"Show All" links for hints don't work
For the widgets Record Hints and Temple Hints (for Church members), the Show All button takes you to:
- https://www.familysearch.org/en/home/tasks/?show=record
- https://www.familysearch.org/en/home/tasks/?show=temple
But that show parameter seems to be ignored when you go to the tasks page. Instead, you are shown what you last viewed on that page. So if I was last viewing just record hints on the tasks page, and then from the Home page I click on Show All on the Temple Hints widget, I will see a list of my record hints, not my temple hints.
The show parameter needs to be honored, or people are likely to have a confusing experience when they click the Show All button on hints widgets.

Thank you for taking the time to send this feedback @Alan E. Brown ! It appears for Show All (for which ever option you selected - Temple or Record Hints) that the Record Hints and Temple Hints are toggles to filter one or the other and the toggle is set for the last one you were on. They are also coded with an icon on the right-hand side as whether it is a temple or record hint or both. Does this help? We will dig into this further!

@Mary T Wilson Thanks for the response, although it doesn't really help. You basically restated what I already reported. But hopefully with the problem identified, the engineers can fix the problem.

While viewing and attaching Record Hints from the fan chart one is often able to add a new name to a family. (A spouse from a world war registration record; members listed in an obituary, etc) After finishing the attachments I am not able to find the new names added to the various families so I can now find more records for the new name I created. Could we have a widget for "newly created names?"

Sorry @Alan E. Brown - I wanted to be sure the user community knew it was a toggle and that was not clear to me from your post. Thanks for clarifying!

@DL Sargent Bronson Although the issue you raised has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, there is a simple solution for your request already. Simply go to the My Contributions page (under Family Tree on the main menu). Then go to the My Changes tab. There you'll see your recent changes, which will include any new people you have created, as well as any sources you've attached.
