Hicks-8934 was a ranger of the Ancient Order of Foresters. I have entered this as a category  but - category Ancient - comes up with a red line. Can you help please?

I don't see red categories on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hicks-8934

In general the red colour means you have linked to a non-existing category. If you want a private category, see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Personal_Categories

If you want to make sure a category exists, I suggest to use the dropdown option (the image in the bar on top of the edit box).

The red colour can also mean you have made a typo.
I presume you have fixed it, since there are no red categories on that profile. :)

Could you please close the question?
Changes log doesn't show that the Category was changed in the profile and there are other profiles with that category.  Category page doesn't look like it has changed recently.
