Wikilinks

• a [[list]].
  • [[pull]] [[wikilink]]
• a [[thing]].
  • I’m excited about [[wikilinks everywhere]].
  • [[vera]] suggested we rename these. Some brainstorming follows
    • [[neil]] [[hyphalinks]]
    • [[multilinks]]: as they are unlike regular links in that they can point to many different places — which particular URL they resolve to depends on the user clicking them.
    • [[querylinks]] ([[qlinks]]?): as they essentially behave as queries in the agora. queries return relevant subnodes/resources.
    • [[nodelinks]] as they map to nodes in the agora.
      • [[edges]]?

• [[mediawiki-style links]]
• [[wikitext]]
• im also tempted to rebrand wikilinks
  • it’s kinda a weird word
  • it’s not the selling point for people to join the [[agora]] I thought it was going to be
• wikilinks are cool, I just feel like they need a cooler name
• potential alternative names
  • netlinks

wikilinks

Feel free to use [[[[backlinks]]]], [[wikilinks]], [[edges]], [[multilinks]], or [[whatever the fuck you want to call it]] anywhere when talking to me in reference to something on the [[anagora]] or otherwise, my browser will resolve wikilinks in the default order, aside from duckduckgo as the 3rd step for unprefixed.

What?! [[Wikilinks Everywhere]], enjoy 🥰!

Wikilinks were pioneered by earlier internet wikis to make it easier to write links across pages without needing to write Markdown or HTML links each time.

Quartz supports Wikilinks by default and these links are resolved by Quartz using the [[CrawlLinks]] plugin. See the Obsidian Help page on Internal Links for more information on Wikilink syntax.

This is enabled as a part of [[Obsidian compatibility]] and can be configured and enabled/disabled from that plugin.

Syntax

• [[Path to file]]: produces a link to Path to file.md (or Path-to-file.md) with the text Path to file
• [[Path to file | Here's the title override]]: produces a link to Path to file.md with the text Here's the title override
• [[Path to file#Anchor]]: produces a link to the anchor Anchor in the file Path to file.md
• [[Path to file#^block-ref]]: produces a link to the specific block block-ref in the file Path to file.md

  • this is why I think having an actual wiki wiki would be so good for social.coop :) eg. we’re just getting started at neuromatch.social but we have this https://wiki.neuromatch.io/Mastodon/Governance#Actions pull and have just been gathering up all FAQs asked by our members and putting them on the wiki. and then also like @[flancian 🍄] saw at our workshop a few months ago have a discord (which we’re using as the intra-instance communication spot) to wiki bot that lets you just use [[Wikilinks]] and have the messages embedded in the wiki so you can reference conversations about the topic as well :)

• [[2022-03-13 21:16:21]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • from now on the bot will respond to any messages with [[wikilinks]] in this room, and link+store them in the matching node in anagora.org
• [[2022-03-26 17:30:16]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • (note that if you use [[wikilinks]] in this room, [[agora bot]] will store a link and a copy of your message with your nickname on it in the Agora.)
• [[2022-04-16 22:21:54]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • hi there! if you add An Agora to a channel and you use [[wikilinks]], the bot will 1. link your message in anagora.org (the nodes you mentioned) and 2. respond with the link.
• [[2022-08-16 17:56:48]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • if you want to join in, feel free to use this channel; if you use [[wikilinks]] in your messages, they will be indexed by anagora.org and written in the matching nodes
• [[2022-11-18 22:39:34]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • would another wiki based on git + markdown (plus [[wikilinks]]; but I see dokuwiki supports that syntax so that’s great) and having SSO also work?
• [[2023-07-22 18:51:47]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • hi all! I’ve invited [[agora bot]] to this room. Agora bot responds to, and cross-posts, messages with any [[wikilinks]], to a free knowledge commons you can view at e.g. https://anagora.org pull. It should ignore other messages by default. Please let me know if you’d like any changes, etc.
• [[2024-08-12 11:53:23]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • Yes, An Agora watches out for [[wikilinks]] and optionally #hashtags (support varies per platform) and posts links and saves posts/anchors to the linked nodes

  • @siem @agora ahoy there! Thank you for reaching out.

    Yes, accounts that follow it or that mention it directly. It also only reacts to posts that have [[wikilinks]] or #hashtags.

    Let me know if you think any behavior should change!

  • Oh yeah! [[Pandoc 3]] has native support for [[wikilinks]]!

    https://pandoc.org/releases.html

• [[2023-02-24 00:43:57+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link):

  • #Hashtag handling in Agora bot should be lightly improved now, and you can opt out of it if you want (even if you continue to follow the bot for [[wikilinks]] based interactions).

• [[2024-05-12 15:34:24+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link):

  • @simon my proposal to work around any linking limitations is to “just” define and maintain our own linking layer on top of all forms of social media — in particular, using [[wikilinks]] to signal that the user means to link to an external knowledge base ;)

  • @BillSeitz @bmann @jessmartin @RobertHaisfield @csageland @balOShere @JoelChan86 @TiddlyWiki @an_agora @socialroots_io What we need is a [[knowledge commons]]. The commons is based on a shared set of values. A commons may define rules for self-governance. Rules for cooperation can be attached to working spaces, which in an [[agora]] all map to [[wikilinks]] resolved in a [[federated]] system.- [[2022-10-01 19:48:49+00:00]] @[[flancian]]: https://twitter.com/flancian/status/1576298105355456512 pull

[[agora bot]] is now fully back to Twitter! That means if you follow @an_agora and then use [[wikilinks]], you don’t need to keep at-mentioning the bot; they should see your post in their timeline and react to it within a few minutes. https://t.co/YH4g4KcyCZ

root.

They are also a good pattern for when you want to attach metadata to a post while boosting; I often do that by adding [[wikilinks]] or #hashtags. (2/2)
