good for you. So, enjoy the tickling and don't be worried about addiction.

What is WikiTree?

Asked by Mumford68

WikiTree.com is a collaborative family history web site started by the same person who created WikiAnswers, Chris Whitten.

WikiTree's mission is to grow a single worldwide family tree with which anyone can freely connect their private family histories. The idea is to strike the perfect balance between collaboration and privacy so that families can share personal information, photos, and memories, while at the same time growing a valuable genealogical resource with distant cousins and strangers.

WikiTree is entirely free. Content is owned by its contributors. The service is supported by modest ads on public pages.

Can you make bulk Trusted List changes to free-space profiles on WikiTree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately, no. The bulk-management tools such as http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:TrustedListChanges currently only work on profiles of people.

You will need to edit the Trusted Lists of free-space profiles one at a time. (Click the Privacy tab on the profile.)

Can you see the results of someone else's GEDCOM upload on WikiTree before deciding to upload your own?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's not possible to see someone else's GEDCOM upload, unless all the profiles created from that GEDCOM are public, or the Profile Manager has added you to the Trusted List for all the profiles.

Here are two random examples of GEDCOM-created profiles: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aadland-12

How do you delete a profile on WikiTree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The delete form for WikiTree is here: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Delete

Note that deleting a person from WikiTree is deleting them from the worldwide family tree, which properly includes everyone who ever lived. If it's a matter of protecting privacy, click the Privacy tab and make the person Unlisted. If it's a matter of duplication, do a merge.

How do you create an account on WikiTree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Click the "register" link in the upper-right corner of any WikiTree page. That will take you to the Account Creation form.

Account Creation requires a first name, last name, e-mail address, and password. You can anonymize your name by using initials. The e-mail address is used for your future logins, Trusted List requests, private messages from other WikiTreers, and weekly updates about changes in the profiles you're Watching.

What does the term redirected user mean on WikiTree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A redirected profile is one that has been merged into another.

For example, if Smith-X is a duplicate of Smith-Y, and Smith-X is merged into Smith-Y, Smith-X becomes a redirected profile. Any remaining links that reference Smith-X will automatically be redirected to Smith-Y.

If WikiTree is supposed to be a single lineage-linked database why does there appear to be a tool to merge entire trees but not a tool to link individuals in other trees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

WikiTree is intended to be a single, worldwide family tree. Ideally, there should be one lineage-linked profile for every individual who ever lived.

The merge tool does not merge entire trees, it merges individuals.

When duplicate profiles of the same individuals are merged, they aren't just linked. They are fully combined into one profile.

How do you use WikiTree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, create an account. This is free.

Then you can start to grow your family tree one person at a time, or by importing a GEDCOM if you have created a family tree elsewhere.

As you create your family tree you can invite family members to contribute by adding their e-mail addresses to their profiles.

As you build your ancestry you may find that distant cousins have already added some of your ancestors.

See the link below for more information.

What is the mission of WikiTree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

WikiTree's mission is to create a worldwide family tree with which anyone can freely connect their private family histories.

WikiTree aims to strike the perfect balance between collaboration and privacy. The site provides a free and easy way to privately share information and organize facts, memories, and photos. At the same time, distant relatives and strangers collaborate on a broader, more public scale to grow the worldwide tree.
