1. New pages automatically cancel when the timer runs out even if nobody is actually checking the space due to a programmical oversight. Make sure to use a notepad or Sandbox/.
2. How to Create a Work Page: Page titles are capped at 64 characters. Abridge the title by removing a few words or it won't save at all. Suggestion: Literature.The Magical Revolution Of The Reincarnated Princess (ANN also goes with it)
Edited by Amonimus TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupAh, I had a feeling it might be the title, given that it's quite the mouthful.
As a heads-up, I had originally gotten to that page via Yuri Genre, which has that title in the "Light Novel" section. I can try seeing if The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess works.
"I squirm, I struggle, ergo I am. Faced with death, I am finally, truly alive."FWIW, if you get the time out message you can just copy what you wrote and refresh, then copy it into the blank editing screen.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallOne more question: will the length of the original title make it impossible to make it into a redirect for the shortened title? I figured I'd ask first so I can avoid accidentally causing issues.
^ Oh, the timing out wasn't an issue; I had saved my original text on a text file so I didn't lose anything. I was originally just concerned if the timing out caused a saving issue, but it seems like the cause was the title length.
Edited by dragonfire5000 "I squirm, I struggle, ergo I am. Faced with death, I am finally, truly alive."If you can't save the page with long title, naturally you can't save it as a redirect.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupYeah, I figured as much, though it was worth asking about.
Thanks for the help; I think this query can be closed since I successfully created the work page using the shortened title.
"I squirm, I struggle, ergo I am. Faced with death, I am finally, truly alive."

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question.
I'm trying to create a work page for The Magical Revolution Of The Reincarnated Princess And The Genius Young Lady. When I was working on an initial draft, the lock clock timed out and I got a warning when I tried to save my changes of someone apparently also editing the page. I saved the text that I had written and canceled editing the page.
When I canceled editing, I didn't see a lock sign indicating someone else was editing the page, so I tried going back in and was presented with the text box again. I tried copy-pasting my original text in and saving the changes, but the changes weren't saved and the work page remains uncreated. I made a second attempt later on and still got the same result.
The odd thing is that if you look at my edit history, you can see that I have two edits to that particular work page. However, going to the work page itself shows nothing in the history. I don't want to risk screwing up anything, so I'm asking here if someone knows what might be causing the issue.
