How do I change a broken link on a page I manage?

I've only taken on a couple of pages so far, mostly to check out how things work. It is not proving all that intuitive.

One of my pages is Star Trek.

There is a section on the spin-off series, with supposed links to the Mahalo pages for those series. Some of those links are broken. When I click edit, I see something that contains the anchor text, but no sign of the URL.

A walk-thru of how to do this please?

The help on how to edit pages is sadly lacking. When I click the "How to build a Mahalo page" link, it's non-existent.

Hey Philipy, it was issue with the punctuation used in the title to those serps, the colon was funking it up (were not suppose to have punctuation in titles.

And duely noted on the walk-thru not working, I wonder if the link is just wrong of it somebody failed to actually build that link, I'll check on that for you and hopefully we'll have something in the morning.

There are two issues...

1) Why the link was broken... it went to ..../star-trek/the-next-generation when the page is actually at /star-trek-the-next-generation

2) I can't see any way to correct the url, cos I can't see the url. Only the anchor text.
