Hi JD,

I think most of the answers you need are on this page.

I am missing it, but I am pretty slow. How do you link to a wiki page? What the heck is an anchor word and how do you make one?

Oh, and where is the 'un-do' button? I often need that.

Help the weak and feeble...

Hi Peter,

That feature is already here. Just use the Search at the top of the wiki. It shows the results and offers to create a page based on your search terms.

I also have the same requirement.
If I have a page (say its called John Lennon) where I write eg...

John Lennon - member of the beatles

it would be good if you click something that would search to see if you had any pages already called anything within that page: eg: "the beatles" and if you did it could mark the link automatically within the text and associate it with "the beatles" url. Perhaps it could show you all the matches and you could uncheck any that you didnt want autolinked.

just write [Bob], will autolink to Bob's page, it's as simple as ... whatever, hahaha
but only with the Classic Editor, hm

Not sure if you're asking this, but if you use the "Classic" text-based editor, you can make a link by using a word with a capital letter in the middle, like NewLink.

Hey Tobo,

Thats an interesting idea - how would you decide if you wanted the pages linked or not? Is it a bigger pain to un-link pages or link them?

Thank you for the answer however I think I asked my question incorrectly. I think it is called autolink. If I have a page titled "Bob" and then another page is created and within the text is "Bob", I want that text "Bob" to autolink to the "Bob" page much like Wikipedia. Thanks.

Yes, and no. We do list links to all pages but we do not offer an automatic service that would place them into a wiki page you can edit.

Any time you need to see all pages in your wiki, just scroll to the bottom and click the "Show all pages" link.

You can also add your own link to a wiki page that will display the "all pages" page.

URL is:
http://YOURWIKI.pbwiki.com/AllPages

Just substitute the word YOURWIKI for the name of your wiki and use the address to create a URL link in a page.

wiki page links

I am very new to this technology. I have figured out how to link a word to another one of my wiki pages but can this be done automatically to make sure all possible links are formed? Thanks.
