Help for free space source page. [closed]

Question

I created a free space page for a source, but I did something wrong and can't link to it from a person profile. Here is the link: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Source:_''The_Descendants_of_Joshua_and_Diana_(Adams)_Hicks_of_Clermont_County%2C_Ohio'' 

When I try to link to it using the [[Space:xxx|xxx]] format, only part of the link it selected, and it returns a 404 error, and when I entered the same link in the WikiTree ID/URL box below, it said that Profile doesn't exist! I would like to have a page with a similar title and the same info in the bio portion that will work, and to know exactly how to do this in the future. Please! and Thanks!

Thank you, I have created a working page and am closing this thread!

Answer 1

This is due to a number of items, most importantly the colon and quotes. These cause issues when linking pages and should be avoided in page names.

Answer 2

If you add the profile you are linking from to your message, we can probably help more.

See the pattern here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Genealogical_Record_of_the_Descendants_of_Richard_Blood_-_Baptist_Hicks_and_Allied_Families which is used by https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blood-1299

Ah, the colons and quotes in your space page name might be causing issues...

Answer 3

This works correctly: 

[[Space:Source:_%27%27The Descendants of Joshua and Diana (Adams) Hicks of Clermont County, Ohio%27%27]]

It is confusing, so you may way to use a different name.
