I am pretty sure I did something wrong in this reaction, as I was trying to make an ore named after an awesome dwarf in my fortress, yet even when I generate a new world, the reaction doesn't show up in the smelter.

[REACTION:CAROLEITE_MAKING]
[NAME:make caroleite bars]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:1:METAL_ORE:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:CAROLEITE]
[PRODUCT:100:4:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:CAROLEITE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]

Did you remember to add [PERMITTED_REACTION:CORLEITE_MAKING] to your dwarf entity? Without it, dwarves don't know how to run that reaction.

No, I did not, thank you for your help!

"[REAGENT:A:1:METAL_ORE:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:CAROLEITE]" is invalid - what you want is "[REAGENT:A:1:METAL_ORE:CAROLEITE]". Next time, either look at existing reactions to see how they work (i.e. in this case, look at other reactions which use METAL_ORE) or check the wiki. Also, you really should be using "INORGANIC" as your base material type - "METAL" is just an alias provided for backwards compatibility.

Strictly speaking, you don't even need a custom reaction to make metal bars from ore - all you need to do is add [METAL_ORE:CAROLEITE:100] to the ore material and the smelter will automatically allow you to smelt it. The only time you need to use METAL_ORE in reactions is when you want to make alloys directly from ores.
