I have an error in a link to a free space.

Question

Some further family information can be found at [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Space:The-Leighton-Family-errata| Leighton Family Free Space]

Above is the link, it doesn't work, says I may have characters that are not recognized.

What have I done wrong?

Answer 1

Spelling...

To make a link, use a space not a pipe after the URL, in [ ]

[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:The_Leighton_Family_eratta Leighton Family Free Space]

Or use [[ ]], with a pipe

[[Space:The_Leighton_Family_eratta|Leighton Family Free Space]]

 

 

 

Comments

The hyphens were a late date typo, there were underscores there originally.

Thanks for straightening this out for me.  I was overthinking it.

Answer 2

I am no expert on freespace pages Tom, but might it be because you are using hyphens rather than underscores?

Answer 3

Replace "Space:Space:" with "Space:"

No hyphens or Pipe:

• [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:The_Leighton_Family_eratta Leighton Family Free Space]

Or, double square brackets and Pipe:

• [[Space:The_Leighton_Family_eratta | Leighton Family Free Space]]
