Source Tags Removed from Family Search?
Recently, I noticed that all of the Source Tags have been removed from every Event and Fact on every Individual on Family Search.
Every last one. When did this happen?
It is as if there were a massive reset.
That's a lot of data loss ... any chance of putting that back.

Meant to include a screen shot ... I know this is not an isolated incident. Everyone had them not too long ago ... now they are all gone.

As Áine says, absolutely nothing has been removed. There was nothing there, before.
This is a truly bizarre bit of psychology: it seems that the new indicator is causing everybody and their neighbor to have false memories.

It is a fascinating look at some of the deeper workings of the human brain. It's probably very similar to the effects described in this article: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/apr/05/short-term-memory-illusions-study

Having just gotten back from a visit with my stepmother-in-law, who at this point remembers her own name only because she gets reminded of it by every caretaker, I am painfully aware of the fallibility of memory -- but I still find it fascinating how consistently people misremember the previous behavior of a website.
(The study described in that article needed to screen its participants for facility in reading backwards. I recall an incident where I thought something was totally obvious that other people had somehow completely missed, which turned out to be due to me reading a window sign from the "wrong" side, without realizing that it was backwards and therefore unreadable to other people. I can also read perfectly well upside-down.)
