I work on unsourced profiles.  Sometimes this leads to sources contradicting the information given - for instance two people with similar names being mixed up. Is there a category that conveys the message that more work is needed on this profile?  I am reluctant to redo a whole family tree.

There are several Research Note Boxes here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Research_Note_Boxes

One of those will likely fit your needs. I use them often when sourcing the unsourced and see something like the wrong parent or spouse.

There is a category for Needs more records. Open the category box to search. It goes by country -e.g.

Canada Needs More Records

I would say to pick any cemetery and you will have a ton of work to do.  The cemetery reports in the category info box are a good start but there are so many missing profiles.
