I was asked to format a cemetery on one of my profiles and I think I did right, but once I did, it wasn't showing up. SO I am not sure I did it right. Any help or advice?

I am assuming you mean that you added a Cemetery Category? If so, check the Categories section of the profile. Everything appears correctly here :)

When you add a Category to a profile, the category only displays in one specific section of the page, not in the place which you put it on the profile.

So you add the Category above the ==Biography== header, but the category will only display in the box at the bottom of the profile.

If you want to add a visible link to a category, you can use a slightly tweaked markup format, that includes a preceding colon before the word 'category:' :

[[:Category:Test|Test Category]] 

This will make a visible link on the page in the place you put the markup.
