Feature: source suggestions / additional resources

Open PeWu opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • suggest sources that are found using automated or semi-automated systems

See https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1490016/geneteka-sources for the initial idea of automatically adding sources. Instead, we can show the suggested sources as "Additional resources".

Describe the solution you'd like Show an "Additional resources" section next to the biography that is clearly marked as originating from the extension, not the biography itself. The source of this information would be in a file hosted on apps.wikitree.com

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • automatically add sources to profiles – against WikiTree policy
  • button to show "Additional resources" – might not be discoverable, only some profiles would have this button and the user only learns what is there after clicking it.

Additional context

I wonder if this could be integrated with the WikiTree Sourcer extension in some way. Have you experimented with that? It is also open source now.

What kind of file do you mean? Image (e. g. photo of some printed records)?
