    Do not do either, but wait until you can figure out the correct answer.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    In regard, to "Record Hints"...

    Your Question: What should we do for MAYBE ?

    Firstly ...

    IF, the "Record Hint", appears on your List of "Recommended Tasks"; and, you CANNOT "Decide" either way, if such is a "Match"; THEN, there are two (x2) options,

    (1) IF, you are happy to LEAVE such on your List of "Recommended Tasks"; THEN, just LEAVE it, do nothing.

    Whereas ...

    (2) IF, you DO NOT want to 'see', such on your List of "Recommended Tasks"; THEN, simply select "Ignore".

    As, when one selects "Ignore", that ONLY "Removes", the "Record Hint", from one's List of "Recommended Tasks"; but, DOES NOT, "Remove", the "Record Hint", from (ie. against) the individual/person.

    [ ie. Such, just "Removes", the individual/person, from one's List of "Recommended Tasks" - nothing more ... ]

    Secondly ...

    Whereas ...

    IF (ie. WHEN), the "Record Hint" appears, on the "Person/Details" page/screen, under "Research Help", for/against an individual/person; and, you CANNOT "Decide" either way, if such is a "Match"; THEN, just LEAVE it alone (ie. Do NOTHING); as, such can be left either, (1) for another User/Patron to "Decide"; or, (2) for a later date; when, you may be able to "Decide" (ie. Confirm either way).

    As, there is NO "Option", for a MAYBE ...

    Plus, there is NO "Option", to "Ignore" ...

    [ And, NOR should there be ... ]

    I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

    Brett, that one you mentioned "Recommended Tasks". that choice is there only. NOT in the Persons Pages. No choice, just Match or No Match.

    It's 'Brett'.

    'Yes', I know that ...

    This is WHY, I separated, my response, into TWO (x2) Parts ...

    ie.

    Firstly ... "Recommended Tasks", on one's "Home"/"Land" page/screen, of 'FamilySearch'

    INGNORE

    and,

    Secondly ... Under the "Research Help" Section, on the "Person/Details" page/scree, of an individual/person

    left either,

    (1) for another User/Patron to "Decide"; or,

    (2) for a later date; when, you may be able to "Decide" (ie. Confirm either way)
