Where did TEST,, come from?

Question

Not sure where this should be submitted, but, I have noticed several profiles of mine with the word  Test under the source section. Just wondering where it came from. Thank you.

Comments

I would love to see an example of one of these profiles.

Here's one, Gaile.

THANX Laurie, but someone must have changed it since you saw it.  I just looked at the view and edit pages and didn't see "Test" anywhere, then looked at the change pages and it's nowhere in the changes either.

It sure does sound strange.

Yes, it seems to have disappeared. Tis a mystery.

---

IT was only showing up in the private view, not the public view.

Sorry for the confusion, folks. Just a little thing that was accidentally inserted. Thanks for alerting us to it.

Answer 1

Thanks Robert, this has been seen and reported.  It appears that we are all being tested <<Grin>>.  I suspect the WikiTree Tech Elves are in the back office partying or experimenting with unknown codes.

My guess is that the elves are checking to see if we are using the new inline citation instructions in the right column on the editing page. Now instead of having to copy and paste both parents separately, for example, they are together and you just have to add "and" in the bio. Will there be prizes, gold stars, for using the links? : )

Soooooooo, are we expected to go back and change all the profiles we manage, or start using it on new ones. If we start now, then we will have 2 different types of sourcing. Could take forever.

Michael is correct, one of the elves hit something with a thumb. Mags

Gosh, Mags, I just LUV your hi-tech explanations ... they explain everything soooo clearly!

Answer 2

I noticed it when adding sources with in line citations.
