The change history currently states (error in boldface):

"23:15: You edited the marriage between Bertha (Fischmann) Chawes (1885-1977) and Rubin Chawes (1884-1964)(Approximate marriage date based on family history provided by Bertha's daughter-in-law [[horowitz374 | Grace (Horowitz) Chawes]].)"

I wish to correct the hyperlink to [[horowitz-374| Grace (Horowitz) Chawes]]

You can't change the entry.  The description is whatever was entered at the time of the change.  I am sure people can understand what your intent was.  

You should also add that information in those profiles, since there is no source for the marriage in the profiles.  That could be the source citation for the marriage.

I fixed the Wikitree ID for Rubin in Bertha's profile since it wasn't filled in yet.

Thank you Linda!

Your welcome. Glad I could help.

Further question: Lacharia Fischmann was the stepfather of Bertha Chawes (Fischmann). I can't see any way to show that in the Profile for both of them (I did state that he was her stepfather in the Bio section, and marked the Father indicator that he was not her biological father, but the main profiles still list Lacharia as Bertha's "Father").

If you don't want him to show as the non-biological father, you can remove him from the father position and just include him in the bio, as you have with his wikitree ID.  Whatever ID is in the father position, they will show as the father.
