Is there a way to link back to the Party wiki from the Npc descriptions? I know I can put in slugs in the wiki or the Npc description that refers to another Npc. But in the Npc bio I would like to link back to pages of background information in the wiki, specifically events and setting backstory. Is that possible without using the full address of the wiki article in the bio?

As far as I know, there is not a way to link back to your wiki from a character page- I think this is because characters are stored outside of your wiki, i.e. two wikis can link to one character, but that character won’t know which wiki to link back to. Does that make sense?

I’ve been putting all my NPCs as wiki pages, for that reason alone.

You can link back to wiki pages, but as a link to an external site, using the ””: format.

I can’t manage to get a link back to the wiki from a character page to work. Can you provide a full context example?

EDIT: Ok, I found the Textile ””: reference, but still can’t get it to work. Is Google not correct?

2nd EDIT: Wonderful, it works just fine here

3rd EDIT: Fantastic! I found the tools to do it in the toolbar at the top of the edit box. I feel like a nub.

Minor NPCs are wiki pages for me due to this linking problem. The only way to link NPC pages is with the log winded url reference. But it’s nice to have the NPC pages displaying there portraits so I’ve still been using it for the main NPCs.

Glad you got things figured out!
