Category for my brickwall?

Question

I asked this question before, but never got a response. I understand I need a category for Duncan Johnson. He is one of my brick walls. I requested it formally already. Is it too broad?

Answer 1

First of all, it's not clear what you're trying to accomplish with this category. Categories are a way to group multiple profiles together. I'm not sure what other profiles you think would belong in the brick wall category for your Duncan Johnson.

If you want a personal brick wall category for all your brick wall relatives, the documentation for how to set that up is here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Personal_Categories

In this case you might use a category like [[Category:Mallow-254 Brick Walls]]

You might also see if any of these other brick wall subcategories fit: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Family_Brick_Walls keeping in mind that, unless the subcategory is part of an active study (like a One Name Study) it will probably only ever attract one profile and will never be touched again.

Or you might decide that an app https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/nelson3486/brickwalls/ is more useful. But again, without knowing how you intend to use the category, it's hard to suggest anything.
