openNo Title Western Animation
- sigh* Okay. I've just added a new article (no information yet except for the title) to the Western Animation index, but it's been Red Linked. I'm positive that I haven't made any spelling errors and that the page exists, because when I search its title, I am linked to an article with that title, which says "Click the edit button to start this new page". It also says that the page hasn't been indexed yet, even though I have added it to Western Animation. I don't mean to be a nuisance with all the questions about indexing and whatnot that I've been asking, and I promise that I'm trying to be as self-sufficient as possible, but can anyone help out a frustrated newbie and tell me why my article has been Red Linked and what I can do to fix it? Thanks.
Giving us the title would help
The title is Jakers The Adventures Of Piggley Winks

The page does not exist. Turning out in google searches means nothing. Google turns out non existing articles all the time, so long as something links to them
The text "Click the edit button to start this new page" is the default page shown when there is nothing in the database for that Wikiword.
In other words, the link is red because as far as TV Tropes is concerned, that page doesn't exist yet. To correct this problem, click the edit button, and start the new page.
Now Bloggier than ever before!
If a page hasn't been edited, ever, then it's redlinked. Every single possible page is searchable using the Google site search, but if it says, "Click the edit button to start this new page", then there's a very good chance the page has never been edited.
And I've been ninja'd all to hell.

Thank you. :)

When I edit the page, the site will recognize it as an existing article and Blue Link it, correct?
