No Title Videogame

Okay, I kinda goofed with something here. I made a new page for a game, Cargo Commander , as seen here:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/CargoCommander

I took a cue from the Prototype2 and thought that putting it in as a Videogame entry was the correct way to do it, but it turns out I've made it difficult to link to, and the stuff like the YMMV page for it doesn't have the Main button. The thing is, I thought it would do redirects automatically, like it did with the Prototype 2 one here, but evidently I was mistaken -

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Prototype2?from=Main.Prototype2

Could someone please fix this, or better yet, tell me how to fix it myself so I don't screw a page up like this in the future, please?

The YMMV page appears to be there (YMMV pages don't appear unless a page has been set to a work page, presumably either the wiki's software or another troper did that).

I've made Main.Cargo Commander a redirect to VideoGame.Cargo Commander

For future reference;

After making a new work page (regardless of namespace), click on the "tools" bar. If it doesn't say "Page type: work" above the second button down, then click on "set page type" and set it as work on the page that comes up (just select "a work" from the drop box and click on OK).
The code to turn a page into a redirect is [[redirect:WikiWord]] where Wiki Word is the page you want to redirect to.
