Answer 1

The proper format is {{Wikidata|Q1234567|enwiki}}. Just replace the number with the wikidata number for the profile. It belongs in the sources section, not above the bio header.

Thanks to Dennis too..

Answer 2

the help page for that error is here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_568

I don't understand what it means. I don't understand what wkidata is.

but looks like Deb understands it and has the recommended fix by adding a template.

Answer 3

oh...I see what that error means now... how obscure.

if you think of the giant world tree where everyone is connected to each other, as a giant jigsaw puzzle, then there will be smaller unconnected groups of pieces of that puzzle that are not yet connected to the main puzzle.

This profile, who has already been linked to Wikipedia as a famous person, has yet to be connected to our larger tree (the big main puzzle body)

In order to "fix" this error -- research must be done in order to find a connection to the tree.

Thanks, Dennis,

I checked the profile and saw an issue with the wikidata entry but didn't check the error. Thanks for clearing that up!
