Herbert is right and Oh by the Way.  The Trusted List has been charged with the responsibility of showing that each child of Brinsley and Elizabeth is supported by adequate sourcing which is not Currently the case.  This will be done in G2G.  Two Quaker daughters were sourced some time ago but the process was delayed.  All Trusted List members have been notified and the task will resume in about a month with sourcing of three: Deaf John, Jehu and Brinsley using Wilkes County Court of Common Pleas cases as circumstancial evidence.  Comments by all will be welcome.

Answer 1

I think it depends on what you mean by tag.  

Profiles can be categorize which Brinsley Barnes is in several categories. One of those categories can be removed since the addition of sources means you can remove the {{Unsourced}} line in the bio.

Answer 2

[[Barnes-1145|Brinsley Barnes]]

1 - [[     Tells WikiTree that you want to create a link to something on WikiTree (can also be a category or freespace, for example)

2 - Barnes-1145     This is the profile's ID.  You can find it at the top right of it's page or if you hover your mouse over a link it will display in the lower left side of your browser.

3 - |     I don't know what it's called but it is used as a separator and/or sorting indicator.

4 - Brinsley Barnes     This just tells the link what to display on the page.

5 - ]]     Tells WikiTree you're done.

If you want to tag, or create a link on WikiTree of something off of WikiTree, like another website, it is very similar:

Lucy, #3 is called a pipe.  For users not accustomed to software symbols, it is found on most keyboards (English speaking, at least) as upper case of the backslash at right end of keyboard, immediately above the Enter key.
