Looks like you turned off allow pages to shuffle and allow spreads to shuffle. Re-enable them from the pages panel.

You want to create a type of table of contents. Read about it here:

Create a table of contents in Adobe InDesign

You can make a table of any kinds—table of contents, table of illustrations, in your case a table of contributors.

The key thing is that you must have the name of the contributor formatted in a particular paragraph style. That is how InDesign know to include it in the table of contributors. (If necessary, it could even be "hidden text" on the page where you want the page referenced.)

Feel free to ask more questions as you try this method out.
