I've added URL names for you but I need you to add the HTML markup for the links. Use the {% url %} tag to create the href attribute for the <a> tag. The URL name is articles_detail and you need to provide the pk from the Article as the pk argument.
Bummer! Didn't find the correct {% url %} usage. Preview Get Help Recheck work

It's hard to tell because you don't actually have any tags within the href so I am not sure if you just didn't put anything there to get the error, which would sound about right. Or if you put something wrong and it just didn't show up here.
the href tag is already created. so we need to put {% url %} in the href. Then we need to have the url, which is articles:details and than we need the pk. We want the article pk to be exact.
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load static from staticfiles %}
{% block static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/styles.css' %}">
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
{% for article in articles %}
<a href="{%url 'articles:detail' pk=article.pk %}">{{ article.headline }}</a>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
Let me know if this works for you or if you have other issues I can try and answer.
Thanks!

2,344 PointsAn addition to this issue is that there is no mention of him adding a "namespace" to that URL. So my initial thought was to just add it like this:
<a href="{%url 'articles_detail' pk=article.pk %}">{{ article.headline }}</a>
