Links to Pages that Reference Page

Open kaleb112494 opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Thought of this while adding pages. Our wiki references pages from others quite frequently. Is there a possibility of adding a side section that lists pages where the current page is referenced?

e.g. you're on /software/rufus, On the right side below "On This Page", there's a section that lists these pages that reference /software/rufus

/hardware/reloads/manual /software/automation/sop for automation fails /sops

This would help when creating new pages that link elsewhere. Not a huge deal, but would be one less thing to remember when creating documentation.

Hey @kaleb112494, thanks for opening up this request. I have to think about the use cases.

My first thought us that this will mostly pollute the sidebar(s) and will not add much value.

To clarify: Do you want this displayed while editing or while viewing the page?

Or should this be a "tool" like e.g. Blame that could be a drop-down from the "Three dots menu"?

@redimp Sorry for the delayed response. In the scenario that I have in my head, this menu would be presented while viewing, not while editing. It would be more of a tool to find out more information about the subject that's on this page. Here's an image of what I was conceptualizing. My apologies for the terrible photoshop job.

I suppose I may be using OtterWiki unlike most people, but the documentation I'm creating is separating what the subject is from how it is used, and more so in some cases.
