Frequently asked questions about Wikilinks
- What is statamic/wikilinks used for?
- It adds wiki-style double-bracket links such as [[Entry Title]] to Statamic-managed content. Wikilinks resolves those references to matching entries, supports custom display text, handles missing pages gracefully, and can surface backlinks. It is intended for Statamic sites such as internal knowledge bases, documentation, and wiki-style content collections, not plain Laravel applications.
- How do I install statamic/wikilinks?
- It is a Composer package and a Statamic addon, so installation follows normal Composer and Statamic addon enablement. Add the package to your Statamic project, enable the addon, then validate wikilink parsing and entry resolution in a staging environment. The context does not provide the exact Composer command or configuration keys, so check the repository README for precise setup steps.
- Does statamic/wikilinks 2.2.0 support Statamic 6?
- Yes, release 2.2.0 is described as a compatibility release that adds Statamic 6 support. It does not introduce new user-facing features; the main purpose is alignment with the current Statamic major line. You should still confirm PHP and Laravel constraints in the package composer requirements before upgrading.
- Does statamic/wikilinks 2.2.0 still support Statamic 5?
- The provided assessment does not confirm whether 2.2.0 supports Statamic 5 and Statamic 6 simultaneously. Before applying it to a Statamic 5 site, check the package composer constraints and test in staging. If 2.2.0 drops Statamic 5 support, stay on 2.1.x until your Statamic upgrade is ready.
- What PHP and Laravel versions does statamic/wikilinks require?
- The context does not list exact PHP or Laravel version constraints. Because Statamic addons depend on the parent CMS requirements, confirm the package composer.json against your Statamic 6 or Statamic 5 PHP and Laravel matrix. Do not assume compatibility from the addon release alone.
- How do I use custom display text in a wikilink?
- The package supports custom display text for wiki-style links, so you can show readable label text while still resolving to the matching entry. The exact syntax is not included in the provided context, so verify the README for the pipe or alias format used by statamic/wikilinks. Test a few representative links in staging before rolling out author guidance.
- What happens when a wikilink points to a missing page?
- Wikilinks handles missing pages gracefully, so unresolved double-bracket references should not break content rendering. The precise fallback behavior is not specified in the context, so confirm whether it renders plain text, a placeholder, or a broken-link style in your theme. Add this to your content-author guidance and regression tests.
- Does statamic/wikilinks support backlinks?
- Yes, the package can surface backlinks, which helps wiki-style content show where an entry is referenced. Backlinks are useful for knowledge bases and documentation where relationships between entries matter. Validate backlink output against your Statamic templates and caching setup.
- Is statamic/wikilinks a general Laravel package?
- No, it is a Statamic CMS addon in the Laravel/PHP ecosystem, so it fits only teams already using Statamic. It is not intended for plain Laravel applications or non-Statamic CMS deployments. The integration effort is mainly Statamic addon enablement plus content and rendering validation.
- Are there automated tests for Statamic 6 compatibility?
- The assessment flags this as a key question and does not confirm automated test coverage against Statamic 6. Release 2.2.0 is small and from a new contributor, so maintenance signal is neutral rather than strong. Run your own staging regression tests for link parsing, entry resolution, caching, and publish workflows.
