Source titles while using source linker.

Why is Find a Grave now World, Deaths, from 0001 to 9999

Illinois, World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1940-1945 showing as

United States, Illinois, Military Service, from 1863 to 1866

This issue was not here yesterday.

See record GBD7-HML.

United States, Census, 1950 United States, Residences, Census, from 1526 to 2020

When I add a source I want the real title. Not some source I throw into a barrel and try to guess what it is.

Looks like I am done with website until fixed.

    This appears to be a general problem that has just shown up. the problem appears to be only in the Source Linker. When attached the source has the correct title. This has also been reported in the source linker group here and I added some comments there I will not repeat here:

    https://community.familysearch.org/discussion/185685/death-sources-from-fg-and-bg-displayed-as-world-deaths-from-0001-to-9999-in-source-linker

    So no need to quit working in Family Tree since the titles in a profile's list of sources are still fine. And I'm sure the source linker will be fixed promptly.
