On a Chrome Windows 10. For some reason, when I am marking my pages, some of them aren’t linking to the pages I am showing.

Are they linked on the alternate domains, like wikihow.fun? If they are, they won’t show up because cross-linking between the domains doesn’t work. It’s a known limitation

It’s being linked to the wikiHow domain, and I’m using this [[format]]. I may have to rename the title so it can be more specific.
(Note, these articles that aren’t being marked seem to not have any pictures on those articles, although I have no idea)

The mysteries of user pages! I took a look and couldn’t figure it out either - along with sub-domain inking issues, we also have a known issue linking to articles with parentheses, so I wondered if it was perhaps colons causing an issue, but some with colons are still linking. Then I wondered if it was the ‘screenshot’ tag, but they don’t all have that…! #wikiHowMysteries

If I had to guess, I’d probably say that this is being caused by a script not completely updating the page links or something similar. It might fix itself when the nightly scripts run. If not, then you can link to the pages like they are external links to fix the issue.

One note to @JayneG
- This issue also appears when I’m trying to put Related wikiHows with the system. For some reason, half of my articles simply disappear and I have to add them manually.

Even more to add to the mystery!
Unfortunately this isn’t likely to be something to get engineering time, but I’ll keep note of it!

I did discover that one of the de-indexed articles got redirected to a wikiHow domain.
(If you search Mobile Legends on wikiHow.tech, all of the articles that aren’t showing there seem to redirect there.)

I think the issue is when there is an article linked that is on a .tech or .life domain the link does not show up. This does not look or sound good as it breaks links when we refer to readers to articles located on the main site.
Just out of curiousity: are the other wikiHow custom top level domains gaining traction? If not, you might want to consider redirecting them to our (work in progress) guides that can help readers find the content they need.

No wonder why some articles weren’t linked @ICanGuessItLol
. I always thought it was supposed to be like that.
