I would need help creating a new category for the profile of Walter Benjamin Cooke. The category might be named something like [[Category:Pleasant View Community, Mitchell County, Kansas]] or [[Category:Pleasant View United Methodist Church, Mitchell, Kansas]]

Could I get help creating the new category? Or is there an existing category to use? Thank you!

I see that Pleasant View United Methodist Church has been created but it is in red indicating that the category basic data has not been created. I also notice that the cemetery for burial is at the same church.  Are you wanting the cemetery category created since that is what people typically do rather than create a category for the church they attended?  

The cemetery category already exists. It is [[Category:Pleasant View Cemetery, Beloit, Kansas]].

This is the community that my mothers extended family grew up in. It was a very tight knit group that extended over two different townships, and was centered around the Pleasant View Church, which is where the cemetery is. There are people who were an integral part of the community whom are not buried there however, and I would like to figure out how to include them as part of a group. Their was also a town called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower,_Kansas Sunflower”] though it was smaller than the church community. (My great grandmother ran the post office out of her kitchen).

My relatives always refer to it as “The Pleasant View Community”, and it caused a great deal of consternation when in the 1930’s my Uncle Richard Tice moved to “The Hopewell Community” centered around Hopewell Presbyterian Church.
I am unsure of the protocol for creating categories, but this community was an important part of these homesteaders and pioneers, and I would like to be able to include them together as this community.
Thanks
