I know it is possible because I've seen another troper who successfully did it (Bluethorn, who has a pothole to Mega Man in their forum title), but when I attempt to do it, it shows up as [[(namespace)/(page) (pothole)]] in the actual title. The pothole I was trying to put in had considerably more letters, though. Do forum titles have a limit on how many letters a pothole can have? Is that why it's failing to work?

I foolishly got myself bounced by adding bigotry to my troper page, so unless a miracle happens and I get unbounced someday like Ag Prov did way back when, don't expect any contributions from me anytime soon.

What's the page you were trying to link to? If it's a single word page, you'll have to use double braces. Like this:

[[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} some text]]

becomes

some text
