Adding links to category pages on profiles [closed]

Question

I added a category 'Victimes de Pelée' for use on my Martinique one place study. This category is most useful if there is a link-back to it from the profiles, but recent changes have removed the category links from the profile page. My question is, what is the policy regarding adding the link-back to the category page from those profiles? Do I have to go through and add a link, one at a time, to all of them? Or should I?

The problem with removing those links is that they were the easiest way to get to, or know about, those category pages.

Answer 1

This category is most useful if there is a link-back to it from the profiles...

If the category is added to the profile in the format [[Category:Victimes de Pelée]], then the profile will automatically have a link back to the category page. Scroll to the bottom of the profile (or click on the [categories] link) and check inside the green box. As an example, check this link.

...but recent changes have removed the category links from the profile page.

Can you provide a link to the change history showing one of these links was removed? It may be possible that a full-url was changed to a short-link in wiki-format (i.e. wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Victimes de Pelée was changed to [[Category:Victimes de Pelée]]) or another similar action.

Also, have you checked the One Place Study project page for how to setup and run a Place Study? By the looks of the categories you have now, there is a mixture of general regional and place study categories which will cause some issues in the future.

Comments

Thank you Steven. My mistake. I did not realize that the categories were moved to the very bottom of the page, as they used to be at the top of the profile.

Not a problem Duane, you can find the details here. Also, I updated my response, adding some info about One Place Studies.
