Can someone please tell my why Rose May O'Connor has herself as half-sister [closed]

There are two Rose May (O'Connor) Warner's showing as half-sisters on O'Connor-4373 and they both have the same profile number, but one of them is showing this URL -- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/O%27Connor-4373.  (Looks like something may be wrong with O' which is showing as O%27Connor in one of the URLs).  There was a merge done on 6 Nov 2019 for O'Connor-4386 into O'Connor-4373.  The father's profile shows two Rose May's, but the mother only shows one Rose May.  I expect the fix may be easy, but I don't know what it is.  Thanks for any help.

I would say how to fix it, but instead I will say you need to tag your question with bugs, or Jamie, or both.  (Apparently I erred the last couple of ghost issues, because Jamie was wanting to track this thing, and fixing it beforehand meant no can track.)
Thanks, Melanie! I thought it might need some other tag, but I didn't know which one.
You'll need to separate those tags.  As they are right now it's all one long tag nobody is following.  (Underscores should only be used for such tags as military_and_war, or dutch_roots, etc.)
It all has to do with a bug in the merge process that sometimes leaves a ghost profile with a parent or spouse.
Thanks again, Melanie. I guess you're my teacher for the day. You can tell I haven't asked many questions! Hopefully I got it right this time.
Thanks, Kathie.
Eh, if they are old enough it's OK to fix. What I'm really looking for a one that happened fairly soon before it was reported.

How soon, then, is "fairly soon"?  (Because I have been chastised for correcting ghosts.) 

Ideally, it would be within a few days, but anything since we started trying to track down the problem. If it's older than March 2020 then feel free to fix.

(Sometimes I get chastised by well-meaning users too, so don't feel too badly about it :))

If it's older than March 2020

So, pretty much pre-covid!  cheeky 

Or pre-RootsTech 2020 laugh

Okay, so we can fix this one... Can someone fix it, please, or walk me through how to do it? Thanks!  (Warning: I'm not real literate in this kind of thing.)
Not fixed.  The usual method of removing the duplicate from the parent did not work.
Thank you, Kathie!

I'm only seeing one. 

I think it is fixed, Melanie. One Rose and parents only show one Rose.  I think I was fixing it while you were commenting.
