Familypedia talk:Reports

Phlox got a drilldown working for the Smiths. It goes like this:


 * Filter on birth, death date and location
 * This category uses the filters Has filter::Filter:Birth period, Has filter::Filter:Locality of Birth and Has filter::Filter:Nation of Birth ‎
 * This category has the drilldown title Has drilldown title::Narrowing down persons with last name: Smith

I think the wording could be improved a little. For example, the actual search makes no mention of death date and does offer birth nation as well as locality (which is why the display should not have a heading "City of Birth").

It seems to work OK for Smith, though I haven't checked exhaustively.

It doesn't work for others with just a surname change: see "Capet". Let's get the procedure sorted out and documented so that almost anyone can get it working for any surname that has dozens of individuals. Start, maybe, with Special:Contributions/Phlox around 12 September 2009?
