Hello everyone

I am trying to add an internal link to a page but it doesn't work. It either produces a weird red link or it appears as raw text. I've already read the guidelines but none of the suggested ways to add a link work. What am I doing incorrectly?

The page I want to link to is Characters / One Piece: The Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Thank you in advance and sorry if that's a dumb question, I've never edited a T Vtropes pages before.

Please see Text-Formatting Rules. Let me look at your edits... you have not actually made any. So I'm not clear as to what you're trying to do, but to make a Wiki Word, you need to join two capitalized words together, like OnePiece => One Piece. To get the namespace in front, separate it with a slash: Characters/OnePiece => One Piece.

If the article title is not a Wiki Word — that is, it doesn't have distinct capitalized words, then you put curly braces around it: Film/{{Airplane}} => Airplane!. Note that the exclamation point is not part of the article title, but is instead a custom title.

You can also find the correct text for an internal link by going to the page and copying the part after tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ in the URL:

Characters/OnePieceTheSevenWarlordsOfTheSea -> One Piece: The Seven Warlords of the Sea

Spaces are added by the wiki parser when there are multiple capital letters in one "word" (see Fighteer's instructions for markup on page names that lack multiple capital letters), and punctuation is added using a custom title. The actual address of a TVT page never has spaces or punctuation.

Thanks for the help. I got them to work

I didn't make any edits because I didn't want to make a shitty entry with entire links working incorrectly.
