What did I do wrong?

Question

(I might have picked the wrong category to put this question in, let me know, please.)

On my error report I have a 571 FindAGrave - Link without Grave ID  Error, but when I click on the Memorial Links they take me straight to the FAG page. 

Is it because of the link that first appears in the citation?

Answer 1

You have three findagrave memorials linked to May's profile. If none are hers, you have to add a parameter to the template.

{{FindAGrave|Memorial Nr|sameas=no}}  This will prevent the error.

That code is in there as copied and pasted straight from the edit page:

{{FindAGrave|115896634|sameas=no}} (May Burge)

{{FindAGrave|104645748|sameas=no}} (Emily Lockyear (Burge) Curtis

and {{FindAGrave|115896547|sameas=no}} (George Burge)

And this is why I asked the question about what I did wrong.

In other words, I already did this (to clear out the error that they FAG codes didn't match the person in the profile...and the new code was given in another thread so I fixed the old error with the new code) and now I have this error code. Why?

---

The answer to this is important to me because I've used the new code in quite a few profiles and I'm wondering if it's showing up in error reports for other profile managers and if I'm doing something wrong I want to stop doing it.

Answer 2

yes.

I usually just change that to (findagrave.com) without the "http;//www." so it isn't seen as a link.

Ok, thank you Steven, I will try that.

You must use NO on all, and any links to findagrave not having a memorial number can 571 error. HOWEVER, if you have a "sameas=yes" it will ignore ALL other references to findagrave on that profile. I know you couldn't do that in THIS case, it is for informational use only.

Btw, even fixed errors will show in the report until it is re-run the following week.

I knew that part, just couldn't figure out why I got an error, I think I fixed it, we'll see next week

NOW if you click pringle-1286 in the upper right and run THEIR suggestion report it shows Gen0 as blank. (that would be May herself)

Thank you again...I just learned something I REALLY needed to learn!!!! You are my hero for the day <3

Glad that helped. Running their report does a realtime check.
