Adding married name in the Suffix field
A volunteer is insisting on putting married names in the Suffix column, it does not belong there and is very confusing. Is there a way someone can address this issue?

Also, stress as firmly as you can that any name in the suffix column is completely ignored by the hinting and possible duplicate routines.
If this other user will put married names in the Other information section where they belong, then hints for those profiles which include the married name will appear.

She is refusing to change, keeps adding married names to people I've added to the tree and doesn't care that it's the wrong field. I was hoping someone from FamilySearch could tell her to follow the rules

You can try the Report Abuse option. Be prepared to supply details and jump through a few hoops.

Where is that option found on the site?

You could share the following article with them:
Also, every time you change the name back to the proper format you could state something like "Above entry conforms to: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-to-enter-names-in-family-tree"

This article will hopefully help despite the misleading text that Community has put on the link:

On every profile, down the right side, in the Tools box.

Thank you for all comments and the reference to the naming rules, I have passed this all on to the volunteer with a note that if she continues there will be a Report Abuse filed
