'''Help Needed from Volunteers willing to find and add sources for Profiles in "Needs Death Record" for Australian profiles and then removing the Top Level Category from the profile'''.

The Category: Needs Death Record is a Top Level Category. As well as the various sub-categories (22) it contains thousands (37,436) profiles which have been tagged with this category. They have the Suggestion List Error Message: Using Top Level Category.

I have started  from the letter A and so far most profiles appear to be for deaths in Australia (mainly Victoria, Australia).

The Australia Project has its own categories for Birth Marriage and Death under the various states,(Victoria has 4272 profiles requiring death records)  however these are extra to profiles in the "Needs Death Record" Top Level Category. Also the Australia Project has guidelines for adding the various states "Needs Birth/Marriage/Death" Record category to a profile. Only the profile manager can add this category unless it is an orphaned profile. Please refer to these guidelines.

So my request is for volunteers to find sources for the over 37,000 profiles listed in the Top Level Category "Needs Death Record"

Thanks for reading, Diane

Hi Diane. Finding death records is a good idea. But

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Needs_Death_Record

is not a top-level category. It was temporarily, perhaps by mistake, but that has been reversed. All those 855 suggestions will be gone next week. See
