 We are here for another episode of Wicked Tree Tours with me, Ewan, Porstall, Azure, who is our tour guide through the site, and Julie, who's here to smile and continue, right? To offer insight to Alizm. Yes. Right. And I can watch comments too. And watch the comments. So make comments, cause Julie's watching. Yeah. No, we're excited. Today we want to share some of the Wicked Tree Browser extension features with you. If you're not familiar with that, it was released when? A few months ago, end of the year. I think it was in November, yeah. Yeah, yeah, cause it was right after the October sun. And they are adding stuff to it on a regular basis, which is awesome. So there's several kind of different themes for the browser. There's global features. There's ones for profiles. There's one for editing. So we're just gonna go through some of the more global features today and share those with you guys. So we'll just have Azure jump right in. Okay. So there is a space page, Wicked Tree Browser extension where you can learn more details about the extension and how to use it more. But today we're gonna just talk through some different aspects. I just wanna touch briefly on access keys. So an access key is going to be different for PC versus Mac. And they're just basically quick keys to get you somewhere. So I'm just gonna share, get into G2G is I'm on a Mac. So I'm going to do the shift. I'm sorry, shift control option G takes you right to the D2G. So that's what the access keys are. And... Yeah, those are nice and handy. If it doesn't work for you, check that Wikipedia access keys article because some things are a little different in browsers. It's different by browser also. So... And operating systems. Yeah, so there's a link here for that, Wikipedia access keys. So, oh, and I... There's a handy shortcut in case... Yeah. And just also I was gonna show, I forgot to show first, here is when you have... I have Chrome. So, and I have it pinned to my browser up here. So that's why, what this is up here. And this is where you can go through and turn stuff on or off. As you can see, I have pretty much everything turned on. I'm just gonna briefly show and turn on for you guys the dark mode. So dark mode just shows you, instead of having the white background, it has the black background. So whatever your preference is that way. I'm just gonna turn that back to normal. It's gonna say, please put it back, my eyes can't handle that. I know. It just looked wrong for WikiTree. I know. Okay, so there's dark mode just briefly. And then the apps menu is... The next thing we're just gonna show you. So from the find menu, there is a drop down for apps to show you all the different apps that are available. It's a pretty long list that we have. So all of them are listed here. Also, there is a my menu option and you can see down here in the lower left hand corner is the options. There are the different apps. And you can actually, if there's one you like, you can put it in your menu. So let's say... And where will the my menu show up again, Azure? Because it looks a little, it's off. Yeah, let me, here we go. So here's my menu. So I've added... Oh, there we go. The teaching builder to my menu. So basically you can put in your menu things that you use often. You can also sort those. So if you wanna do them alphabetically, you can move them around. Yeah. When you're in the my menu page, you can move them around to put them in whatever order you want. Yeah. Yeah, you can drag them. Yep, drag and drop. And then also just, like it gives you a lot of options from the menu to add, but right below where Azure is right now, it says add any link. So you can really add anything to this menu. It doesn't have to necessarily be from the many pages. You just copy the URL there and whatever you wanna call it. Like Sandy was... Yeah, that would be... She has... Sandy said she has a lot of stickers there. Yeah. So you could add links to the different stickers you use a lot or... Or somewhere I go a lot for getting images for those that died young. So I go there a lot. Remember the children images page. And yeah, another place I go a lot is the external links template pages. Make sure I'm using something right. Okay, so next. So that's the my menu. Also in my menu that we wanted to show and I've got it queued up here in my menu saved is the random profile button. I love this button. So I'll just take you right to a random profile out there. I like to just go to a random one. Probably not that one since it has a lot of stuff done and then see if I can add a source or a person or something in my free time. Yep. That's probably too much. In all of your... In all of my free time. So once a year, once a year and I went to a random profile. I check out a random profile. And then I feel guilty because there's profiles in my watch list that I can work on too. But it's just, I don't know. It's fun when it's random. Yeah. I agree. It is. I like to do that too. Yeah. So I'm just gonna do one more random profile. Okay. So I'm gonna go back and on my great grandfather's profile I'm gonna select the printer friendly bio option which is now available with the browser extension. And what it does is it just gives you the page with the biography statements and sources instead of the normal way that you would go and print the page which gives you the web page, the whole web page. This option gives you just the printer friendly version of that biography with the sources and everything there. So that's printer friendly bio. How do you get to that if you don't have it in your my menu? Yeah. So let's go back up here. I think it's on, yeah, here it is. So on the profile ID menu option is where you'll find it. So of course this, these menu options are specific to this whatever profile you're on and there it is. Cool. Okay. Another thing that is available on the my menu is the draft list. See, oh no, it's not on my menu. It's just back here. So on, sorry. Well, you're doing that. Kathy asked, has anyone gotten one of their profiles while using the random button? And it happened to me once actually the other day when we were kind of going through a run through of this I clicked on it and I got one of my profiles and it was really confusing for a minute. You're like, what? What happened? That's not random. And the draft list is on your find menu. Yeah. And I have to have a couple of drafts in order for us to see anything there. So let me save a couple of drafts here. Okay. Drafts on the find menu. Here you go. Everybody can see that? And it's showing no drafts. I guess it's like, I closed out of those. I was thinking if I had them open, let's see. I thought it would show them anyway, if you... Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe because you didn't change anything. Did you just save a draft but not change anything? Let's see. There we go. There we go. That did it. Okay. So find and then drafts. Nope. Let me refresh my page here. Maybe it takes, you know how it has 30 minutes? Yeah. Maybe it's after the 30 minutes, it pops up in the drafts. Okay. So we'll come back to that one. Just gonna put another one in there just so it'll have two. There's two drafts saving. Okay. Oh, so the extra watch list, when you're on, let me open up a random profile real quick here. Random profile, do, do, do. Okay. So say you want to keep track of changes made to this profile. You wanna kind of keep an eye on it, but you don't necessarily wanna have it on your trusted list because you don't want a whole bunch of profiles over 5,000 on your trusted list. So at the top here is the plus side. If you click on that, it adds it to your watch list. So now if I go to this button that's right next to it, it'll show me a list of profiles that are on my extra watch list. And you can export this file. And what that does is it shows up as a text file. And it's just a comma separated values file here. Let me, oh, it's not wanting to come over here. Oh, I know why it's doing that. Okay. There we go. So this is what it looks like when you get the output from exporting your watch list. So if you wanted to import something into your watch list, all you'd have to do is create this comma separated values text file of the wiki tree IDs. And that would add it to your watch list. Yeah, a lot of people are looking at that as the solution to the more than 5,000 profiles on the watch list. Yeah. Or when there's profiles that you don't necessarily want to be on the PM or trusted list because you have a big watch list, this is a good turnaround. It's a way to follow stuff without getting all of the notifications for everything that happens on those profiles. That too? Yeah. Yeah, that too. So the next thing we wanted to share was the, at the bottom of the page, there it is, the Google search box. So instead of having to go to the top and go find search, you can just wherever you're at on wiki tree, you can go in just to the bottom of the page and type in whatever you'd like to search categories, images, help pages or all wiki tree pages. So just kind of give you an idea. Do you know how many profiles you can have on that? On the extra watch list? Uh-huh. Let's see, is there a limit? It doesn't say. They don't say on the help page. Let's see. Yeah, Ian doesn't specify if there's a limit. One thing to note though is if you clear your cache, like your cookies, et cetera, you might lose your extra watch list. So he suggests that you export it before you clear the cache and then if you do happen to lose it, you can just import it right back in. Yeah. So let's check those drafts. There they are. There's my drafts. Yay. Yay. It does work. So I'm just gonna save those. Let's just look a couple, a few minutes for that to show up there then. Yeah. Okay, so the next thing I just wanna show, so you're on a profile and now we have, I don't know if anybody else noticed, I really appreciate is that the inline citation, little number is kind of a superscript and it's smaller. So it's kind of nice. It's not so big at the end there. I really like that. And then if you hover over it and you have this enabled on the WikiTree browser extension, it will give you what's called a source preview, a preview of that source citation. So it's really nice. Yeah, then you don't have to scroll down. Yeah, you can just, oh, just hover. Yep. It's really nice. Okay. Oh, another thing that's kind of similar is the space page preview. So let's go over to, just kind of give you an idea of what that looks like. I'm just gonna go to my navigation homepage where I have a bunch of links to stuff. And one place I go a lot is the social media page. And so if you hover over it, it gives you a preview of that page. And then also when you are on a page, another space page, you can say, I wanna see what other pages on WikiTree links to this page. And this will give you what's linking to this page. So you can do like the same thing for any of the pages. You can just go there and it'll show you everything that's. Where can you do that if it's not in your my menu? I don't know. And where do I go? I think you have to add it to the, do you have to add it to the, let's see. Under the find menus, supposedly. Okay, let me go to. Oh yeah, it is. It's under the find menu. Okay. What links here? That makes sense. Find out what links here. That does come in handy sometimes, especially, you know, like I had some formatting I needed to clean up with one of the source space pages that I put together a while back. Yeah. And using that, what links here allowed me to find all the profiles where I had used that. So I could just pop into each one and do a little cleanup and be done with it. Yeah. Okay. So that covered everything on the page. And now we have this for the global features. It's amazing what they're doing for us. I love this stuff. I know it's perfect. You guys that are watching, do you have a favorite feature of the browser extension that you use? Do you have questions that we can answer? We have a little bit of time. If you wanna throw some questions in the chat, could tell us how great we are. That's okay too. Do you guys have one, a feature that you really like the best or a lot? Looks like Sandy and Kathy are talking about the source, let's see, collapsible sources. So you can hide the sources or you can turn this feature on or off, whichever you prefer. I think that's like the only one I have turned off. Yeah, I don't like that one. We actually had an issue with, I think it was in the Rangers the other day where someone thought that a member was not adding sources to their pre-1700 profiles, but it turned out that they had that slider turned on in their browser and so they couldn't see them very easily. But they figured it out quickly. So they didn't, it was just like a momentary little. Yeah. Oops. Yeah. So the space page has all the information and then if you have the browser extension pinned to your browser, this is where you can go and through and turn stuff on or turn stuff off, see what the options are. Tommy said the table button on the connection finder page is his favorite. Yeah. Connection finder. Except on, I guess I maybe haven't looked at that yet. The connections page or the connection finder. Maybe I don't have that turned on because I'm not seeing it. Table button on the connection finder. Do you have to? Is it? Does he mean? Is it the DNA connections table? Or the my connections? There's a... I have everything enabled except the dark mode, I think. I wonder if he means on my connections where you can click the table to see the list of... Oh, here we go. My connections adds button to the my connections page to create tables of people in each degree. Oh, my connect, yeah. This is what he's talking about, right? I think so. So you just go from your CC7 number on your profile to get there and then... Yeah. There's the degree count and total table. I was looking away that I was trying to find it. Oh, sure. Okay, so... You just got a few seconds. Connection. They're my links trade? Yeah. Missing connections table. Oh, Sandy really likes the clipboard feature. I do too. I have to pop that up there because I use that a lot too. It comes in handy if you're doing a lot of repetitive. And pasting. I like how I can have multiple, these are my little test ones. Yeah. And then there's notes where you can keep notes up here too. I still haven't used the notes for anything. I would love to hear what other people are using that for because I haven't really found a use for it for myself yet. Yeah, I don't really use it at the moment. Oh, Patty, I love that too, where you go to a profile and it automatically shows you the degrees where you're from that person or your relationship. Yeah, that's nice. Very nice. That's super handy. I'm finding that I'm related to like... Since I work with a lot of new members stuff, I'll go to look at a new members profile and if they put their, you know, a newer member, not brand new, but if they've already got their tree or they've connected in, I can see that I'm already connected to them. Yeah, that's a lot of fun. And another thing that I like too is that it's assorted this by degrees, you know, the weekly connections focus. Yeah, I like that part too. Very cool stuff. Very clever people. Yeah, we were talking about... Oh, looks like Sandy is using notes for the sample text for cemetery photos. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. Now see, I would probably put that in the clipboard. And Kathy, you can have multiple items in the clip clippings. You can write, is that what she's... Excellent, excellent suggestion, Sandy. Export the clipboard. Yes, very good. Yes, go to the other one. Yeah, there is feedback on a G2G post that you can go to. I think it's linked on the space page, right? Under communication. Yeah, should be. Yeah, they don't have suggestions. They don't have suggestions directly, hang on. They do, they definitely do. Oh, yeah, it's under testing and feedback actually. So if you go to the testing and feedback G2G post that's linked in the wiki tree browser extension page, you can ask for suggestions there. Or you could probably just use the wiki tree apps tag on a post too, if you wanted to do that. WT underscore apps. So we were talking about what everybody would like to see for the next tours. Yeah, we talked about doing like about connections, like the relationship finder, connection finder, CC7s, that connections page we were just looking at. We talked about that. We could do another segment on other parts of the wiki tree browser extension. We could do another thing we had on list was challenges. We could talk about all the different wiki tree challenges and types and how you can get involved and let us know what you guys, what do you guys want to know? Cause that's what we want to tell you about. We're here for you. Oh yeah, Kathy said, she has her greeter messages in her clipboard. So she had a separate chat. Oh, I wonder if that, I wonder if you could separate those out by putting those in your notes thing instead of in your clipboard because you can copy you can copy from the notes, right? Yeah. Manually. Other parts of the browser extension. Sandy, the last one of these we did, we did add in the new way to add a profile. So. That was in February. Oh, watch that one. Yeah. We thought about doing the other parts of the browser extension in April. And we also tossed around the idea of doing the CC7 connection finder in my connections in April. So, you know, we would love to get feedback on what you all would like to see. Since we're, the challenge, the connectathon in April is the 21st through the, so it might be kind of fun to do connection finder and. All the good connection related things. Yeah. So the next WikiTree tours would be scheduled for April 17th. So it'd be right before the connectathon. So it might be kind of fun to see. Right. And then we can do more browser extensions in May. I think that's a splendid idea, ladies. It's fun. It would be fun to see, you know, really focus on showing people about their CC7 and trying to take a snapshot of what that is before the connectathon. And then here's where it is afterwards. Yeah. Is that, I wonder if everybody's gonna be focusing on their CC7 again, this connectathon, or if they're, everybody's gonna be working on different projects. It's always fun to see what people will be focusing on. I don't know. It's pretty, I need to decide. I'm sure if we started talking about the connection finder, et cetera, for the connectathon, we would run into some questions about the connectathon while we're going. So we would get a little quick rundown of how that works at the same time. Yeah. That sounds good. There's another good suggestion, the Sorcer extension. Well, I'll add it to our list, Kathy. We have a plan at some point to cover some of the more popular apps that are available. Yep, yep. And I've had people talk about requesting kind of like a walkthrough for Discord. So I don't know if we'll wanna cover that on the WikiTree tours or what do you guys think about that? Yeah, probably like a little bit later down the road, maybe like summertime. Yeah, that's a good idea. The Discord party was fun. It was, hopefully we'll have more of those. I hope to increase my CC7. That's a good goal. I need to add, I have a lot of biological family, I still need to add. So I'm leaning towards working on that. I see a number of people that are just watching. Do you guys have anything to add to the comments? Any suggestions for going forward? Any questions on what we've covered today? Any great ideas on how you've used some of the features of the browser extension? Or additions you'd like to see to it? Do you guys have anything that you would like to see on it too? Do I? You or others? I would like it to just automatically go out and clean up all the profiles on my watch page. Add sources to all the research. I'm kidding. That would take all the fun away, wouldn't it? That would answer all my emails. Can it do that? Now that one I could get on board with. Yeah. I think it would be cool if the preview for the space pages had a link up here at the top so that you could, I mean, you're already, you have it here, but it'd be nice if the top part of the page showed too. Yeah, like the profile previews do. Oh yeah. Now there's a question for Melanie. She wants to explain how to use random profiles. So I can say what I would use it for. I just, if I sit down at my computer and I've got some extra time and I just wanna work on something else, just pop into a random profile and maybe clean up the JEDCOM stuff or see if I can add sources or clean up the formatting or something. That's how I use it. How much you guys? Yeah, pretty much the same. And the 15 for 15, one of the things is the random profile improvement. So you can use that for, you know, for doing that. Yeah. Or marking that off your list on your 15 for 15. So Melanie, I don't, I hope that's what you were asking in your question. You said how to use them. So it's on the find menu if you've got the extension installed. So you would just go to your, to wiki tree to the find menu and then click on random profile. Right here. And voila. And voila. And you Ferguson from Cockermouth, England. And I just found one that I just did that and I pulled up a profile from 2011 that has no dates and no locations. Well, there you go. So there I can't, I'm not gonna be able to go eat lunch when we get done here. I'll just have to work on that. Okay. So I just did it and I got this guy Francis Everett Hood who apparently went by Butch. And there's not really much in his profile but it's got like his spouse, his kid and it's got a couple of really cool pictures. Awesome. It's got his two dogs in their puppies. Oh. Yay. That's the profile I had. You know how we all like dogs. It's good. It's dogs and pie. Hood 3347. Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome. That's a great picture. Look at that. You can hold puppies in the tire. That's adorable. So cute. Now I'm like, well, who's Francis then? Like, who's this guy? Who is this guy? Oh, he's from Illinois. Let's see, I don't even know where Culturegole is. We can just do random profile videos where we just pick one and get totally distracted. Oh, that's a wrap up. I bet we could get some good collaboration going on here. Everybody be out there researching. It's true. So where is Cultureville in relation to, I don't know, Chicago? Oh, let me go look. Cause now I'm curious. Maybe I'm related to the guy. It's in Randolph County. Cultureville. Here it is. Here's St. Louis. Oh, it's down south. South, south, south, way south of him. Yeah. Probably not related to my branch of the Illinois family then. What's the profile ID again? Hood 3347. He's got a bunch of sources out there on family search and if he wants to go. I am connected to him. I'm 26 degrees from him. So he's not in my family yet. I see it's only, only his parents have been added. He's got five kids. And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven siblings according to five degrees. There's a big- Do you all notice that the school has now opened up and we have dove, we dove right in? We're right there. Wait, Tommy said he likes the sortable columns in table view on a surname page. Yes, I do too. That's not from the extension though. Is it, is there something you're thinking of from the extension that I wasn't? Cause I love that too. I use it a lot. Who is the farmer? I know you all want to know this. The table view is there already, I think. Yeah, the sort. It would be nice to be able to sort by manager, but we can't do that. I don't know why, but we can't. Maybe because there's often more than one manager on a profile. Oh yeah, that could be. Oh, Brian, talking about when are we gonna get, getting a spot on WikiTree to add pets? So for my pet, this is what I did. So we had a scan up on a couple of years ago, and I just made album pages for my Robinson Peezley family space page that I have out there. I made albums. And one of the album pages is for our dog Tiger. So that's an option that you can do is just have a space page. So this is my mom and Tiger. I have one for one of our dogs. Yeah. Just a fun way to share about the family pet. Yeah, that's what free spaces pages are great for. He jumped through the hoop, but he was. I know a lot of, I've seen him. Had him trained. He's a cutie. So Tommy, you were talking about the table sorting. I think that that's not part of the WikiTree browser extension that I can see. I think it might be another extension. At least I couldn't find it. I know one of our DNA gurus on WikiTree, Peter Roberts, he created a free space page for his dog and because he did DNA on his dog. Oh really? And so he has all that information. Yeah, he has all that info out there on the free space page for his dog. Molly's being antisocial. What's that? Are you trying to get Molly? My two are sleeping. It's nap time here. Hi, Molly. Hello, Jordy. She can't hear me, can she? She never will look at the screen. She does the same thing when I try and take her picture. It's like, I don't know how she's... Yeah, that's a Susie does too. This looks away. I think it's a girl dog thing because my female dog, Casey, will not look at the camera, will not do anything like that either, but Joey will. He poses, yes? A ham. Me? No, Joey. No, I know, I meant that. That's him going. He's like, oh, Sandy also did DNA on her dog. That's cute. All Yorkie, all Yorkie all the time. I did DNA on mine too, and they both came back as, yeah, lots of breeds on my dogs. Oh really? What? Yeah. They have some primaries, and our 40 pound Joey has a big chunk of Chihuahua in there. So surprising. That was very surprising. Hi, Kristen. Kristen's here from Portugal. We do have a Portugal project actually, if I recall. We do. Find menu, huh? Yeah, go ahead. Find menu and click projects. You can do a search on that page or just scroll down on the table of contents and you'll find the Portugal project. Oh, there. And then you'll find a link on there to go to the G2G post where you can express interest about joining a project. I'm sure they probably also have a bunch of resources and stuff on their project page that might be helpful to you. Yeah. You can also post to the G2G forum if you have a specific question and use the tagged Portugal. Right. And they've gone do a lingual on that page. So that's Andy. All right, we'll have to earn more questions. I think we'll wrap it up and do this again in April. Alrighty. Sounds good to me. My tummy's rumbling. Time to go eat. Someone else in it because I can't reach it right now because of Molly. I could do it. All right, everybody, thanks for stopping by and we'll see you in about a month. Bye.
