How to change how the LNAB appears on profile?

Question

Is it possible to change how a LNAB displays on a profile so that the name is capitalised? It shouldn't change the profile number which appears as Brookes-1201 and the profile can be found by searching on Brookes. It's just that it doesn't look right on the profile.

Answer 1

Oooh, that looks bad. It seems that someone made an error when creating the profile. You can contact the profile manager to either make the correction or add you to the trusted list so that you can fix the capitalization of the LNAB. The profile manager appears to be active, so hopefully that won't be a problem.

Good advice, Lucy. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to capitalise the LNAB without creating a WikiTree identifier with a new number and consequently a redirect. See this previous case.

Thanks Lucy and Jim. Guess I'll just suck it up and leave it as is. Not worth a new number and a redirect.

Except that without the correct capitalization it will get missed in searches and a duplicate will likely get created.

Are you sure, Kathie? I'm not positive about profile creation match, but  I searched for Florence Brookes (capital B) with birth date 1876 and this profile came up as second result.

For some reason it depends on where you search.  I have seen cases of non-capitalized names not showing as a possible duplicate.
