For those who don’t know, there is a fabulous mini-bio tool that is easy to use for your WikiTree profiles. It needs a little tweaking once you paste it into the profile but saves you a lot of time by providing links (and ref tags if you want them). A newer version is being worked on, but for now I know I certainly use it a lot! Check it out: https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/shipley1223/Bio.html
