exclusion in "More frequent names" was created by bigwidower
Hello,

In a former version of webtrees, I remember that it was possible to exclude some names from the "more frequent names" display.

I am unable to find out if this option is still available and where...

Thanks
Nathalie

This option was removed.

I didn't see any point to it, and it made a lot of code unnecessarily complicated.

In my tree, I use the name XX when I only know the firstname of a person (in very old acts, the surname of women were not mentionned, only their firstname).

This name XX appears in my "most frequent names" statistic and I use to exclude it when it was still an option.

The "GEDCOM" way to do this is to record an empty surname. e.g.

1 NAME Mary //
2 GIVN Mary

This shows that Mary *did* have a surname (not all cultures have surnames), but that it is not known.

webtrees will display this as "Mary (Unknown)", and will list her under the "Unknown" category in the surname list.

We can translate "Unknown" into other languages. We cannot translate XX.

Perhaps you could use the search/replace to update these?
