Some Wiki sub page links don't change colour after editing

Hello,

usually, the colour of the Wiki subpage links (in the overview) turns from red to blue after editing. This is quite helpful, since the students are able to see, which of the sub pages already contain a contribution. By and large this works reasonably well, but there are three subpage links which don't change their colour after editing. Does anybody know what might be the cause and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Is it because you are navigating using a Back button in a browser? That will often show the previous version of the page, and not the current (clicked) version. If it's not that, try refreshing the page (e.g. add ? to end of the URL).
You need to monitor if this link colour:
a) Does not change immediately (but maybe after some time)
b) Does not change EVER
This would help in the trouble-shooting process smile

Happy new year and thank you for your reply! It's b) There are about 300 subpages and every link to these pages changes his colour after editing, except of three pages. The colour of these pages doesn't change ever and unfortunately, I still have no idea, why.

OK, so it's something specific to those pages.
Hmmmm, well it could be a bit of incorrect HTML in there maybe?
Perhaps the easiest way to solve this would be to remove those three links, and add them again, if that's possible?

Removing the links and adding them again didn't work, unfortunately. You put me on the right track, though. I realised that there was, accidentally, at least one italicised letter in each of the relevant links and this seemed to be the problem. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic - and well done - it seems the 'process' of removing and re-doing gave you the insight to see the problem! smile
