I am creating a Free Space page for a Source. (Still in progress.)

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Beck_Family_History

Where and how do I link this to members of the Beck Family?

Thank you for information on formatting, but I have a bigger question.

Where do I put the link? Does it have to be added to each profile? Is there a better way to construct / organize this?

(I'm a beginner. I haven't figured out how to connect the pieces yet.)

Yes, you have to add it to each profile.

Thank you.

Is there another way to introduce a discussion about a source that is popular and used over and over for the descendants of one family?

(Maybe I need a mentor to help me through thinking about how people will access and navigate information about this family.)

But it's a pretty short link that you can just copy and paste from one profile to the next.  I think you're doing it properly, and I don't know of a better way.  If you're interested in progressing to another step after you have linked a number of profiles to your free-space page, there is a line of code you can add to that page that will look backward and give you a list of all the profiles that link to your FSP.  If you'd like to give that a try, please post again.

Thanks Susan.
