Bingo. Good job.

First, we find it:

Using the search box, Enter ":title project]"

This brings you to the only item in the database with that topic.

Then, click on the topic, then edit, then cancel out, because we forgot
that only admins can delete.

So basically, I just documented what I did for you. =)

This is actually a "feature". See, we build links when the page is
saved or previewed. This cuts down on a lot of extra reads each time a
topic is opened.

To fix this, and I left it for you to see, edit the category item that
contains the red underline, then simply save it. Once refreshed, the
red line is gone.

Go ahead and give it a go.

Thanks,
