Possible New Category Request in Denmark

Question

I am wondering if a new category request is the best way to approach this.

I have created a free space page for the Øregaard Farm in Nors, Hillerslev, Thisted, Denmark. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:%C3%98rregaard_Farm%2C_Nors_Parish%2C_Hillerslev%2C_Thisted%2C_Denmark

This page is intended to be linked with a number of profiles with surname Ørgaard from the Nors area. See Ørgaard-2 and associated profiles. I had also intended to add a list of linked profiles on the Øregaard Farm page.

The nearest existing category is "Thisted, Denmark" and I am wondering if creating "Øregaard Farm, Nors, Hillerslev, Thisted, Denmark" as a new category would work best.

Then, instead of manually adding links to the Øregaard Farm page, I could just add the category tag to each applicable profile, and the reverse links would automatically appear.

NOTE: I tried pasting the Free Space page URL in the URL Box, but WT claims the page doesn't exist. Same results pasting the link for Ørgaard-2. It doesn't like the converted "%" characters and they have to be manually typed.

Would a one name study to the same thing for you?

Comments

There are other Ørgaard or Øregaard places in Denmark that may have resulted in adoption of a similar surname, and there does appear to be several family lines named Ørgaard or similar that are not related to this particular location. For now, my focus is on this particular location and I have just found the following article - http://arkivthy.dk/images/Aarbog/1948/S%C3%B8rensen,%20Anders%20%20Ryttergodset%20i%20Thy%20og%20Han%20Herred.pdf - which appears to explain when the farm came into possession of the line I am interested in. I am waiting for Ole Selmer to comment on its translation. I also still have not found when this family first used the Ørgaard surname and do not know if it preceeded the association with the farm.

It was just an idea :-)

Ole Selmar usually replies very promptly.

I can't see a solution to your problem, other than adding a reference to the placepage to all profiles. I simple linked reference to the place. And a reference to the first owner to the place page. That would give them access to the whole branch.

But, then, I'm not an expert Wikitreeer.

If the category idea doesn't work, I can certainly do manual linking. A category for this farm would just make it easier, and may make it a more recognizable location if anyone had more information about the farm that could be added. That would be interesting because it appears that this farm is a prominent feature of this particular family.

Just a marker that we are all requested not to create new categories at this moment while bugs are sorted out. See this G2G post.
