Usage guidance
Care should be taken when deciding to make a link to the WikiTree website. The biographical and other details may not be reliable. If there are fully reliable sources which may be used, then the WikiTree link should not be used, or should be removed in place of the more reliable source.

As an WP:External link
To comply with WP:ELNO, only place in External links section if the website contains unique information not already mentioned and cited in the body of the article and is not a WP:COPYLINK violation. Remove from External links if WikiTree is already cited in main body, if burial information is provided in main body by a more reliable source, or if the page contains any unlicensed copyrighted information (e.g., professional portrait photography or copies of obituaries from a newspaper).
