Do we have a special sticker to honor family genealogists and historians?

Maybe I missed it, but it seems to me that we should have a way to indicate that a family member, or even an extrordinary friend of the family, made significant contributions to family history and genealogy, which have enabled living relatives to enter information into profiles. A special sticker would be appropriate. The "notable" sticker is not quite right for this. What do you think?
Thank you in advance for all who respond to my query.

Hello Marion.

There is the "Template:Occupation":

(You have to choose and upload the image to be displayed in the sticker).


There is also a category for Genelogists:

You may find useful to add an "Acknowledgements section" to certain profiles listing the person(s) that helped to develop these profiles:

I got this: {{Occupation

|image=Religion_Images-29.jpg

|text=was a genealogist.}}

Here’s how it looks https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Crawford-13089

(Please don’t freak out that the name of the image has religion in it. That’s the name of my page I can’t help it and I’ve been yelled at about that enough)
