In both cases, your edit reason was "use wppage template so Playing With section will show up. I may have done some things wrong, please correct in that case." However, you specified a Wikipedia page that does not exist. We don't want to send people on a wild goose chase.

If a link that should appear in the page header is not appearing, it's probably because the page is cached and showing an old version. Instead of immediately editing the page, try a purge of the cache of the page first. ("Purge" is in the dropdown menu "More" beside the search box on the default wiki skin.) If that doesn't work, try a "null edit" - delete the blank line at the very end of the page. And if both of those don't work... let us know, because something is wrong.

Thank you! I do wish to apologize in advance, I am quite new here and my every other edit has some admin chasing after me correcting my style. This comment has helped me a lot, and I was wondering why some of my playing with edits are not showing up. You guys are amazing :)

While I'm here, a while ago under my user sandbox I created the sub-page The_Wind_Rises, to work on information about the film. After it is done, it was sent to moderation, but so far it wasn't created while some of my other changes have been moderated. My hypothesis is that a bug in the moderation system may have 'ate' the page and it never showed up in the queue, but can you check just in case? Thank you, and I once again apologize for my incompetence.

In this case, the bug is between the keyboard and the chair - it's a human issue. We have a backlog of posts in moderation and not enough time to look at them all promptly.

My apologies for this. Please be patient...

Sorry if I'm putting pressure on you; I do understand that you all have lives outside of this wiki. While it does suck to have to wait several days before changes are moderated, it is preferable to the alternative of spam floods and low quality edits. Anyway, thanks for the great information.
