Advice for cemetery categorization of Kirkpatrick-6038?

Question

Is it possible to add cemetery's to the list when the one needed is not listed. On this page I have the following with several family members buried here. I have many buried in other places but cemetery is not under pull up list so unable to categorize them. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The category is created and added to his profile

Thank you Patricia. Am I able to add other cemeteries myself or do I need to request it every time? Thanks for your help.

If you are comfortable creating new categories, please do.  It is folks that are not sure how, that ask for help.

Hello Patricia, I am finally back at the computer and tried to add the following cemetery with no luck. Can you possibly show me exactly what I need to type in the category box. Here is what I see when I look at others and what I tried to do.

[[Category:Winton Cemetery, Grundy, Tennessee]]

This is for this profile:

Wooten-3062 Jesse Alfred Wooten

Thanks so much for your help as I hate to keep bothering people for additions if I am able to do them myself if they do not exist.

You need to include the word county    There are two options for creating a cemetery category.  Easiest is using the WikiBee app which does it all for you from the FindAGrave profile, bur is not always correct so you need to be aware of how ite should be named, and if the location is in a town or not.  Other is how I did it prior to finding the short cut.   I place the category name [[Category:Winton Cemetery, Grundy County, Tennessee]]  on the profile and saved. It will warn you that the category does not exist, save it anyway.  Now down at the bottom in the category section it will be Red  Click on it and it opens the page to create the category.    In that box place the following text and it is done.  I'm not sure what will happen if I past it here.  Let's see.

{{CategoryInfoBox Cemetery

|name= Winton Cemetery

|parent= Grundy County, Tennessee

|location= Grundy County, Tennessee

|findagraveID= 20483

|coordinate= 35.47000,-85.82720

|startdate= 

|enddate= 

}}

Looks good. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.  Is easy once you get the hang of it.

eta: sometimes there is more info to include so need to add a line for them such as multiple names use |aka=  or if there is an address:  |address=

Ok.... Here we go again! I read in the above to use the WIKIBEE app which will do it all for me. I can find no such app on my I phone store. I also looked at Find A Grave and see nowhere on the individual's site cemetery page where I can add it to Wikitree. I think the short cut would be the easiest and sorry to be so slow in learning. Computers are not really my friend sometimes. Many thanks again for the lessons and instruction Patricia

I don't have an I phone or use my non-I phone to do WikiTreeing so no help there.  For my computer there is a place on WikiTree to download assorted apps.  I strongly advise getting familiar with creating the categories via the first way I describe first, so that when you begin to use Bee you will know when it is not correct and what you need to  change to correct it.  One of the rules is that if the cemetery is located in a town, you use the town name and state, Then there are times when the state has multiple towns with same name, you use town, county, state in the category name.  If the location is somewhere other than a real town we use the county name and state.  Better than half the time, Bee does it right, but we need to fix when it does not.   Before I do a category I usually google search the location to find out if it is a town or not, so I know how to place it correctly.  If in doubt, you can just keep requesting on G2G, where several folks are happy to set them up.

Thanks again and I will try that on my computer. Really appreciate the help Patricia!
