Wikilinks 101: making backlinks work for you

`[[Page Name]]` is not just a link — it is the primitive that builds your knowledge graph.

Kition Team·Mar 20, 2026·4 min read

Basics

  • `[[Page Name]]` links to `Page Name.md`
  • `[[Page Name|alias]]` displays as "alias"
  • `[[Page Name#heading]]` links to a section
  • `[[Page Name^block-id]]` links to a block

Backlinks panel

The right panel shows every place that links back to the current doc — context beats graphs. Renaming a doc auto-updates references.
