Aliases

Aliases are alternate names for the same Object. They improve search and linking while preserving one canonical title.

Add an alias

1. Open the Object’s Customize menu.
2. Choose Add aliases.
3. Type an alternate name and confirm it.

Aliases appear as removable chips. Blank and case-insensitive duplicate entries are ignored. Once an Object has aliases, its alias row remains available from the page.

Find and link by alias

Aliases are included in the workspace search index. A search result indicates when the alias—not the title—is what matched. Alias-aware title resolution also helps wikilinks find the intended Object under another known name.

Aliases are not tags

An alias names the Object itself. A tag categorizes or connects it. For example, NYC can be an alias of an Object titled New York City; travel is a Tag related to it.

Type property renames also retain old names as schema aliases, but those are separate from the user-facing aliases on an Object.
