Problem with a link

Hey all y'all tropers -

Earlier today I created a stub page for the band 10 Years at the address tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/10Years. However, I was unable to link to this on the Alternative Metal indexing page - the site does not seem to recognize it as a valid link, instead displaying it as the code "Music/{{10Years}}." Is there any way I can get this to work, or should the page be moved to, say, "Ten Years"?

Edit - note how the forum post automatically made the latter example into a link but not the former. A problem with categories starting with a digit?

Aye, the wiki can't link a title that starts with a number.

What you need to do is create the page with /TenYears at the end of the URL, and then submit a custom title so that Music/TenYears shows up on pages as "10 Years".
