Wikilinks Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Roadmap timing for platform upgrades: Statamic 6 support in 2.2.0 unblocks upgrading the CMS to the next major version without losing wiki-style internal linking — directly informs when the Statamic 6 migration can be scheduled.
• Build vs. buy for internal knowledge linking: Wikilinks ([[Page Name]] style auto-linking between entries) is a commodity capability; this package lets you avoid building and maintaining a custom link parser, resolver, and indexer.
• Content architecture decisions: Enables a wiki/knowledge-base content model (heavily cross-linked entries) as a viable product surface — internal docs portals, help centers, editorial glossaries, documentation sites.
• Upgrade risk budgeting: The addon's version alignment with Statamic majors is now a tracked dependency in your platform upgrade plan; a lagging addon is a known blocker.
• Ecosystem commitment signal: First-time contributor involvement and active maintenance factor into whether to standardize on the Statamic addon ecosystem vs. bespoke Laravel implementations.

When to Consider This Package

Consider it when:

• You run (or plan to run) Statamic 5 or 6 and want automatic wikilink resolution between entries without custom development.
• Your content model is relationship-dense — docs, wikis, glossaries, internal handbooks — where authors would otherwise manually create and maintain links.
• You want to reduce authoring friction and broken-link drift, and prefer a maintained community addon over an in-house parser.
• You are planning a Statamic 6 upgrade and need your addon stack to be compatible.

Look elsewhere when:

• You are not on Statamic (this is an addon, not a general Laravel package — no value in a plain Laravel or other CMS stack).
• You need enterprise-grade SLA/support contracts; this is a small, community-maintained package with a narrow surface.
• You require rich link semantics (backlinks graphs, link analytics, redirect management, permission-aware link visibility) — evaluate whether the addon's scope covers this or needs supplementation.
• Your linking needs are trivial and static (a few hardcoded links) — the dependency isn't justified.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

For executives: This is a small, focused addon that gives our Statamic content platform automatic wiki-style cross-linking between pages. The new 2.2.0 release adds Statamic 6 compatibility, which removes a blocker from our platform upgrade path — we can now plan the Statamic 6 migration without losing this capability or rebuilding it. Cost is effectively zero (open source), risk is low (narrow scope, active maintenance), and the alternative is custom development we'd have to own indefinitely.

For engineering: 2.2.0 is a compatibility-only release — adds Statamic 6 support, no API changes, no deprecations, no breaking changes. Safe to adopt. Note it's a low-bus-factor community addon with a first-time contributor on this change; pin the version, and confirm the addon stays aligned with future Statamic majors as part of our upgrade checklist. Recommend a quick smoke test of link resolution on Statamic 6 in staging before rolling into the upgrade.
