Wikilink

• A wikilink looks like this: [[wikilink]]. They are text surrounded by two square brackets.
  • Not to be confused with an [[ECMAScript internal property]], which is also surrounded by doubel brackets :)
• Wikilinks come, wait for it, from [[wiki]]s :) But they need not be limited only to things we usually think of as wikis.
  • You could use [[wikilinks everywhere]].
  • You can think of the Agora as a sort of distributed wiki, although users in this particular kind of wiki volunteer individual contributions instead of editing common pages (for now).
• Wikilinks are the heart of this [[agora]].
  • [[wikilink]] resolves to node/wikilink in an [[agora]].
    • [[wikilink]] -> https://anagora.org/node/wikilink [[slugify]] rules are applied.
      • [[wikilinks everywhere]] -> https://anagora.org/node/wikilinks-everywhere
      [[link it as you go along]], then the link either works (because someone wrote that node/article/resource already) or you can click through and backfill it. I call this procedure link-driven writing.
    • Whenever there is more than one [[node]] with a given wikilink in an Agora (typical use case: notes kept on a certain topic by different users), the Agora will surface all of them when resolving the wikilink in question. Example: [[README]].
  • [[pull]] [[wikilinks]] [[wikilinks everywhere]]

This Twitter Agora bot will be down again for some time today while we test and move to Tweepy 4.10, hopefully re-adding timeline support in the process (so you don’t have to explicitly mention the bot every time you use a [[wikilink]] or hashtag!).

  • @agora @agora you can also not opt in, and then the posts will be linked but not written to the Agora.And you can also not follow the bot, just mention it like this :) And, remember, before posting anything you would like to save you can go back and add at least one [[wikilink]] :)

  • @Matt_Noyes thank you for asking!You could call it a markdown extension — it’s a [[wikilink]], like e.g. Wikipedia or many personal knowledge management systems use them.It’s a link that is unresolved (for now), but can be understood to be an entity that can be looked up/talked about. Some systems call it a #topic.

I use [[wikilink]] and #hashtags a lot. I love them and I think they are great [[tools for thought]].
