In spring 2008 his grandma showed him some paintings by the Swiss painter Frank Buchser and told him that this person was his great great great grandfather. He was keen to understand this and asked her more about his ancestors and relatives and took notes. He put the information he collected into his own DokuWiki. There he wrote people articles about them like he had done in German Wikipedia for years.
For almost ten years he didn't spend too much time with this until he researched something for a Wikipedia article at FamilySearch and learned that they suddenly required registration. He registered, but didn't find what he was looking for. The website asked if he wanted to start his family tree. He had time, so he entered a bit from the data he collected from grandma combined with some sheets his former boss (an amateur genealogist for decades) had given to him. Suddenly the website started suggesting additional data and he started linking, adding and merging people. When he learned that all of this goes into one big world tree, he perceived it like Wikipedia and started a new hobby that would soon complete devour the old one.
Another two years later he gave another try to this other website called WikiTree, that he soon perceived a lot cooler than the FamilySearch family tree, because people seemed to care more for sources and one was able to write "real" articles like back then in Wikipedia. Since then he's basically sitting in front of the pc waiting to be picked up by his family …

Saw you're the creator of the Category Management module in WBE, so figured I'd reach out.
I have all of the options turned on for it, but I'm unable to get the (Add) links on either the Partial or Individual cemetery reports. I've linked two example ones in the previous sentence for ease of access.
Can you tell if something's changed that broke the feature, or if I need to wait for the report to re-generate next week, or something else?

that's a nice one: You have to change the URL from wikitree.sdms.si to plus.wiktree.com to make it work. We should probably fix this in WBE.
Kind regards from Black Forest
Oh my gosh, that totally worked! Thanks so much!
