How do I adapt a profile so it also shows a new relationship that I found on WikiTree?

Question

I have a (living) uncle that I recently discovered that he is not only a uncle by marriage, but is also an 18th cousin. He does have a profile on my family tree (made by me, btw).  Not terribly long ago I found out (via WikiTree) that he is also related to me through my mother's side of the family.  I followed the very long trail/connection given and he is my 18th cousin.  However, when I click on his name, currently, this information doesn't come up, which seems odd to me.  Is it okay to list his name and WikiTree I.D. if he's living ?

Comments

If he is living, he is probably the profile manager and has limited access to information to only those on his trusted list. I would send him a private message requesting to be added to the list. We are 10c2r!

Actually, I am the profile manager, but thank you.

First: It's definitely not OK to list his name/WikiTree ID if he is living.  This is a public forum.

Second: I *think* (but I am not positive) that you only get one relationship at the top of the profile.  So it would say that he was your uncle - and how you are linked ie 'His father is your grandfather, Fred Smith'.  But only the one is listed.

You know, I'm really asking the wrong question, and I do apologize for this.  What I'd really like to know is why does this other relationship/connection (that he's my 18th cousin?) only show up once and a while?  That's really confusing.
