 Everybody welcome to wiki tree bingo. It is Friday and we have special guests here today flow flow you might recognize from the Germany project, but I bet you all didn't know that he also is a volunteer it that works on the apps project. And right now flow you've done a lot of work on wiki tree be correct. I decided to join in the creator. Thank you for exactly that one. Thank you for starting this and for letting me join you. And yeah I had some ideas I did some other stuff before for and we came up with let's put that stuff in be and make it available to more people. And I think we should probably say right from the beginning that a lot of the really interesting items that you see in wiki tree browser extension actually started in be. And Ian moved a lot of items out of be into the wiki tree browser extension. So I think now's a good time to pause and just let everybody know that be is not dead. Because a lot of people were thinking that now that wiki tree browser extension has a lot of the items that be had that be is dead but be is not dead be is taking on just different items. I guess is the best way to say it different functions as well and you exactly came in with a completely different function for categories for example. So be is not dead. That's the main thing that we want to say be is still flying and producing lots of honey. That's a good way of putting it. Why don't we take a tour of bees webpage so everybody can understand since be is still alive. What does be do for us. What is included in be in the first thing flow if you could tell us how do we get it. Yeah, so you go to that space page that Sandy will for sure put in the chat. Where there are the links for your favorite browsers. We still live look at all these things are big. This is interesting. Careful, the lower part of the page contains features that were moved to the browser extension. So if you scroll up a bit to the to the headlines, then you see in the table of contents that we also list the features that moved to browser extension meanwhile. So what can we if we have Chrome, if we have Firefox, if we have Safari, can we use be. So we support Firefox, and we support all chromium based browsers, which is Chrome, Opera, Edge, Vivaldi, and some other smaller ones, chromium. And we also support Firefox, which I would love everyone to use to see using because, yeah. So when you recommend Firefox over because Chrome is owned by a huge company where Firefox is not. So Firefox is free, let's say, and basically Google owns doesn't own Google. Google owns Chrome. Yeah, one can say that and the most of Chrome they put on open source. So others can use it as well. Therefore, edge can use it or cracking use it and so on. But of course they all use the same technique and basically Google gets to determine what is supported and what is not supported and how stuff looks like and can basically shape the future of the web. Therefore, people use Firefox. Also, since. Thank you, Kate. Yes, Kate. Especially last week, or some days ago, they published a new feature which collects even more of your browsing data and exploits your privacy in Chrome. So, yeah. There are definitely security advantages to using Firefox over so that is a concern of anybody that's watching, because these be WBE, for example, those are app extensions that are added to your browser. And if you prefer a more robust, secured browser, then Firefox would be the way to go and wiki tree be supports it. So that's good news. So what is so what would you say that be does for me now. Let's say that I had to be and I assumed that everything went to the wiki tree browser extension, which we call WBE. So let's assume that that I did that. And I said, you know what, be is dead. I didn't know I didn't know be was still live. So why should I reinstall be because it's cool, yellow and black. And basically what got moved to the WBE to the browser extension is stuff that changes the appearance of wiki tree itself of the pages within wiki tree. For example, those pink links you have there are a part of the browser extension. And we'll say if you go to a profile and you see something listed like your grandmother or your cousin relation at the top, or the little circle that shows you your CC seven degrees. Those are the cool things that have transferred over to WBE. So the be though is giving us now a little bit different functionality. They're allowing us to automate quite a bit of things. What do you say. Yes. Plus, we more focus on stuff that is not centered on changing the appearance of the wiki tree page but to utilize other websites to Yeah, to generate categories and to source citations, for example. And since you mentioned source citations, let's bring this up and talk about this as well. So if there is a source location that anybody is going to now and sorcerer, for example, is not handling it so you're doing manual citations. What you want to do is contact the B team and it's led by Ian, and you'll see right on the B page. Here's Ian's name and just send him a message or if you're on discord, you can send him DM through discord. So again, if there's a source location that you use quite often, it's not already in sorcerer, you're doing it manually. The chances are B can create something for you to automate that and make it a little bit easier on you and they can do it fairly quickly as well. I wish I had an example. I don't really have a great example because I know that in the US where I'm based, we use family search, for example, quite a bit and it's pretty comprehensive. But I can think of some of the colonial United States sources, there are a few of them that we research and use as reference sources a lot. So that might be something I could talk to the B team about and say, is there any way that you could automate, like we do with sorcerer already, so I don't have to manually type a website and the information and the access date and all that information. So if you have an example of something that you think that could be automated, feel free, reach out to the B team because they can pretty quickly look at it and let you know if they can do something with it or not. Chances are they will look at it and get it done for you as opposed to telling you no. And if anybody has any ideas, feel free to drop them in chat because Ian is in chat right now as well and he can investigate while Flo and I talk about B and do some live demos as well. Okay, so you can grab sources using B right now. Yep. Yes, we can. For example, if you scroll down to the websites we support there is a list. And let me go ahead and post up the first bingo card so everybody can get that ready as well. So the you would like me to go down to to source citations to the section source citations where you can a little bit further. Yeah, here we go. So we support the usual ones and just refamily search and find the grave I think some were supported before sorcerer had them, but of course sorcerer does a lot more with citations I mean they do Rob does also write narratives from the pages and you can search back and forth and of course that takes time to implement. Since be often just create source citations we are faster but yeah we're also sloppier because we don't support searching in the other websites back and forth and so on which is pretty cool it's awesome. So if you scroll down a little then you will see what pages we support currently and it's interesting that they are not that USA focus so we have thrown for example the huge Australian newspaper archive. We have birth deaths and marriages from New South Wales. We have a French archive we have a Czech archive we have lots of German stuff I wonder why that is. And we also sometimes just call on other tools for example in Italy. And that under Natty website there Greg has built a great tool to build citations and we just forward you so you don't need to copy the link and go to Greg's page and so on. And also in the UK probably for the same reason as for Germany. We also have a lot of sources. Yeah. And matricula we have and so on. Yeah. We have to many and Victoria too. And this is really great that you mentioned that there aren't a lot in the US because again we do have a pretty good resource out there where we do collect things but some people do dive a little deeper. And for example you got the Dar the daughters of American Revolution there that if anybody works with this database you know it's a little tricky to grab the information it takes some time will be has automated. A lot of that so as you're thinking in looking at this list. There are things that they might not know that you use often and would like automated they can only do based on what you suggest or what they already know. And I guarantee you there's probably a lot of miscellaneous type of source repositories out there that could be automated but you just got to let the B team know. And you guys are very I will say you the B team is really awesome about responding very quickly asked they'll ask you a lot of questions so they make sure that they get it right and understand exactly what you need what you're looking for and how to get it right the first time so I really like how quick you guys are but all the wiki tree it volunteers are so awesome. Okay flow what would you like to talk about next with the are we done with this page or you want to do live them. So I mean we could do a small demo on sources just to have it. And I'm going to my screen and let flow drive. And he's going to show us how to use one of the sources that's listed in B. And keep in mind we're we're not replacing sourcer this is an addition this is something a little bit different this is using some of those source repositories that are not already. In sorcerer and I don't think you have any duplication do you. And you might just really family search and find a grave I think we might have meanwhile, both, but their source or usually does a bit of a better job, one must admit, but we were probably first. Well, that's a good thing to point out as well. The reason why it, you guys can get it done a little bit quicker than sorcerers because you're going to give a baseline information and sorcerers going to give a little bit more details to it. So keep that in mind everybody as you start to use B and sorcerer together they will not look identical what they provide you keep that in mind. It's it's not a bug or it's not an issue it's just the way that be can get you information and create those source citations for you automated a little bit easier quicker. So you're going to get some basic information as opposed to source or it does take some time to get that code in to look at the code to debug the code and get it correct with that big chunk of information that source or gives you two different views. Same source. Exactly also with the narratives that source it does and with the possibility to search in websites in parallel and so on so they built the whole package and we're just yeah. Okay, so let's see if I can bring this up I just searched for a random page on trove. For example, that's Australian newspaper repository. And let's say this black forest kindergarten article contains the name of an interesting person or something we are writing a biography for at the moment in victory and then you have this be I can up here. By the way, I'm using Chrome because I had some problems with streaming else I would use fire for us Fox of course so don't get me wrong. So you have the be I can hear. If you don't have the be I can hear it might be hidden in this puzzle piece. Where's the be icon. At the bottom at the top right. Okay, because you're only seeing part of your screen. But it would be in the same place it normally is or where you might keep your sorcerer. The sorcerer has a little one number in green and be is actually a BB. Exactly. Okay, let's try. What did I share now share Firefox now right. Yes. Okay, then I feel more comfortable anyway. Okay, so we have again our trove. Newspaper article and we have the be I can up here. There we go. And we just click the be I can we see a big B for a moment and we have the source code here for to insert as a source in the wiki tree profile. And note it does not only contain the URL, but it also contains the headline of the section taken from here and the page and the date of the newspaper and so on. Also works well with newspapers come for example. And it might be that when you install it and you have too many extensions here in the extensions area. You might need to click the puzzle piece and to trigger be from there. You can also make it a set it to be pinned on that bar. So it's always there. So if you don't have it, click the jigsaw puzzle piece and you will find the be here in the list. If you use wiki tree a lot. And it's also cute. I like looking at my little be at the top. And I will mention to that. I'm glad you said that as soon as you use be you'll see that little pop up screen with the be. Now a lot of people will see that and then they'll look away and they'll think that something is wrong because they're not seeing this particular screen. I'm going to guess flow you have a pretty quick computer some people have a little bit slower computers so it takes a while for the be to disappear to come over. I've gotten a lot of people ask me but the bees there nothing's happening I'll go give it a second and it will come over to this particular pop up with your source. So all you do is copy clicking copy copy and you go to the wiki tree profile which I don't have at hand now. And you insert it at the sources list. Now take a random profile and you can hear go to the sources section and you insert it at the sources section or stay right here for a second. So we're not doing inline is this inline sources or this is just the bullet item source. Currently it's some have no wait all have here a little checkbox which can turn it into an inline source. Okay. And if you remove it then you will have a bullet source for the big list. Okay. So just to remind those that may be new to wiki tree when we talk about inline sources inline sources give a little bit of a narrative. You put that above the scores this category and because the IT programmers have coded it in a certain way what happens is you save that profile when you look at it again automatically. You'll have a little narrative line in the source will automatically be put below in the sources section. That's what inline is. I think a lot of people use inline but then also a lot of people use what I call bullet sources and that's what flow shows at the very beginning. And for bullet sources you always want to make sure that those are below the sources and below if you can highlight that reference with the slash because I know that we get a lot of questions about that. So you always put it below that the sources section and below that reference tag that's actually code that says stop all references that are listed up above and those references above are called inline. So if you're using bullet you want to put it below what flow has highlighted because bullets are not inline. They're completely separate. They're just grab and go and put under the sources. Okay. Thanks. I know this is confusing. I see this a lot inline versus bullet. So if you guys have any questions, feel free to reach out to flow and he'll help you out. He missed that. That was pretty slick. I thought. Okay. So how about if we do the first bingo card? Let me go ahead and if everybody has their bingo card up. Sorry guys. I gave you guys the wrong link at first. My apologies. Make sure that you have the right link to play. Let me give you it to you one more time. And we'll do the first bingo card. Now while we talk about the first bingo card, I've got some really exciting news to share with you about bingo and prizes. And let me get my screen up. Okay. So while everybody gets their bingo card up, if you win a prize today, guess what? A winner for himself has been busy working behind the scenes at the store, at the wiki tree store. And she's been adding in the Thon team's merchandise logos. So for example, on my team, we have a little logo, little round logo of a raccoon. She's added that into the wiki tree store so you can get a mug with your Thon team. If your Thon team has given a win their logo. She's been working really hard. If you guys did the wiki games, she has added in each team. So I was on Fantastic First, for example, so I could get a mug or a shirt with my wiki games team if I'd like. Or you can always do the ever popular Friday night bingo mug. It's up to $30. And I will link to the store after the bingo. So if you would like to go ahead and purchase it because you did not win a prize, you can also do that. Lots of options. Okay. So Flo gave us a list of words and we're going to go ahead and start. I like this though. I got to say Joko. I really like that. Freebie. Okay. Okay. Oh, fb. Yes, worse repository. Yes, this is a collection of local heritage books from the German society for computer genealogy. And we support them as sources online minus office. They have a lot of places. And I did forget to mention the rules of bingo. So the rules of bingo, if you won in the past 60 days, you cannot win a prize, one prize for a family in 60 days. Also, you can get it vertical, diagonal, horizontal. Use your mouse to click to dab it. If you accidentally dab it, click your mouse again and it'll disappear. And I believe I have a free space. You guys don't have to remind me. I think I have the B as the free space. If that's the case, go ahead and click that now to get you a head start. The first person who says bingo in the chat that it actually has bingo wins the prize. So a lot of you could have bingo at the same time, but whoever's the quickest to type it in and keep that in mind because that will be handy for you guys. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I said every six months. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. My fault is a Friday today. I don't know what is going on with my brain. Thank you, Lisa. Every six months, not 60 days. Six months, six months. So if you have won a prize in the last six months, you cannot win a prize again until that six months has gone over. Thank you, Joku. Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate it. Okay. I do have a question about sources though for the, for B that uses, do I have to have a membership already to get the source from B? Maybe someone- For this one now. So for entry, you need to see the page of course. Yeah. But most of those are free anyway. Okay. Of those we support Safari. Good topic. We don't support Safari yet. Okay. Now we have a lot of people that do have Apple products. Will you support it in the future? Is that in the plans? Are you working on it? Or still figuring it out? No comment. Okay. That's good. Source citations. Maybe Ian can say something, but I would stay with no comment for the moment. Okay. Yes, source citations is one of our key features, I would say. And keep in mind what Flo just showed, where he copied and put it in a profile that is a source citation. Okra is a Chromium based browser and we support it. CIB category info boxes. We can also generate, which I will hopefully show you later. New South Wales birth-death marriages is a website which contains those and which we support with source citations. And again, I'm going to pause one more time to mention that a lot of genealogists, we will use BDM. We'll say it really quick. We'll say it fast. We'll type it in Discord. We'll type it there and a lot of people go, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's BDM? What's BDM? And as Flo just mentioned, it's a birth-death marriages. A lot of people will try to include a birth, a death, and a marriage. Some will also include veteran information if there's something like that in a profile and they will consider that appropriate sourcing. So a sourceathon is coming up in about two weeks. You'll see a lot of people that will add BDM information. WBE is what most of the Vicky Tree site-related features move to the Vicky Tree browser extension. And again, I think that Flo, you explained it really, really well. So all the things on how to make it look different, better, interesting, informational, that has moved out of B and into WBE. So the kind of- Most of it. Most of it. So there are some, yeah, a hive. So a collection of pack of bees lives in a hive. Now, see, you guys have to use this for something now and be because it's just too cool. Actually, I have some Discord groups where we test and those are called testing hives. That's great. And I see we've got somebody already one away from bingo. So if you guys are close, let us know. Yellow, black, yeah, like the bee. Like the bee. Has yellow, black stripes. Wikipedia we use to generate categories from which I will, like I said, hopefully show you later. Yeah, I definitely want to show this. This is really, really amazing what can be done now with bee. I'm not going to even tell you. I'm going to let you let flow demo because it's so great. Landisarchiv Bad Lundberg is National Archives of the state of Bad Lundberg, which we also support because I use them heavily. So I wanted to have them in. So you use this heavily. You used to have to go and do this manually. You'd have to create the source citation all from scratch. And then you said, you know, I use this. Let me create this. Did you find that as a programmer that it was fairly easy to create? Because a lot of times we don't, we use everybody's tools and their tricks, but we don't know how long it takes for you guys to actually build something like this. So a website, to build a source citation from a website, it strongly depends if all the information is all on the one website you have it. And if it's all there and then it's not that much effort and a lot can be done in 30 minutes or an hour to copy the stuff together. It gets ugly when you have to convert things, when you have to collect things from other websites and so on. So just so you guys know, this is kind of why I've asked this question, B can get some of the information for source citation fairly quickly. Again, it's a basic source. It's not as detailed a source or but it still helps you from creating it from scratch like Flo had to do for this particular one. We have got so many people one away. So let's see if the next word is gonna get us a bingo. Gravestones. Yeah. Compton Society for Computer Genealogy, the German one also has their, there's a bingo, but they also have a gravestone project where they photograph whole cemeteries and index the data, a bit like find a grave, but without commercial interest. Okay, so we do have a bingo. So I'm gonna keep this up for just a second and might hold that thought and I will tell you how to get your prize because I wanna go to Ian's comment really, really quickly. There we go. So it's the kind of thing that LABW, which was the clue before this that we can add to be, don't be afraid to ask. And I cannot stress this enough. Don't be afraid to ask because when we exit this bingo, Flo's gonna give some demos and I'm gonna show you what I asked and Flo's gonna tell me how he created it. Okay, so congratulations Mike on your bingo win. Let me tell you how to get your prize. Give me one second. So you're gonna come over and you're gonna email A-Win and she is going to give you the link to the store and tell you what prize amount. It's about $30 that you can win. So look at the store, see if there's something that you like. If you're on the wiki games, then you could win select, excuse me, select a wiki games mug or shirt if you're in the thon and on a team. If your thon team has given A-Win the information logo, you can pick that. Also wanna mention that this is wiki trees 15th anniversary and there are 15th anniversary collectable edition t-shirts that are available there as well. Okay, so Flo, I'm gonna have you share your screen and then let's talk about some demos. Do you guys wanna see some really, really great demos and things that have been asked of the B programmers because that's what Flo's gonna show us next. Yeah, no pressure. By the way, you can also get Germany genies merchandise in the shop. Yes, you can. Someone has to mention that. You can. If A-Win's still in the chat too, definitely A-Win drop us some information on who we can get. And while Flo brings up his screen, I'm gonna put the wiki tree store information in. If you did not win a prize today at Bingo, then you can also go to the store and purchase. Let me go ahead and bring that up. You can purchase it yourself. And I can tell you, there's a whole bunch of really cool things. There's mugs, there's glasses, there are t-shirts, there are hoodies, there are long sleeve shirts. There's a whole bunch of different items that you can choose from. Okay, so Flo, if you'll share your screen and then tell us what you are going to demo. Okay. And actually, can you make your screen a little larger? There we go, perfect. Okay. And I just see that we picked a bit of a bad example, but we'll try anyway. Okay, so we found this profile on wiki tree of a person that was buried in the Chapman cemetery in Diana, West Virginia. But there is no cemetery category yet. So one would need to now create a cemetery category and start copying from Find a Gray, for example, the name and the location and so on and the address. Or you can just use B, you click on the button. You are on the cemetery page. Make sure you're not on the page of an individual memorial like this one, for example, because if you click the B button, then you will get a nice citation for this person, for this memorial, which you can use as a source. But in order to create a cemetery category, you want to be on the cemetery page. You can also see that in the URL, it says cemetery. And now you click the B button. And there is an option. I just left it on in order to be reminded of it. There is an option for the US Black Heritage Project, because those cemeteries for the US Black Heritage Project are a bit different. Therefore, you can activate this pop-up here that will ask you if this is a US Black Heritage Project cemetery. It is not, therefore, I will click cancel. And here you see now, so we were on that cemetery page and now we are at the category page. It does not exist. Just to- Can you hold on one second? I just want to let everybody know that what he just showed you, all that code, I know he mentioned it, but I want to make sure everybody understands, did not exist at all. So we have a couple of different types of people that do WikiTree. There are some that know how to do categories, love doing categories, very, very good about making sure there's no duplicates and the categories are done right with the name and the locations. Those people are great and a lot of times you'll see I need a category added on G2G. And most of those times I would say are cemetery categories as well. Now, for those of you that are in chat, you know this well, but those of you that might not be from Appalachia, we have a million cemeteries in one county practically. I mean, we have a lot of cemeteries. They will bury people on a farm and they'll be five people there and they'll name a cemetery. You know, the Chapman family farm cemetery. I mean, we have so many cemeteries that this takes a tremendous amount of time of our day to create cemetery categories. Again, when Flo did this, this is why I call this the instant cemetery category creator. It's done. Okay, so sorry to put in a wrong subject. No problem. So just to show you how it's usually done. So you go to this category page, for example, by adding the category that doesn't exist to the profile. And then you have this blank page here and you can select the cemetery info box. And now it will ask you all the data and you will have to copy the name from find a grave. And then you will have to copy the parent, which is the county. So you have to copy the county and West Virginia and so on. And it's quite a hassle to copy back and forth. It is a lot of work, trust me. This is a lot of work. This is the old way. It is a tremendous amount of work. And you remember I mentioned during bingo, I was talking to Flo, we were DMing about something and I was like, I have about 10 cemetery categories I have to create. This is gonna take me about five hours. And he said, you know what? I think B can handle this. Exactly. And now you go to the cemetery page, you click the B button and you receive this code, which is the same as you would enter here and do update changes. Then you would also have the code, but you still have to copy everything from find a grave, for example. And now you have it here generated with the parent categories already filled in with the find a grave ID, the name. There would be address and coordinate, but our example cemetery doesn't have a location. Therefore, we don't have coordinates at the moment. Yeah. And now you make sure that the data is correct. You might also want to click here on the coordinate on the map link. If you would have one, let me just find you another cemetery, which might look similar, which might which has more data. So we were at a spring growth cemetery in Ohio now, we're traveling fast today. And here you also see what happens when you try to create an existing cemetery. So you will receive a warning that be careful what you're doing there. You might destroy what was put in there before. And here you see the current version of the category because it exists already. And here you see what be created on the right, what be created and what would be saved now. And for example, you would lose here the webpage. You would not lose the address, but the position of the address, okay? And you would lose the image. So be careful when you receive a yellow pop-up here, because that means the category exists already and you want to check what you're doing there. Therefore, you also want to hit the preview and you want to make sure that the categories here are not red because that would mean they don't exist, which might be the case. But for example, in Appalachia, I think it's not the case because they have cemetery categories for basically every county. And you might want to check the place. For example, here with the open street map link, and you want to make sure that the place stated at Findergrave is actually the correct place because Findergrave sometimes also messes up places a bit and boundaries and so on. And once you know that you generated the right thing and you have everything the way you want, you hit save page like we do here on our Chapman Cemetery. And we have a new category ready to put in profiles. And I do want to pause again and let you guys know that even though this creates the data of the cemetery's locations and information to connect it to Findergrave, it's still on us to double check that it's correct. You know, as we know other places can be wrong, they can be correct as well, but it's up to us to always double check and make sure that things look right. So for example, I admittedly gave Flo this example for Chapman Cemetery because I know this cemetery, I know this town and I know the state. But if I'm looking at it in Chapman Cemetery said something like Bolivar, which is a different city within this county, I would instantly know, wait, that doesn't seem right and I would go and double check. Now what happens if I don't know anything about this particular state cemetery? I would still go check just to make sure that it is correct and there's a lot of ways to do it, just do a simple internet search to make sure that everything looks right. Use your source citations that you see from family search or Findergrave, excuse me from Ancestry.com or any of the other repositories that are out there around the world. You do have to do your own research to make sure it's correct. Now as Flo copied all this information instantly over to the screen, if something does not seem correct, you can change it. You can change it in that edit box without any problems. Exactly, just like you're used to. For example, now here the category doesn't exist because you see it's red and that is an indicator that the category doesn't exist. Therefore check if the category name would be right and the category really doesn't exist or if there is a typo or some other mistake. Make sure the info is correct before saving the category. And for those of you that are new to WikiTree or don't do categories, when you see that red, that means something's not right. It's either not created already or as Flo said a lot of times it's a typo. If you're nervous about creating that because when you do, it'll show red and it'll appear in a database error report. Reach out to somebody that if you're on a project, reach out to them, reach out to the cemetery project, post something on G2G saying I need a new city created if you don't feel comfortable doing so or reach out to just about anybody in the particular state project, county, country, project, anything like that. Just remember if it's red, it's gonna show up as an error until it's fixed. Or like I said, the category might not exist, which brings us to the next topic. I don't know, should we do categories as well or do you want to do another thing before? Listen, you just created the Chapman Cemetery one, correct? Yes. Can you go to just a random profile? And the question was how soon is that new category show up in the category pick list? In the category pick list, it will take about an hour tops to show up there. But you can also make it faster by if you have WBE installed, the Wikipedia browser extension, you have the scissors feature here, which contains the option use. I love it. And if you click that, it will copy what you see in the tooltip. I don't know if you see the tooltip. If that is transmitted, I will just click here on copy use. And maybe we can quickly find somebody buried here, or maybe not. And I will say I need to go to that page, the cemetery category page, and where it's bolded, it has the category there. And I would just cut and paste it now. I just go up to that little scissor tool that Flo mentioned. Exactly. So you click on, where was I? You click on the scissors. You click on use here. Make sure it's use and not URL and not link. And then you go to a profile. Let's just take this one and we won't save it. And if we start with the category picking now and we start entering Chapman, cemetery Diana, we won't find anything. But we have copied the use from scissors. Therefore, we just do a random paste, control V, for example, or right click paste. And you have it in here. That's so great. And I don't think we see that little scissor tool in the use because we're so used to looking at the meat of the profile that we don't tend to see what the little text is up above. So again, this is a really cool little neat trick for anywhere, not just cemetery categories. You have it on different categories as well that you can use that. Exactly. It also contains the link as an output format, for example, when you want to mention a category in the text in a biography or in a free space page because if you do it another way like this here, then you will put the page in the category. But maybe you want to mention the category because you want to direct people to the category instead of putting the page in it. And therefore you can use the link option and you have a clickable link to the category without adding the page to it. It's really cool. You guys have done a lot of ways to shortcut things for us. What is another B feature? I think I asked for it. Is this annoying pop-up here which says don't you want to add categories because the profile doesn't have any. So if you start editing a profile and it doesn't have any categories and you have the option asked for categories available enabled, then it will ask you if you don't want to add a category. And it also has a link to the category pick up. And to enable that, you would go to your B settings. We'll let you guys kind of look at those because there's a lot of B settings because I want to move on because I want to know what you can do with this Wikipedia thing that you mentioned. Let's see, let's take a random profile like this one, for example, I picked the German one. Mrs. Rhaber was born in Kupenheim. And if we start, and of course she doesn't have the category Kupenheim added yet and we start typing Kupenheim and we see there is no category. But we can easily create one. So we go to the German Wikipedia page in this case about Kupenheim. And we see this is a village close to Rastad which fits here to the location description. And we are on that page, we click the B button and it creates the location category. The parent category is wrong in this example. Okay, that one sees because it's red but it creates the, here the category info box, it creates, it takes the wiki data ID and it copies the coordinates. And usually it also guesses the right category for parent, the district category. Can I ask you a question? Yes, sure. I can't see you on your screen, but I wanna double check. So where you have highlighted right now, does it have the correct spelling for the location? So for me in the US, I wouldn't know maybe to put a dash and I wouldn't know maybe to have, it's the umlat over the U, is that correct? Is that called an umlat? Yes. Would it do that for me normally, automatically? It would, for example, about Wittenberg here, it will create everything the way it's supposed to be. Ah, wait, I can even, I think I can. Because I would say that for those of us that may not be located in a country that needs information like this created, our biggest problem is that we tend to leave out the things that like the umlat, the two dots over the U that should be included. Let's make it a little more complicated even for me. And take a Polish. And I'm glad you're doing this because we have two ladies that are working very hard on Polish categories with the Poland project in the chat. We have Tina and Skye in here. So this one's for you ladies. And they also did a lot of beta testing in the last days because the support for Poland categories is pretty new. But thanks to Tina and Skye, I think we did a pretty good job here. So we are now on the Wikipedia page. We are in English language Wikipedia in a place in Poland. I stretch this because this feature only is available in places where we implemented it explicitly because the category structure and what is a county and what is a state is always a little bit different and there are special cases. Therefore, this only works for explicitly mentioned countries which I will mention next thing when I'm done here. Okay, so we're on this place. We click the B button and here is even cooler. It opens two tabs. It opens a category preview for a place with the ending Polska, which is the Polish category hierarchy and one for Poland, which is for the English category hierarchy because the Poland project uses two languages for their category structure. Therefore, they also receive here previews for both. And for example, the parent category here is in Polish while here it's in English. So let me pause again. I can't tell you how fantastic this is because a lot of the countries that are listed in WikiTree do have it in a native language in English. I would be totally clueless. I would be totally lost. I would absolutely get it wrong, but because you've created this way to work together with the projects, the country projects to make sure that everything is flowing the way that they have their categorization working, I have more confidence knowing that this will be done. You're getting it straight from Wikipedia. You're bringing it into WikiTree and it's already been looked at and discussed with the country project. So between those two things and automation, it gives me as a WikiTree your more confidence. Exactly. This is great. If you discover that the source where you create a category form, meaning at the moment Wikipedia and find a grave have the name wrong, then you can easily click here on change name and you will be allowed to enter a new name and it will just change the preview to the new name. It won't save the category, but you don't have to then change the URL and copy and paste stuff in between or something. No, you can just rename what you're working on before saving it. Okay. Let's just for one second state which countries are supported at the moment and where to find one country. And why you do that? I do want to mention something that's when brought up as well. The category AKA use was just really difficult for me to understand, but doing this demo makes it really straightforward. And I gotta tell you, Flo, absolutely I have listened to you create this and I've tried to understand it in its early beginnings and I just did not get it because again, where I come from I don't have this need as much. And because you created this to work with Wiki Tree's categorization project and showing it now, I agree with Swin. I understand it so much better. And this is coming from Wikipedia, correct? Exactly, okay. Exactly, from the English one. Well, now you have a question. What happens if I go to the Polish one? If you go to the Polish one or if you have basically any place in any, if you are on a Wikipedia with an article about a country that is not supported, you will receive basic information. Let's see if we go on a random place in English Wikipedia called Hinterzarten, which is a tiny village in MacForest. And like I said, German places, German Wikipedia. I'm in English Wikipedia now. So the layout looks a bit different. It's not supported. Therefore I click on the B and I receive a basic category info box, which I can use to create the category the old way. But I still have the wiki data ID and the coordinate already prepared. So the difference is, it's not automatically creating that page on wiki tree, like we've seen in putting all that data there. It's saying if you want to use this, you're gonna copy that, go over to wiki tree and create a category from scratch as opposed to your category creation function, automatically bringing up a wiki tree page. Exactly. Okay. Plus, or you could, so you either ask yourself if you are on the right language in the right country or you come to Ian or me and ask if we could support your country in the future. So you can also have something nice as the Poland project. And I just want to state a bit what is currently supported and where to find it. So we are here on the wiki tree B page and find a grave and wikipedia, we currently support for category creation and find a grave. We support for the US, UK, Scotland and Poland at the moment. The others might look odd. If you want to have find a grave support for your country, please reach out to us. And I want to mention yet again that the BE team has gone to the countries and it said we've created this and they go to the countries and work with the country. So they make sure that each country project is okay with what's going on, how it's created. This isn't just something, hey, I got an idea. Let me just create it and throw it out there. They do work very collaboratively and I mentioned the power of wiki tree a lot and this is a completely different way of the power of wiki tree being collaboration. This is a way that the IT guys or thing, somebody comes to them or they have an idea, they create it and then they go out and introduce it to a particular project and say, what do you think? How can we make this work? How can we make this better? And I want to point out again, something that Ian mentioned very, very early on, don't be afraid to ask, reach out. Worst thing we can do is we say, no, it's too complicated. But that doesn't mean you guys give up either because I know you guys, you like a challenge as well. So it just might not be something that's instantly created but you do like a challengeable to go through it. And we've seen demos now of how to do a source citation. We've got the sourceathon coming up. That was before our first bingo card, how we created a source and came back. And we just saw how to do it, what I like to call an instant cemetery cat creator. And I want to thank Flo for putting up with me with this and testing it out and working it because this has saved me so much time. And then we just saw going to Wikipedia, how to use the category creator to create a new location if it's not in wiki tree. I keep getting the wikis here. And then we also show Flo showed us a little tip on how to use a scissor in the use button to copy and paste real quick and instantly, which is a neat little trick as well. And the AKA, we also went through that how if for example, we're showed two locations, Poland, same location, one in English and one in the Polish versions to match the categories for that particular country's project. Okay, let's go ahead and do the second bingo card really quick guys. And while I bring that up, I will mention and I'll get it right this time. I promise that if you have one in the past 60 days, excuse me, got it wrong again. Next month is a Friday. This has been a long week for me. If you have one in the last six months, you are not eligible to win again. One per family. You need to get horizontal, diagonal, vertical, use your mouse to dab. If there's a free space, it should be a B. Go ahead and click on that. You do not need to be a member of a wiki tree to win. Anybody can win. So bring your friends, bring your family, bring your neighbors, and these are the words that Flo gave me. So let's see what we've got. Everybody right? B, L, B. Badische Landes Bibliothek. It's a library in Baden, which has an awesome amount of newspapers announcing people wanting to emigrate and so on. Great source, but pretty annoying to copy and paste together for the source notation. That's a great example of probably why this is so handy because you can get it done pretty quick, pretty easy, and give you a basic source so you don't have to do all the hard work of copy, paste, and creating. Free BMD. Yeah, again, births, marriages, and deaths. This time in the UK, we also support those. So people working in the UK will know it and you can use it. Quick hint, basically, if you're unsure, if we support a site, look at the B icon, and if it's yellow, we support it. I was surprised the other day as well when I was a trove and was like, I don't know, I have to create a citation. Oh, wait, the B is yellow. That's awesome. So if you see a grayed out B, there might be a sad B. So that means contact the B group if it's grayed out and let them know you need it. Yeah, the annoying add categories pop up, I mentioned, is an option to be reminded that you might want to add categories to this particular profile. And that's in B settings, not WBE, that's in B settings. And B also does some, like this thing, some tweaks, now, okay, it's also Friday for me. And some UI user interface tweaks, like, for example, this pop-up, and we can show at tables of unconnected people, we can show a list of the whole branch that is with them unconnected. Newspapers come, probably most of you know it, we also support that with sourcing. And we also add the template, I think there is a template for Newspapers come, which we also fill in automatically. There is a template. And I just want to pause here for those of you that have asked, including myself, about genealogybank.com, they were going to look at it. That was one of my ask. And I'm also going to mention, I think in the chat right now, Karen asked, I think as well about it or mentioned it, the reason why they did not continue with my suggestion for genealogybank.com is because that particular website only allows you to view for free for about 30 days, maybe 60 days, something like that. And we felt that wasn't fair, that wasn't good enough. So I've gotten a lot of people asked about genealogy banks for you guys, and that was a no go because of their systems, not yours. Okay, Italy. Yeah, we support Italian Wikipedia for places in Italy, except one county in which they are reorganizing all the time and we didn't want to invest in that one. Daughters of the American Revolution, you mentioned it before that we also support. And I just want to mention Yoko Gratbingo, but keep playing. Okay, Vojvodina is an area in Serbia which used to be Hungarian until the 1920s. And yeah, I have sourced, I worked there in genealogy, therefore I needed something to create sources from it. So feel free to use it. US Black Heritage Project, like I said, there is an option in the Cemetery Creator that will ask you if you want to create a cemetery for this particular project, then it will create the differences to a normal cemetery category. I just want to point out that they categorize their cemeteries quite differently than the main US cemeteries categories, and that's why that's there. And we have a bingo. That was quick. And I just mentioned you, Karen, for the genealogy bank. So congratulations, Karen. We got a bingo, bingo, bingo. You can get a mug, a t-shirt, anything under $30, including, because I know that Karen is going to be doing the Sourcathon, so you can get a Sourcathon branded logo for your team. And the way that you're going to do that, Karen, is you're going to reach out to A1. She's going to let you know how to pick your item as a link to the store, and you get back in touch with her with your information, and she'll get it right out to you. And if you do it quickly, you pick the Thon team merchandise, you might have it for the Thon. So that could work out too. So congratulations. Okay, Flo, we're just a little bit over, but is there anything that we missed that you really wanted to show us? We've got a little bit of time left. Okay. Put it in. Okay, where do I start? So what I really enjoy sometimes is I don't share much in, right? No, I don't. Okay, now it gets hectic. Let's see, we are here, then we share here, and we share the screen, and we do it like this. Okay. Thanks for your patience, folks. Okay, so what I personally also like is here in the root search section of every profile, there are sometimes links to family search profiles of the person, which I consider a lot nicer than putting them in the profile because they are, ah, great example, because they are not really sources. Here is linked to the sources section of the family search profile. So it's a bit better than linking to the profile directly because we don't consider the profile a good source. It is a source in terms of where does the information come from, but it's not a good source. Hope I put that right. And here you can basically add family search profiles. You can usually do that for the profiles you created for your own, but you didn't, there was no easy way to add it for random profiles. And now here, for example, I just copy the family search ID, which I can also copy a family search, and I press this add family search ID button, and I can just add it here where it says add new connection. And when I can select, if I'm sure or uncertain, if it's the same person, and when I press connect, don't, you won't have those popups, just ignore them. Then you will have it here linked. I love this feature. I use it for my direct family. It's just so quick and easy to scroll down and click and you're there. And if you don't know the family search ID, there is also a link to search the family search tree directly, which will in 80% of the cases, if you don't work with Middles and Smiths a lot, you will find the person directly. So if I click here, it does a search on family search and there you go. And you might already have the right person from Pleasant Plains, yeah. And you just can copy here. You click on the ID, it's very small. You click on the ID and you can paste it. I know, if you do Sorcerer and you do the build all citations or save person on Sorcerer, it would automatically leave the link down at the bottom under a see also section where the sources are, so you can copy it there. And then come over and add it with that add family search ID button that happens a lot too with Sorcerer automatically giving us that. I don't know why, I just really like having it all nice and neat under that research section that you just showed. Yes. Okay. And maybe one more. Yep, let's see what you got. So the places I would really like to mention because for Germany profiles, we often have place names that don't really match to the suggestions for birth and death locations which come from family search. When we entered them, the suggestions come from family search. And therefore we need to change them often and it's pretty annoying if you work at the same place all the time you select it from family search and then you have to do all the manual changes. For example, there is German Empire, but before 1870, it wasn't German Empire. It was German Confederation and stuff like that. And B provides a feature called My Places. So if I go to the settings of B, I do right click and I don't know how it is in English, administrate extension or something it would say. And here I can enable a feature called My Places. And this I can also make bigger, sorry. There is also B Places which is an attempt to build a better database than family search with locations but it's a bit at the moment, not really under heavy development. Let's put it like that. And if I activate My Places and I edit a profile, I will have a birth place and death place and also the marriage place. I have a list here that I entered myself. So I can add a place from here. This is the normal birth place field. I can put it to, I can say add to My Places. And now it will always, do we have a glitch here? Let's see. Now it will always show up in this list here and I can easily access it, which is very useful also for connector tons, for example, when you create a lot of people from the same places, you can build your own list of places and you have them without having to rely on the family search suggestions. And I will agree with Sky that family search does have it wrong most of the time, even for my location, West Virginia wasn't always a state, but people seem to think it was. And so then we get that wrong a lot and I use My Places to kind of correct that as well. Okay, so if you guys have any questions, reach out to the B team. I have given the link to B, Flow and Ian are both on Discord as well. If you have a source repository that you're really tired of copy, pasting, doing manually, go ahead and reach out to them as well and let them look at it and see what they can do. That's how we got some of these things created, even with WBE, people came out and said, hey, I'd like to see this or I'd like this or I'd like that. And they're willing to work with you and see what you need. And if it doesn't work, they'll let you know. If it does work, then they'll let you know that as well. And thank you, Ian. And I will say that yes, I've got my biscuit shirt on as well. Thank you, Ian. So good job. I want to mention something coming up that's kind of important as well. This is going to be this one and the one at six o'clock tonight, Eastern Time will be the last bingo before Wiki Tree Day. We have several Wiki Tree Day bingos coming up during that event. So make sure to come back and see us. We're gonna have Kay discussing the bio builder and it also connects to Greg Kark's fan chart. If you're wondering what Wiki Tree Day is, I put a link to the registration and definitely register and check it out. It's really gonna be some awesome ideas, speakers, Wiki Tree bingo coming up as well. Flo, thank you so much. Thank you for working with me to create the Cemetery Creator. Thank you for joining me with this. And I definitely want to also thank Ian. Ian would be here, but Ian prefers to let Flo be on live versus Ian, but thank you Ian also for not only creating B in a lot of the items that went into WBE, but for keeping B alive. So again, everybody remember, B is still alive. It might look different than what it did two years ago because a lot of those items are in WBE now, but B is still alive. And with your help, they can keep adding different source repositories or something like I asked. I needed a cemetery category creator. So thanks guys for being there. I hope you guys enjoyed it and we will see you in a couple of hours. If you're watching this after the fact live, thank you for clicking. If everybody will click like, the thumbs up before you leave, we appreciate it. Okay Flo, I think that's it. Thank you for having me. No problem, thanks for joining. Bye guys. Bye.
