Try Jerkass Façade, typically if there is more than one word in the trope or work capitalize the first letter and it should tick over. Like so...you can use these [[ ]] here to link in a trope or work in a word or description. For one word tropes or works then you would use the {{ }} brackets to, say, link to Archer.

That's what I'm doing. It still resulted in a red link. :/

And now it's working. I honestly swear when I was trying this before it wasn't letting me link to it with a blue link. It might be something specific to the preview feature...

Edit: And now it's working on the preview too... I honestly swear it wasn't working for me moments ago. I really, really wish I got a screencap of this. I'm so confused...

Edit: NEVER MIND. Looking at the page history, I realized I'm an idiot who can't spell 'jerk' right. /Face palms/ (Though I have no idea how, considering a copied and pasted the trope name itself a few times after the original muck up... In my defense, I didn't get much sleep last night.)

If you copied and pasted it from a page (rather than the URL), then it would have had the custom titled cedilla c on it, which wouldn't have parsed properly. Could that be it?

^I heartily endorse this. the cedilla-c isn't standard, just use a regular c and it'll Custom Title to ç.
