Category Categories Wikitree
In my last post, I shared an overview of how I organize my volunteer genealogy work - with WikiTree being a core part of that strategy. In this post, I would like to share for you how I implement my strategy onto the site and how it helps me be a good citizen genealogist. Perhaps this will spark ideas for you too! WikiTree, as a wiki, has features that are inherent to the wiki structure - including the use of categories. Each profile can be assigned more than one category and these categories serve a variety of functions, such as:1) navigation - makes browsing topics easier2) categorization - groups related concepts together 3) indexing -... WikiTree is no exception!
We get to use categories for all of these purposes and it is because of categories that I absolutely use WikiTree in combination with FamilySearch Family Tree as part of my open, collaborative genealogy... Each WikiTree user gets "personal categories" which start with your WikiTree ID (in my case, "Koonce-10"). Now, let me show you how I organize my categories on WikiTree; they fall into 5 groups:1) profile-related (prefaced with Koonce-10 Profile) 2) specific to my projects (prefaced with Koonce-10 Project) 3) WikiTree events...

I can quickly:- determine how many profiles for which I need to add more records- keep count of how many profiles I've linked to a FamilySearch Family Tree profile- determine how many profiles need... I truly feel like my system cannot be beat! (I may be biased LOL). Retrieve the categories connected to a profile. The "key" for getCategories is a WikiTree ID (e.g., Shoshone-1), Free Space Title (e.g., Space:Cemetery_Pages), or a User/Person Id (e.g. 30030890).
