Top Level Category Issue

Question

The profile of Noah Smith (Smith-13101) is listed on Data Doctors with the error 885 Using Top Level Category. When looking at the profile, the Connecticut Category appears in the list of categories, but when I look in the edit window, the Connecticut Category is missing. How can I possibly remove the top level category when it doesn't show in the edit window? Can somebody else remove this?

Answer 1

It's the 1776 sticker. You have to put the entire category in the unit=, so unit=Connecticut, American Revolution.  I already fixed it.

And how was I supposed to know that?

I was looking for a blatant Category:Connecticut marker.

Answer 2

I am guessing that the 1776 sticker is likely the cause as it  says {{1776 Sticker |unit=Connecticut |rank= Soldier}} . The unit parameter looks to be creating the category from reading at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:1776#Sticker with their examples shown. 

Best to tag your question with Military and War as they may be able to find you the correct Unit parameter.
