When I do a Bio check from the menu of WBE, version 1.6.6,  I get the following Style issue:
"Wrong level heading == DNA confirmation ==" Why do I get this suggestion?

See Help: Biographies. There are only 4 predefined Level 2 headers: Biography, Research Notes, Sources, and Acknowledgements. If you need more headers, you must use Level 3, that is with 3 equals signs before and after.

Generally, headers should be used sparsely.

So this is invalid?

If WikiTree is truly international headings in other languages should be allowed.

Obviously, translations of the predefined Level 2 headings are allowed.

Those headings carry a clear structural meaning, and serves to separate sections of the text into functionally divergent chunks, somewhat like the <head> and <body> tags of a HTML document. For instance, the Level 2 heading "Acknowledgdements" is important to logically separate any text below it from the "Sources" section.

In a future major revision to Wikitree they should probably be replaced by some "meta-tags" like eg. <biography /> to be replaced by a translation of the term in any supported language. Just my 2c.

Thank you!
The Bio Check will also check for separate headings that are the equivalent of the English for Biography, Sources, Research Notes, and Acknowledgements. But, I am not multilingual. If you send me the equivalents for those in your language, I will include them in the next release. Thanks!

Per Help:DNA Confirmation the DNA confirmation statements must be in the Sources section. 

I believe you can add it as a subheading (===DNA Confirmation===) under Sources

Lief and Joe are correct.

The warning will go away with the next release of the WikiTree Browser Extension. You can just ignore it.

Sorry, Kay, I'm confused. Why will the warning go away if it's correct?

Ok, sorry, now I understand why the warning is wrong: it is appearing when there is a level three heading === DNA confirmation === under Sources.
