WikiTree Widgets - Family Tree WOW Factor! | WikiTree Blog

Not only can WikiTree help you grow your own family tree and at the same time contribute to a world family tree, but with WikiTree widgets you can help attract other genealogy researchers and family historians to contribute as well.

WikiTree Widget Types

• Contributions Widgets: Dynamic badges that show what you?re working on at WikiTree. They?re perfect for sidebars on blogs or family genealogy sites.?To see a live example click to your?Navigation Home Page. Then to see all the options, personalized for you, click the link that says ?Contributions Widgets for [Your Name]?.

WikiTree Widgets and Privacy

Widgets are carefully-designed to follow the same?Privacy Rules?as the rest of WikiTree.

Contributions Widgets:?The?Activity Feed?items in widgets are public, but just the feed items themselves. The feed items are written in such a way that they?re meant to be descriptive but not revealing.

For example, ?Thomas Jefferson edited the Birth Date for Ben Franklin.? Activity Feed items may contain thumbnails of private images. These tiny 75-pixel images are all that the public can see.

If you click on a feed item to view a photo or the details of a change, e.g. the Birth Date for Ben Franklin, if the profile is Private you will be redirected to the public version of it, unless you are logged-in to WikiTree and on the?Trusted List.

One thing that can be confusing is that you may still be logged-in to WikiTree even though you are viewing the widget somewhere else. So, if you click on a link in the widget you?re taken to the private version of whatever it is on WikiTree, not what others would see.

Family Tree Widgets:?Family Tree Widgets?only work for profiles with a Privacy Level of ?Private with Public Family Tree? or higher. If an individual?s tree is public but the profile of a parent or grandparent is private, the widget will display something like [private mother].
