I'm trying to create a Personal Category. Need some help.

Question

I did the first part - I have the page done but not sure this is done correctly.  I want to do sub categories.  one for an orphaned group I  have adopted and one as a to-do list.

Answer 1

Hi, Lynn -- to create a personal category, this is the help page that gives you the best information:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Personal_Categories

My personal category is simply my WikiTree number:  [[Category: Day-1904]]

Beyond that, the instructions aren't quite clear.  They say all personal categories should be linked to your code, but then the example they give is simply [[Category: Sample1]].  

But if you create something you intend to be a subcategory of your personal category, it needs to be nested under your personal subcategory.  For instance, if you create [[Category: George Island Retreats]] as a personal category, then George Island Retreats should be a subcategory of [[Category: Hemrick-3]]

Comments

I added my [[Category: Durbin-702]] to the [[Category: Personal Categories]] then sub-categorized my stuff, such as [[Category: Durbin-702 Add Family]], etc.

Answer 2

It sounds like what you need is a Free Space page where you can list your orphaned/adopted profiles and your to do list. While these are important "categories" for you, they are not consistent with the Categories projects on the larger WikiTree.

Happened to notice that the category name is mis-spelled here:  "CATEGO**T**IZATION."
