please correct my migration category error [closed]

Question

Help! I think I've created a circular reference for this migration category.

The profile category worked fine and then it highlighted red to say that Jamaica, Immigrants did not exist. I thought I was following the instructions but that's where I failed...

thanks in advance

Hi D. I don't know how to fix the problem, sorry, but in case it helps someone else to do so, I can say what it is: the category

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Jamaica%2C_Immigrants

is a subcategory of itself.

Hi D.
I am sure that you did everything well. The red print and underline shows that you asked for a category which did not already exist.

This request for a new category was picked up by Natalie and she fixed it.

Categories are sort of built on demand, when required. There is some guidance to avoid empty categories before there is a Wikitree profile to include in them.

Hi Steve, I had already created the category for the profile I was working on, it was the next level category that I messed up. It wasn't going to be empty, and I thanked Natalie for the fix yesterday.

Hello D,
I am sorry that I did not recognise you.

I did not know where the empty category discussion was going to go. There are some good reasons for them.

Coincidently, I was close to referring to Samuel Pfeiffer (1772 - 1861) yesterday.

Answer 1

I fixed it.
