Why did the way of showing a category that is new change? [closed]

Question

Today for the first time, instead of the as yet unformed category showing in red when you save a new town, a big red box formed at the top and asked to use another spot on the form instead of just going directly to the page where you place the town in the county and state. I couldn't get the suggested box to do anything; so I just made it save anyway and went about it in the old way. What's up?

Answer 1

Hello Darlene.

Answer 2

Wow, Darlene.    The exact same thing happened to me.   I was so pleased the "old way" still worked.   I didn't have time to explore the new system,  but it looks intriguing and I'll try it soon.

Answer 3

See https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/624002/did-you-see-the-new-categorization-features for an explanation for why it showed the big red box.

It works quite well for existing category's.
