I updated the links. Thank you Liz.
Hi! Under "Action Steps" you have a link to Name Field Guidelines - could you change the text/link to be

See Help:Name Fields, Other Last Names.

Name Field Guidelines is more of an Index, with links to various pages with project-specific guidelines for Name Fields, while DBE 791 is an error based on the overarching WikiTree guidelines. (So there's no info about separators on the Name Field Guidelines page.)

Thanks!
