Linking Pages
Linking Between Wiki Pages
The wiki supports a special syntax for linking to other pages using their slug.
Wiki link syntax
Type # followed by a page slug:
See [Markdown Syntax](/c/help/markdown-syntax) for formatting help.
This renders as a clickable link with the page's title.
How it works
- When you save a page, the wiki finds all
<span class="text-red-500 dark:text-red-400" title="Page not found">#slug</span>references - Known slugs are converted to titled links:
[Markdown Syntax](/c/help/markdown-syntax) - Unknown slugs appear as red links, indicating the page doesn't exist yet
Finding a page's slug
The slug is the URL-friendly version of the title. It appears in the page's URL. For example:
- Title: "Getting Started Guide"
- Slug:
getting-started-guide - URL:
/c/help/getting-started-guide
Slug redirects
When a page's title changes, the slug changes too. The old slug
is preserved as a redirect, so existing <span class="text-red-500 dark:text-red-400" title="Page not found">#old-slug</span> links
continue to work.
Autocomplete
In the editor, typing # followed by two or more characters
triggers an autocomplete dropdown. Select a page from the list
to insert the correct slug.
Backlinks ("What links here")
Every page tracks which other pages link to it. Click Actions → What links here to see all incoming wiki links. This is useful for understanding how a page fits into the broader wiki — and the wiki uses this information to prevent you from deleting a page that other pages link to.
Tips
- Slugs are always lowercase with hyphens:
my-page-title - You can link to pages in any directory — slugs are globally unique
- Red links are a good way to plan pages that don't exist yet
