How do you create a placeholder profile?
A sister in the ward would like to do her 1/2 sisters' ordinance work, who falls within that 11- year rule, but when she states that she is related, FamilySearch indicates that the relationship is not valid. The sister has her 1/2 sister attached to the same mother, just different father. While searching in FamilySearch, I found information regarding creating a placeholder profile and was wondering how to do that and if this was the only option available.

You simply create a profile with no information to link the known to the unknown. In the situation in this thread:

When using Family Tree to prove relationships for the purpose of ordinance work, you should never be using a place holder. You really need to put in real people with real relationships. If the woman in your ward has done that and the automated routine is not allowing the reservation, then she needs to post a query to the Temple section here in Community to ask for help with getting sorted out how to be able to reserve her half-sister's work. The FamilySearch workers there can see all the living relationships and see what is really going on.
To attempt to game the system by creating place holders or fudging relationships for the purpose of completing the most sacred work we can do in this life just doesn't seem appropriate.
