Why isn’t Tyndall showing up as the city in this cemetery category?

I tried to create

Saint Leo Cemetery in Tyndall, Bon Homme County, South Dakota

It is in the correct “Bon Homme County, South Dakota”  category but   Tyndall doesn’t show up as the city like the other cemeteries in the category.

When the category was created someone put Bon Homme as the second parameter. All that needs to happen is a rename of the category to read Tyndall instead of Bon Homme.

The category info box looks created correctly and it is in the Tyndall, South Dakota location category so it can be a quick fix to rename the category.

So I should change parent to Tyndall, South Dakota? And location to Bon Homme County, South Dakota?

OR do you mean when I added the category above ==Biography== I should have used ?

Saint Leo Cemetery, Tyndall, South Dakota

Instead of

Saint Leo Cemetery, Bon Homme, South Dakota

Do I delete the category and start over?

Can you do that for me?
I will be able to fix it if you don't feel comfortable doing it.

What needs to happen is changing the category on the 2 profiles to read [[Category: Saint Leo Cemetery,  Tyndall, South Dakota]]. It can be done manually on the profiles and then copy the Category Info Box onto the new category. The other way is using the Editbot to rename the category.

If you need me to do it, it will be a couple of hours as I am out and about and can't easily do edits.
Ok I got the “Saint Leo Cemetery, Tyndall, South Dakota” into the “Bon Homme County, South Dakota, Cemeteries ” category  and put my 2 profiles into it.

BUT ended up leaving an empty category for “Saint Leo Cemetery, Bon Homme, South Dakota” in the “Bon Homme County, South Dakota Cemeteries” category.

Could someone delete the empty one and then explain to me how you did it?

I am really trying to follow the directions but have only gotten 1 of 4 new categories correct. Sorry. And thank you
Thank you! I am going to bed now anyway so later is fine. Please read other message also when you work on it.

The cemetery is outside the Tyndall city limits according to open street map so it should be named as Saint Leo's Cemetery, Bon Homme County, South Dakota.

Saint Leo's Cemetery is per the cemetery sign unless you know the legal name for the cemetery.

We fixed it last week. Thank you anyway.
