Generated link is broken?

Hi.

If you look at "my index of the adventure logs":https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/wikis/logs, you can see the broken links in red.

The pages I'm linking to show up in the search.
I build the links using the wiki link button in the sidebar.
Any time I try to build a link to these pages - the links are broken. Doesn't matter what page I put the link on.

But I can link to them directly using an absolute link. If you go to the Obsidian Portal "Adventure Log for my site":https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log; you can see the pages exist (Here are direct links to the very same pages "33":https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/33-getting-there-is-half-the-fun, "36":https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/36-morgat-1, "37":https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/37-1-morgat, and "38":https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/38-april-13th-2014.

Has anyone else experienced such behaviour? If so, how do I get around it?

    I still don't understand why the generated link is broken, but I recreated the pages in question (removing spaces around the dash in their name) and the new pages all seem to work.
    I got a hint from searching the bug database. Seems when a page is created a slug is made (this is the first title of the page, if the title is later changed, the slug name doesn't change). Slugs with fancy formatting (spaces, slashes, punctuation, etc) can be problematic.

    Problem is now fixed on my site (so the links mentioned above all work).
    Still - it's odd that the wiki link generator would register the page, but the link placed on a page would appear as a "new" link.

    I had a similar problem pre-reforge with a slash in one of my logs- removed the slash and it worked fine.

    Just trying to help out.

    I have the same issue currently, and only with linking to adventure logs. It has got to be an issue with the slug and invalid characters or some such.


    The only way around i found was just to use the link option, instead of the double brackets wiki call

    I've run into that a few times. Usually just removing the text, saving the page, and editing the same text back in works for me.
