I think this is a new problem (or even just a problem today?), but on the profile creation screen I noticed clicking the '?' (help button) directs you to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Help:Language_Selection : "This page does not exist".

I tried and it worked ... https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Language_Selection

I noticed in the link you provided you have 2 "help" in the address. Would this be your problem?

Hi Guy

Thanks for responding. I'm sure the hyperlink is intended to be the URL you mentioned, but I'm still getting pointed to the incorrect page by clicking the ? next to the Language box on a profile *creation* page. Interestingly, the same problem does not occur when clicking the ? on a profile *edit* page.
This is exactly what I did... on the "add an unrelated person" page I clicked on the ?  and it worked.

Guy - I think you happened to pick the only example that works correctly. I also tested with "Add an Unrelated Person" and, as you say, the link works fine. However when I tested by adding a child, a spouse, a father or a mother to an existing profile, in each case the link was broken as Matthew says.

Thanks Paul. There's always more cases for a QA to test! :)
Thanks Paul ... more work for the tech :)
