Rescaning for links

[TRO1984]

Is there a way to rescan the whole campaign for links? Or do I need to do it to each article?

Am I just missing it?

I was just coming here to post the same question...

Anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller?

This is something that's on the todo list, but it's not in place yet. There are actually some technically challenging aspects to this that we didn't anticipate when we first looked at adding this capability, so we held off on it.

The best way to avoid needing this feature is to create your topics before you need to link to them. To that end, there is the Quick Create mechanism, which is accessed via the <ctrl+Q> keyboard shortcut. Let's say that you're entering a topic about Fred and you find yourself typing in a snippet about his best friend Barney. Before you save anything, press <ctrl+Q>, which will prompt you to create a topic for Barney. Once Barney is created, you're right back where you were with Fred. Now you type in a snippet about Fred's wife Wilma, so you use <ctrl+Q> to create Wilma. Then you save your changes to Fred. At this point, both Barney and Wilma are created, so they are automatically detected and links to them are created.

Hope this helps!

I love you, man!


But where were you 40+ Places and People ago, when I was fighting with the Chicken/Egg problem of shops and owners!

j/k That's going to help quite a bit from here on out!

This is actually an extremely useful info to have. I've also been struggling with all of this, realizing as I write intros or descriptions that I don't have that info available yet.

I suppose reading a manual or something would have made too much sense...

Thanks!
