WeRelate allows you to check for possible errors in your data by visiting the Data Quality Issues page.
Description and definitions
- Data quality issues are identified by a job that runs periodically. The Data Quality Issues page shows the results from the last time the job was run. The run date/time, which reflects Greenwich Mean Time (UTC), is displayed at the top of the page. Note that the data may be a few hours older than the run date/time due to the way the processing is done.
- You cannot request a real-time issue check. If you just added or changed some data, you'll have to wait for the next run to check for issues.
- Issues may be:
- Anomalies - situations that are unusual enough to warrant review but might be correct, such as a person who married at age 6 or a person who was born before their parents were married
- Errors - situations that are not correct, such as a person who married after they died, or a person who was born before a parent was born
- Incomplete data - situations where minimal data about a person, such as gender, is missing
- Note
- Situations where sources are missing or incomplete might be added to this list in the future (or possibly a separate list)
Filtering the list
When you first open the Data Quality Issues page, the list reflects the entire database. If you are signed in, you can restrict the list as follows:
- If you've created one or more MyTrees, use the MyTrees dropdown to select a MyTree
- OR
- Select "Watched only" or "Unwatched only", depending on your interest
List order
The list is in alphabetical order: Person pages by last name, first name followed by Family pages by page title. It is possible that the order of family pages will be changed in the future.
