Node [[wikilink]]
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/wikilinkin an [[agora]]. - When needed [[slugify]] rules are applied.
- Wikilinks are great because they allow for very easy linking: you just [[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]].

[[wikilink]] resolves to

Wikilinks Everywhere
- A [[project]]. [[open source]].
-
The [[goal]] is to make [[wikilinks]] work everywhere on the internet.
- A [[wikilink]] is any entity or phrase surrounded by two square brackets.
-
[[wikilinks]] can be [[lazily resolved]] in a user chosen [[context]].
- Default context: an [[agora]] of the user's choice.
- It has a [[browser extension]] component.
-
It has a [[social network]] component.
- People could start using [[wikilinks]] on any platform that supports user generated [[content]] online, social networks being likely the most popular interfaces.
- For the purpose of connecting to such platforms we'd like to develop an [[agora bridge]].
