Look at this page.... I have two references to the same thing, Traveling in Korea. One links to the page's parent page which is "Traveling in Korea." The other links to a new page. Why doesn't it link to the extant page?

There's no subcategory tag - the way to have a subcategory is by giving a category to a category which will make it a subcategory of the latter. IOW, anything inside another one is considered to be a category. mithridates aka 데이빛 06:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

By the way, you can preview a page before saving it if you're not sure how it's going to turn out. Fool around with it a bit, changing things around and looking at a few previews might help to give an idea of how something's going to turn out. mithridates aka 데이빛 06:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I left those various tags in hopes you might comment on them. You mentioned the subcategory tags I put in which is fine; now I know not to use them. But, note, there is still no link to "Traveling in Korea" because, as you see, the Category: Traveling in Korea which you'll see twice on that page, doesn't go anywhere (except to a new page). There IS an extant "Traveling in Korea" page, it's just that (and here's the whole edit page):

*Buddhist Temples
*Christian sites
*Confucian sites
*Shamanist sites
*Other sites
*Category:Traveling in Korea

neither of the above "TiK" links go to the real page. I see this on other pages too which I didn't work on. Is this totally random or what? I look for spelling errors and don't find them. So is there a general principle at work? If so, what is it?

A category that doesn't have anything in it will be listed as red because it hasn't been categorized into another area, or doesn't have an explanation on the top. The category Traveling in Korea is still red because of that. If you were to go there and put it into another category (travel, for example) or to write something like 'anything to do with traveling within the country' and save it that way then it would show up as blue like the others. And those two other red links are just articles that haven't been created yet. No, it's not random. mithridates aka 데이빛 13:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Now you can see that the category is blue because I've added content to it. I haven't put it in a category of its own though. mithridates aka 데이빛 13:16, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
