I've noticed that most pages in this category (see example profile) have a number attached in the suffix. Why is this present? Is it okay to remove this?

Yeah I would say that be okay I noticed it was uploaded via a gedcom the system could have put that there because it didn't know what to do with the information it was given. Sometimes information from gedcoms get put in random spots that's why after every gedcom import you have to go through and clean up the profile.

You can put a note on the profile down on the right hand side and ask a question also. The profile manager will get notice of this issue.

Thanks for pointing this out

I'd send a message to the PM (PM is Active). It might be the PM isn´t aware of this issue.


 

Here is some information about using Personal coding systems.

I think that probably the PM used the "42" as a personal reference indicator in another data base such as Family Tree Maker... Ancestry.com also has on occasion profiles with these added numeric notations. I think they  should be removed...but as said here already see if you can contact the PM first.
