When I created a new species article through the dropdown menu on a character's article, the links to the new article didn't show up on the world's homepage. The page existed, but there was no link to access it.

The problem fixed itself upon publication, but I'm still not sure why it happened in the first place. Maybe I had already gone over the limit, and it just bugged out, but I don't think I had enough articles on this world and my other one for that.

Steps to Reproduce

I had a human character, but no human species article.

I typed in "Human" into the dropdown selector and created a new article.

After adding some information, I clicked "View in World," but couldn't find it on the homepage.

This also happened to a second species article made the same way, so it wasn't just a fluke.

I was then informed that I had run out of free draft articles, and decided to publish them to make more.

Upon publication, the links to the missing articles suddenly appeared on the homepage.

I forgot to mention that I did reload the pages (both the articles and the editor) multiple times and the links still didn't show up.

Hey, articles will indeed not show up on the world public presentation unless they are set from "Draft" to "Published" by design so that articles that are not ready to be viewed are automatically hidden. The same goes for the guild feature for "Public"/"Private" articles with the difference that you set a specific number of user who can view them.

Since this isn't a bug I will be closing the report, but let me know if what you were encountering did not fall under the aforementioned behavior.
